Condensation occurs in the space between the glass panes when holes appear in the seal around the glass and warm air enters from inside the property. Moisture forms as the warm air makes contact with the cooler external pane of glass, which means that you have a condensation issue.

Changing to double glazing will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing, if your property in Portchester has currently got single glazed windows. Upgrading to double glazed windows can also add extra value to your home, which of course will be an advantage if you eventually choose to sell up.
