GUIDELINES TO COMBAT CONDENSATION AND MOULD GROWTH. FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE RULES FOR A HEALTHIER HOME Condensation is the water produced when warm moist air or steam meets a cold surface such as windows, walls or floors. It is sometimes so severe that householders believe their windows leak or that their house is structurally damp. Condensation is often a problem in older non-thermally efficient houses or newer houses where doors and windows are more draught proof than in older properties or where there is central heating installed and there are no or fewer chimneys. Condensation can cause mould growth on walls and can damage clothes and furnishings. Controlling it is a matter of reducing sources of water vapour to a minimum and finding the right balance between heating and ventilation in your particular house.
