Yeah I got a massive one last year when the utility suppliers decided it'd be fun to try and financially break us all. Unfortunately, due to afore-mentioned zero insulation and single pane windows and subsequent condensation I need to keep the place well-aired (all windows open for at least 30mins per day, every day) followed by at least an hours blast of the heating just to ensure I don't get black mould :/
Ugh yeah I've lived in places like that, absolute nightmare
I've got single paned windows. I put that plastic storm shield plastic sheet across them. Keeps the condensation down to miniscule levels.
That sounds good! Have you got a link?
Just look for window insulation kit. It's just plastic sheeting that you put on your window frame, stuck in place with double sided tape. You then get a hair dryer to tighten the plastic, so it holds tout. This process gives you an air gap between the window and your rooms warm air, so often cuts out condensation.
I use it every year, it makes a huge difference for me in wiping down windows alone in the morning and it's deffo warmer sitting next to the window too.
