weve just done our whole house in ali windows, wished we'd done it lyears ago. It is mostly double glazing, one or two windows arnt. but the house is soooo much warmer, and condensation has gone down , instead of towels on towels wiping windows, its just now a small wipe. so pleased

I'm glad that it is working out for you.
Our first house had wooden window frames, single glazed. Didn't have too much problems with moisture, but our new house has single glazed aluminium window frames and they have big time condensation issues. I will change them to double glazing in the future, but there still will be the problem of the framing which is an excellent conductor of heat and therefore generates a lot of moisture as they are always cold.
The old house was much warmer than the new house, but that is to be expected.

Look at what is causing the moisture . It is normally what you are doing and your lifestyle that is causing it on the windows .

Yes, it is caused by breathing. The moisture caused by breathing condensates on the cold surface of the aluminium window frame.

We had to replace a sash and windowsill after the house painter discovered it had rotted. Our builder carefully took it out and took it down to the local timber yard where they lasered the sill and sash for a pattern, then built us a new one. I'm sorry, can't remember the price, we were doing alterations at the same time so the price was thrown in with that. But it could be worth thinking about. You may not be too worried about the look, but any potential buyer could be. And besides, if a job is worth doing, it's worth doing right.

We have good extractor fans in the bathrooms and the kitchen and use them I also air out the house every day.

mate its simple as this, the inside of the home is warmer than the outside there for if there isnt a barrier build into the framing you get condensation that is why weep holes are build into the framing yep breathing and also farting mite help lift the moisture content inside the home

Warm air will absorb more moisture than colder air before it becomes saturated. Therefore if that warm air touches a cold surface, the moisture will condensate on it.

Our house this morning is 19deg inside and outside 8 deg and damp yet there is no condensation on our D/G alloy windows .
Yes a long time. That's why I won't bother doing it again.
