Hi all
Up until today I have never had a problem with condensation. The workshop is a 45mm thick pine log cabin insulated with 25mm polystyrene followed by a polythene vapour barrier then lined with 12mm chipboard. I have two greenhouse type tube heaters that run constantly during the cold weather and an oil filled radiator I use when I'm cold. The radiator is always turned of at night and the dehumidifier is left running. Every time I return to the workshop it is bone dry, cast iron, glass the lot not a drop of water and never a rust stain to be seen. However last night like a wally I forgot not only to turn on the dehumidifier but also left the radiator on and tonight all the windows are steamed up and running with water. The dehumidifier is a recent addition, even before its arrival there was no sign of condensation.
Any one got any ideas why an oil filled rad might cause this as I always assumed this to be a source of dry heat.
thanks for your time.
