What Is Condensation?

Welcome to Our Damp Proofing Services: Understanding Condensation in Glasgow

Condensation is common and affects property owners, especially in Glasgow, where the climate is marked by humidity and frequent rainfall. Understanding condensation is key to managing moisture levels and preventing damage caused by dampness. This guide will help you understand condensation, its symptoms and how we can help combat the problem.

What is Condensation?

Condensation happens when warm air meets a cooler surface, causing moisture to condense into water droplets. Simply put, it’s the process of water vapour turning into liquid. In Glasgow, with its varying temperatures and high humidity levels, moisture buildup occurs, in poorly ventilated areas.

Characteristics

  • Temperature Differential: Condensation occurs when there’s a noticeable temperature difference between the air and the surface it touches. The colder the surface, the higher the chance condensation will form.

  • High Humidity: Glasgow’s climate is humid, especially due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Indoor activities like cooking, bathing and drying clothes also contribute to moisture related issues.

  • Poor Ventilation: Inadequate ventilation traps moist air indoors. Without proper airflow to disperse the moisture, it settles on surfaces, causing dampness, mould and potential property damage.

Symptoms

  • Water Droplets: A key sign of condensation is water droplets on windows, walls or surfaces, particularly in colder areas.

  • Mould & Mildew: Condensation creates ideal conditions for mould and mildew, which thrive in damp environments. Black mould or musty odours are signs of condensation related mould growth.

  • Peeling Wallpaper or Paint: Excess moisture from condensation can cause wallpaper or paint to peel, indicating underlying moisture issues that need attention.
