Condensation, or "sweating," is a natural occurrence on all windows and is caused by excess humidity, or invisible water vapor, present in the air. When this water vapor comes in contact with a surface which is at a cooler temperature, the vapor turns to visible droplets of moisture.


Use fans in bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms to circulate the air.
Air out your home frequently by opening doors and windows.
Reduce the number of indoor house plants, as plants increase humidity levels.
Use a dehumidifier to remove excess humidity from the air.

I've just bought a dehumidifier for my flat, coz the condensation is causing the walls to get a bit mouldy. Cost about £100, and it seems to have done the trick. Maybe look at investing in one for the garage? Have you got power in there? If not I think you can get non-powered ones, but dunno how good they'd be.

Stick polystyrene sheets to the underside of the roof to get rid of 80% of it and do the walls if you want more. Even the thin stuff on a roll will be a help.

If your bike is away for the winter then you can get a cover which goes right over the bike, you then attach your hoover to it to remove all the air and create a vacuum. Therefore you don't get any moisture. 8) Not sure where its available from though, and not much use if you use your bike over the winter :lol:
