    hi all,
    i bought my house about 2 years back. there is an flat roof extension on the back with two plastic dome skylights ( one on kitchen and one on utility room ) . during winter a lot of condensation forms on the inside of the skylights and drips onto the floor, not a huge amount but enough to be REALLY REALLY ANNOYING:mad:. as you probably know condensation occurs when hot air rising from the radiator meets the cold surface of the skylight. so i was thinking if i suspended a sheet of perspex flush with the ceiling and seal it, this would leave about a 20 inch gap between the perspex sheet and the skylight. does anyone think this would sort it ??? thanks in advance

    I thought those domes were designed to let condensation run down the sides and into a vent along the bottom edge. Have you checked to make sure the vents aren't blocked?
