Hi, Has anyone any good ideas regarding condensationed windows..??
As shop is damp and windows not dobbleglazed, they keep getting wet every night, and cant put up posters....

And as everybody, I need to remind people that it is Mothers day THIS Sunday he he..

Have a feeling that we could be flat out on Saturday with tons of panic-buy's...Can't wait :-)

I have double glazed windows and mine still get condensation in the mornings.

I just open the door for a bit and its gone within about 20 mins. Dont think there is that much you can do really.

I had a small extractor fan put in, that helps and I have a tower fan in the corner of the window. Still get some condensation but not as bad. I had a big m/d sign made by local signmaker, self adhesive job, for £30 so it doesn't matter if that gets wet, mind you it was a bugger to put up

We have a small halogen heater on a timer that we use near the window and that seems to help a bit...but really theres not much you can do. Although what Breezy said is a good idea...our shop logo is on a plastic sticker think which you can peel on and off...but beware of air bubbles!

A dehumidifier would be your best bet

if you are having problems now it could get worse in the summer with hot tempts and damp air in your shop, esp if you are on the sunny side of the street. the sun will come up much earlier and warm those damded windows up.

best bet is a dehumdifyer that FBA sugested. it is expensive but once you have it you have it. i am getting one next week before the prices rise for summer

I did have a dehumidifier too but you need to be able to get it right in close to the window and they are not an attractive piece of furniture, you have to keep emptying the water out and I still needed the fan on, I got mine from B&Q for about £80. The extractor fan cost me £125 including installation and personally I find it more effective. You might have to experiment a bit to find which suits you best.

I have the same problem... I have a good dehumidifier but the still are bad.... we were told to put a small amount of washing up liquid on a dry cloth and wipe the windows, this helps a bit... not too much!!! Smeary look not good...ha-ha. Do it when it when the windows are dry, just after cleaning is best...... it doesn’t stop it but it gives you a bit of time with clear windows...
