Hi,

I have recently bought an old pre 1930's bungalow with nine inch solid
brick
walls and an appalling condensation /mildew problem due mainly to the fact
that what with double glazing which has no vents or
snipped
Hope someone out there can help.

Thanks
Susan :O)



You must allow air in, for it to get back out, or you will really be living
in a vacuum packed house. Keep cold air in takes way down low to the floor,
and hot exhaust gasses way up high above the roof. Doing that causes the
air to circulate around the house and draw any excessive moisture and dust
out the forced flue of the chimney.

Any sealed room with a heater is a potential death trap because of carbon
by-products, and not only from the heaters but from people breathing, so
please allow an air circulation path if you're thinking of using any
heaters, especially solid or fossil fuels.
