POLL: Single, double or triple glazed?

chanti1, my grandparents used to have massive condensation problems with their double glazing as it was added as an afterthought, it had about a 4 inch gap and was not sealed so they would have to keep cloths in the gap to mop it all up. In my parents house there were a couple of windows prone to this problem between the panes - caused when the seal on the double glazed units failed. Because you can't get to it the result is eventually mould. The units had to be changed which to my mind seems drastic and wasteful. There should be a way of removing, cleaning and resealing units on site. Of course condensation happens with single glazing all the time. Where I live now we get condensation on the outside of the window at night. Air conditioning indoors and extreme humidity outside with night time temperatures still in the high twenties centigrade does that.

hi I wonder how long you have had the planter situated on the left side of the entrance. this may be a source of the problem. if water is being directed over the damp course on the wall. the rendered finish to the house does not show any indication of a dpc, so this could have been bridged by works in the past. the pavement level is high on the house looking at the step into the house. it should be 150mm or three brick courses. yours seems to be only 50 mm at the entrance. the door is fitted virtually flush in the opening and there is an absence of a threshold cill at the entrance. any water hitting the door will run down and be discharged through sweep holes on the profile onto the small margin at the front. this may be running along and entering around the door. in terms of solutions. check mastic seals at the door to try to renew. add a threshold strip to the door to throw water out off the door. check on some of the other possibilities. rising damp will contain ground salts, this can be tested on the internal wall with a salts meter, a surveyor can do this for you. sorry without more investigation the possibilities and solutions are wide open from your initial information. best Rowland

glazing dilemma

Hmm SW facing and lots of glass... yes heat could be an issue, only for a few weeks a year but you don’t want your kitchen unusable for those weeks. Skylights let in a lot more heat than vertical glazing (the doors) so I would definitely consider some kind of built in heat reflecting electric blind across the lantern. If it’s done at the time of building it can be done more cheaply and easily than retrofitting. I would also recommend making part of the lantern electrically opening if budget allows, so you can get ventilation and let out trapped buzzy insects! We have an electric awning above our sliding doors and it does make a massive difference to the heat coming in, without blocking the view of the garden. Not cheap though (although manual ones are a lot cheaper). For us it was worth the cost as it also provides shade for our outdoor eating area and privacy (we are overlooked).
