I've got a similar problem although the condensation tends to be less on the actual windows themselves and more on the metal window frames we have in our flat. We try to ventilate the rooms as much as possible but the missus feels the cold too much to have the windows open for too long. Is a dehumid...

Skirting Board + Uneven Floor

Hi Not sure this is the right forum. We've recently decorated our bathroom having had to have new flooring put in.
