Default Condensation on double glazing

wrote in news:1140255517.105098.318840
@g44g2000cwa.googlegroups.com:

I had some double glazing fitted last year, it was fitted by a FENSA
registered company, but was the cheapest quote we found - approx £4000
for 6 leaded windows and a patio door.

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.

The water is not inbetween the pannels (as I can wipe it off) and the
panels dont feel particually cold.

The links below are some pictures of the condensation, I just wanted to
know if it is a result of buying cheap double glazing (in which case
fair enough) or if it means they are faulty. Is there some kind of
measureable leagal minimum that the windows need to comply with?

Surprised no one has asked (or I missed it) if you have exhaust fans in the
shower(s) and using them with the door closed. Or if person(s) tend to exit
and leave door open shortly after shower. Better to leave fan on after
exiting and close door until at least the mirror clears. May not have made
a difference before but does now.

Just one of many possible contributors but a significant one.

This only happens on mornings where it is particually cold and wet out


Are there other types in the UK? :-)


"websphere" - don't see many of those users in the general population.
