If you'd had the same problem then what, if any, solution was found. Re YET... 7 years and no mold. Re condensation will appear somewhere else... not in any world where the laws of physics apply and water vapour condenses only onto cold surfaces. There IS a complex interaction between humidity...

From that response, Stevieo, I gather you have nothing constructive or informative to add to this topic. I'll repeat... the walls are insulated, even behind furniture, so do not attract condensation. Moist air will only condense on cold surfaces. That's basic physics. My own researches have...

Moisture will only condense on cold surfaces. Remove the cold surfaces surfaces and there is no condensation. All my walls, window reveals, and ceiling are insulated, the windows are double-glazed, and the only cold spot is that 4" strip along the gable wall... which I cannot remove. There has...

We don't get mould, just a little darkening from the condensed moisture absorbing into plaster through the matt vinyl emulsion. One of my possible solutions, and certainly the simplest, was an anti-condensation paint... which may have very similar properties to the Zinsser anti-mold paint...

Although I am a joiner by trade, my query is very much from the perspective of a plastering DIY'er. Having done a number of smaller plastering jobs I have the deepest admiration for the professionals. It takes me ages, it exhausts me and my finish is only so-so. I insulated the walls of the top...

Am just putting the final touches to some drylining with Gyproc 50mm RF system and low expansion foam, and I've been wondering how much I've saved by doing it myself. As a joiner, it's the first time I've ventured this far into the dark arts of plastering and now I've painted most of it, I must...

Hi all. Have been reading posts here for a while but only just decided to jump in. Please be nice to me; I'm not a plasterer, I'm a joiner. Like most trades, I've multi-skilled quiet extensively over the years. But of all trades, it's plasterers for whome I have the most admiration. Ive built...
