Condensation

[Guest snowy2011]

Can you stop condensation on plastic?

[buster151]

yes remove the plastic lol sorry couldn't resist that, the only way I have found is if air is circulating around it, still doesn't stop it all though

[Guest snowy2011]

Ha ha thought I might get that. Would a chimney help?

Can you stop condensation on plastic?

 

 

yes you can what you have to do is create a air space between the 2 if you use a plastic corrugated sheet place another one a 1" below the other or a sheet of clear plastic a sort of double skin and you will find that solves your problem try a piece of polythene tacked to the under side of your shed at the light area where the problem lies the air space is the thing that stop condensation

Good ventilation and plenty of moving air. I never get condensation in the loft. I have got my windowhood loft fully lined walls and ceilings with 8x4 sheets of plastic and never suffer with condensation, we also have corrugated plastic sheets in our walk ways roofs and never have a problem there our lofts are bone dry all year round. I put that down to the ronnie williamson style roof and ventilation system on the loft.

I would certainly look at the movement of air in the loft.

Ihave triple glazed polycarbon sheeting covered by profile sheeting on my loft and not a drop of condensation. On the roof of my aviaries I only have single small profile PVC and it drips with condensation when frosty. I think the secret is the air space between sheeting, IMO
