Default Condensation on double glazing

We are happy with the windows etc, but in winter sometimes get
condensation on the windows. This only happens on mornings where it is
particually cold and wet out, it burns off by midday, and is worse in
rooms where people have been sleeping.


Double glazing doesn't prevent condensation but merely reduces it. People
in a room produce water vapour from their breath, and this tends to
condense out on the coldest part of the room which will still be the
window. You need either more ventilation or stopping the temperature
dropping so low inside to prevent it.
