Condensation in your conservatory

March 3, 2023

If you have a conservatory, you might notice that condensation forms on the inside of the glazing panel, especially during the colder months of the year.

This is a common problem that many homeowners face and can be caused by a variety of factors, such as high humidity, poor ventilation, or faulty seals. If you notice condensation inside your conservatory, here are some steps you can take to address the issue.


  • Check the seals

The first thing you should do is to check the seals around the glazing panel. Over time, these seals can become worn or damaged, allowing moisture to seep into the space between the panels. If you see any gaps or cracks in the seals, you should replace them. This can help to prevent moisture from entering the panel and reduce the amount of condensation that forms inside.


  • Increase ventilation

One of the most common causes of condensation inside a conservatory is poor ventilation. If your conservatory does not have sufficient airflow, moisture can build up and cause condensation to form. You can increase ventilation by opening windows or doors, installing vents, or using a dehumidifier. This can help to circulate the air and reduce the amount of moisture that is present in the space.


  • Reduce humidity


High humidity levels can also contribute to condensation inside a conservatory. To reduce humidity, you can use a dehumidifier or air conditioner. You should also avoid drying clothes inside the conservatory or placing plants that release a lot of moisture into the air. If you have a bathroom or kitchen adjacent to the conservatory, make sure that they are properly ventilated as well.


  • Install secondary glazing


If your conservatory has single glazing, you might want to consider installing secondary glazing. This involves adding a second layer of glazing to the existing pane, which can help to reduce heat loss and prevent condensation from forming. This can be a cost-effective solution that can improve the energy efficiency of your conservatory as well.


  • Consult a professional


If you have tried these solutions and are still experiencing condensation inside your conservatory, you might want to consult a professional. A specialist can inspect your conservatory and provide advice on the best course of action. They might recommend installing new glazing, adding insulation, or making other modifications to improve the overall performance of your conservatory.


In conclusion, condensation inside a conservatory is a common problem that can be caused by a variety of factors. By following these steps, you can reduce the amount of condensation that forms and improve the overall comfort of your conservatory. If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to consult a professional who can provide expert advice and support.
