Default Remember mould behind bed in the bedroom?

Our first action was to have cavity wall insulation installed which
provided a dramatic improvement to the apparent temperature of the walls
and ended the appearance of mould. This did, however, cause more
condensation on the double glazed windows which requires additional
ventilation to keep in check.



You're the only person who's agreed with me on that matter!

Thanks for making me confident that I wasn't imagining the situation.


Might I suggest, the increased condensation after CWI could be from
moisture wicking through the wall into your house as the insulation
dries. after a period of time, I would expect the increased condensation
problem to go.

A bit like when you have your walls plastered.

Though I'm not an expert on the subject.
