What do you think

Condensation may only appear occasionally throughout the year, it is quite normal; to what extent depends on ambient temperatures at the time.

Moisture is always in the air in a living environment: the average family produces 20-30kg per day.

With today's living conditions demanding ever higher levels of energy conscious fortification, such as: double glazing, draught excluders, cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, etc, etc, the last barrier to rising, warm, moisture laden air, is the roof.

Even though it may not be startlingly evident, condensation could be creating various forms of damage over time, and dank, fetid, still air is unhealthy at the best of times; therefore, safe, controlled, positive ventilation is very much a necessity.
