Hello all,
I speak from bitter experience on the subject of condensation, mould and chrome decaying before your very eyes and the strange feeling of desperation all this brings.
Its all to do with airflow and keeping the inside air temperature close to that outside. If there’s a big difference, and by opening a door and the two air masses meet, there will be a formation of condensation.
I had one of those Compton garages once, made from pre-fab concrete panels; these just didn’t ‘breathe’ and help equalize the two temperatures. So, at about 11.00 in the morning on a bright spring sunny day, the air temperature had risen but that in the garage was pretty much as it was during the cold night. On several occasions, I would open the up-and-over door, the warm air would rush in, meet the cold air and believe me a cloud would form momentarily.
Now I have a garage constructed from breeze block and brick; this allows the garage to breathe and is condensation free. A vent in the window also helps and I don’t bother with a dehumidifier.
So to me the key is ventilation and keeping the temperatures as equal as possible.
Hope that gives some ideas.
Have a great Christmas and the 750 K2 WILL be on the road next year.
Cheers
Phil
