Building defects database - Condensation

Record details

Windows affected by severe condensation caused by failure of the seals. The internal glazing bars are only decorative so each full-sized pane will need to be replaced. Replacement of an individual pane is not difficult or especially costly but if more than one or two have failed it suggests that all units of the same age in the property may be at risk. Making large scale replacements becomes costly and may need to be reflected in the value of the property.

Condensation within defective sealed double glazed window units may be less obvious from the outside than when viewed from the interior but may still be visible.
