When it comes to home interiors, there are various measures that people might want to adopt in order to avoid condensation, an expert suggests.
Writing in an article for the
Daily Telegraph, Jeff Howell stated that humidity is one factor that householders may need to think about.
Responding to a reader's query about condensation issues, Mr Howell commented: "Do whatever you can to lower the relative humidity, by increasing ventilation."
Windows might enable property owners to deal with humidity, he added, if they keep them open.
In his piece, the expert also recommended: "Use heating to keep room surfaces above dew point temperature."
Those looking to improve the look of their windows, perhaps with the use of
roller blinds, might be interested to note that Mr Howell also recently discussed the issue of double glazing with his readers.
In a separate Telegraph article, he called on homeowners to ensure that new window installations meet the British Standard BS6262.
