Hi looking for advise on the above.
There are vents in some rooms but not all in our house and we suffer from condensation on windows in the winter.
Specifically the bedrooms would be the worst and of course these have no vents.

Now the windows are single glazed which we will be looking to replace in the coming months. My question is when we install should we look for trickle vents in them and would that suffice or should we look at getting wall vents installed instead.

Just wondering will the trickle vents do the same job as a wall vent?

Id get new windows and core out permanent vents in the wall. Very easy job to do.
I wouldn't pick trickle vents if I had the choice.

Thanks kceire, that's the way I am swinging to be honest, im not convinced that the trickle vents would be as good as traditional wall vents.
