Great seat if you need to fit three car seats in one row
June 8, 2014
I have a four year old and twin 1 year olds. I originally bought two rear facing only seats for my twins (had to do some research to find three that would all fit in my car). Now that I moved my twins to forward facing I had to purchase another two seats for them that would fit along with the booster I have for my four year old. These seats are narrow enough to easily fit three across either forward facing OR rear facing. I have one fairy wide booster seat + two Radians and while its a bit tight, it easily works. I've also moved all three to different cars and it fit all of them without issues. If I had three Radians it would be even be easier (since my booster is a few inches wider than these seats). My kids like the seats, seem comfortable to them, and are easy to buckle them in with. I didn't try rear facing with the kids in them, but I put them in the car just to see and space was ok that was too. I currently have 10 car seats including my two Radians, and these are one of the easiest ones to install of the bunch. If you are looking to fit three kids in a standard car (I have a Tucson and an Altima), I would recommend going with these. My only regret is that I didnt purchase these originally instead of buying separate infant carriers.
fits three across in a standard size vehicle (Camry, Fusion, Altima, etc). Rear facing OR front facing. Easy to install Easy to buckle children in Seems comfortable

Great Seat Overall but a few Quirks
June 18, 2015
This seat fits great in my vehicle and seems to be very comfortable for my daughter. The two things that bother me though with seat is that the headrest is very hard to adjust; it is hard to find the right spot to adjust it and the harness does not tighten easily; it seems that the harness pads prevent the harness from tightening completely (I have to pull them down more to get it to tighten).

This car seat is worth the money. Fits my 4 year old great. Wish we would have known about it when she was born. Would have been the only seat we had to buy. I love that it doesn't have the annoying arm rest like the Britax we had. This seat is so streamline and I feel like my child is as secure as she can be in it. Will be carrying it on a plane trip to hawaii soon. Will get some use out of the backpack straps that came with it.

Great for extended rear facing& beyond but HEAVY!!!!
June 4, 2015
Pros: protection, comfort, ability to seat three across, fabric, and longevity. Our boys love the padded harness and complain much less and sleep better on long car rides. The low sides are handy for getting in and out of the seat. Cons: very very heavy. Tricky to learn how to install, esp rear facing. There's no way we would travel with two of these through an airport!!!
Best Uses:
Leave in car for extended rear facing, three across.

Quality car seat that allows for three kids in the back of a Hyundai Sonata. Two Diono radian RXTs and a Bumblebum booster in the middle between the two Dionos. I've only had Britax prior to this so reluctant, but very happy with the purchase.
Quality, sturdy and strong. Kids love the head wings to rest their heads on. Narrow profile. Strong harness clip. Fits great in the back of a Sonata forward-facing experience only.

A solid choice for a good price!
May 15, 2015
I've spent a lot of time researching carseats and had initially purchased a competitor's convertible which only went to 65 lbs, which I also love but needed another seat for a new baby. I decided this one would be a better choice for my older daughter because it would extend the amount of time she could rear face as well as be used up to 120 pounds as a booster. I also really loved the Spring design. It is a solid design with a steel frame. There are very few seats on the market with steel construction, and this is one of the best and the main reason I purchased it. I was able to score this one at a great price, and I am happy with the purchase. It is relatively easy to install albeit quite heavy due to the steel frame. My daughter doesn't seem to mind it rear facing at almost 2. I really like that the sides are lower than our other seat so it is easier for her to get herself in and out without me lifting her. My only complaint is the harness takes a little while to get the hang of but once I learned that you can tighten the harness significantly by tightening it before buckle the lower strap to get some slack out of it, it is much easier to tighten it. Overall, I am really happy with this model especially at the price.

Safest Convertible on the market!
April 30, 2015
I have had 3 of the these seats, and after having a car accident recently, (thankfully, no kids in the car), I repurchased this seat as a replacement because I trust its proven safety and durability for my kids. It's heavy, but incredibly well made and narrow enough to have three across in a midsize to large SUV (a definite perk). You won't be disappointed.
Safety rating, durability, narrower footprint for smaller vehicles.
A touch heavy, but pros outweigh the cons
Best Uses:
Can be used from birth until they size out of a carseat/booster.

I got this for my daughter because her car seat was too bulky in conjunction with her brother's rear facing seat. It took 5 minutes to install and it fit perfectly. She was so excited to sit in it! She is on the skinny side so we can use the body support still. It's also super easy to buckle her in. Well worth the money!

Good carseat, as described
April 16, 2015
This carseat was our 1st choice after weighing the few comparable Britax & Diono models. Due to the need to have two carseats next to one another in our older Audi Wagon, the smaller side-to-side dimensions and the safety ratings made this the only choice for us. We have our 8-yo in a Diono R100 and he still uses the 5-pt restraint (he's thin and tall) and the 18-mo old is rear-facing in the middle next to him. She is much more comfortable in this seat than her Britax 'baby bucket' and seems to enjoy it. This seat definitely made us move our front seats forward a bit, but once she is forward-facing, we can move them back the small amount.

April 9, 2015
I'm a mom of three, and I'm a bit of a car seat nut. My standards are super high. We've owned six Britax marathons that we loved, but when looking to replace them (as they had expired), I happened upon the Diono Radian RXT. After doing some research and checking out the reviews, we decided we should get one for our almost 3 yr old. We are SO happy that we did! Our son loves his "blue one car seat". He's super comfortable, and I love that it takes up less room in our van. The quality is great, and we are confident that he's super safe! As a former Britax believe, I have been converted. If I were going to have more kids, we'd buy even more. I'll definitely be recommending this seat to all of our friends!

This is the second one we bought in the past six months. Now we have one in each car. It is a bit heavy but it has a steel frame! It is well made.
Heavy duty. Safe.
Heavy and rear facing takes up a lot of front seat leg room. They do sell a pad that helps save some space.
Best Uses:
Forward facing and then booster.

Best seat, worth every penny!
March 26, 2015
I decided to get a seat for my baby that could be used from birth until booster seat. While the seat is spendy, it is worth it because this seat has safety ratings that exceed many other seats out there and you simply can't put a price on the safety of a child. Though the seat has yet to be used, I have it installed in my SUV in between two other seats just to see that it fits, and of course to have it ready when baby is born. I was very pleased at the ease of installation even though I was warned that getting the correct angle can be a bit difficult. We are not required with a LATCH restraint system, so I just used the middle seat's shoulder/lap belt and only had to redo it once. Very happy so far!!
Goes from birth to booster (120 lbs). Rear facing installation is fairly simple, and an angle adjuster is fairly cheap if needed.
Even though weight goes up to 120lbs, a child may outgrow the seat due to their height before they are ready to be out of a booster, so I may still need to purchase a booster, but not for a few years, so it's not too big of a deal.
Best Uses:
Narrow fit really does allow you to fit 3 seats across, even of different brands, in a mid size SUV. This is a huge help with only one child not in a seat/booster.

Best carseat I have ever owned
March 25, 2015
I love this car seat. It is so safe and so easy to use. It is slightly heavier than other car seats but I know it is made well and what is made with is going to protect my children. It is not hard to install and once it is in, it is not going anywhere. My kids love how comfortable the seat is and how easy it is for them to get in and out of it. They don't sit way up high off the seat like some other car seats are. My kids love being able to see out the window and be able to reach cup holders and things on the seat when they are in this seat.

i purchased this car seat because i would be able to read face my 16 month old for an extended amount of time and because of how narrow it is. I had read about how hard it was to get a good install, but I had no problem at all installing in it my Chevrolet traverse. I also purchased the angle adjuster when makes a huge difference in the amount of room it takes up! It's an awesome car seat!

This car seat is very compact. I've only used it for front facing, and it doesn't occupy too much space as my other car seat. The child also seats more upfront than the other car seat, which is more comfortable when the child is awake, but less so when he tries to sleep while sitting.

awesome for extended rear facing
September 22, 2014
Many people may not know, but it is recommended to seat your child rear facing as long as possible. The additional safety is astounding, and every parent should watch crash testing videos for car seats. It will make you think twice about turning your kids before four! That said, this is one of the only seats I found with such a high weight/height allowance for rear facing. It's also extremely sturdy and well made; I've been very impressed with the quality of the materials, etc. Additionally, it is one of the slimmest seats available and it's supposed to accommodate all ages. We haven't used it for an infant as we used a Graco snug ride 35 bucket seat (also highly recommend). Because it accommodates older children it is quite tall; this means a lot of real estate behind your front seats gets eaten up. I recommend the foam angle adjuster from diono to minimize this. We've had this behind the driver's side of a town and country minivan, which had more than ample room left up front. It's currently behind the driver's seat of an elantra touring (a compact hatch back) and I admit I'm short and my husband is 5'8" and there is *just* enough room for him. I would say that's the only downside. The seat is extremely easy to install and adjust and well worth the expense.

Veronica Mars Is Heading to 2013 Comic-Con! Fan Event Details
Yes, here's another reason to go to Comic-Con — or just another reason to be jealous of anyone who can go if you can't.
Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas shared more good news with his film backers, beyond the news that the Kickstarter campaign is over $5 million (!) at this point. He e-mailed (via E! News) that Veronica Mars is working on having an official San Diego Comic-Con panel, but at the very least there will be a special "Veronica Mars Fan Event."
"Even if we have an official panel at SDCC, we're planning to pull out all the stops for our own exclusive event, so this is the one you'll want to be at." He wrote that the event will take place "July 19, 2013 at 7:30 PM, in what I understand to be an intimate theatrical venue in the Gaslamp District, near the Convention Center." Several cast members will be there for a Q&A session and they'll show some exclusive footage from the new movie. According to E!, fans can donate $150 to secure the Comic-Con reward package.
It was recently revealed that Jason Dohring (Logan) had officially signed the movie cast, along with star Kristen Bell. As Rob e-mailed with that news, "Don't worry. We're busily working on bringing your favorites into the fold." According to the Kickstarter page, the movie will be shot over the summer with post-production in the fall and a projected release date of early 2014.

The non-observance of the principles of fiscal federalism in Nigeria as practised in the 1960s before military intervention that introduced a unitary system of government was yesterday identified as one of the challenges militating against the development of the Niger Delta region.
It was also said through deliberate or ignorant behaviour, the people of the region added to the slow development of the area because of the intermittent disruption of projects by the youths and excessive demands on contractors by communities and individuals which constituted serious problems in the implementation of projects that lead to outright stoppage of work or abandonment of project execution.
The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe, said this when he spoke on the paper titles: "The Challenges of Regional Development in Nigeria: A Case of the Niger Delta", which he delivered at the seventh Distinguished Faculty of Social Sciences Public Lecture Series of the University of Benin, Benin City yesterday.
He further noted that capacity of the local contractors also constitute a serious impediment in the implementation of projects and programmes in the region.
The minister said in the desire to empower local contractors and achieve the local content policy of the Federal Government, his ministry often as a deliberate policy, awarded contracts to the indigenes of the communities where projects were located only for such contracts to be abandoned.
According to him, "It is sad to note that most of such projects are either abandoned or poorly implemented. Equally sad is the fact that contractors with proven capacity that are not indigenes are often not allowed to implement projects and programmes in the region.
Another snag identified by the Niger Delta Affairs' Minister is the terrain of the region which he said makes infrastructural development a difficult task, pointing out that the average cost of road projects in the region cost three times more than it cost elsewhere in the country.
"Worst still, he said is that the advance technology which is often required for projects in the region is lacking.
Couple with this, Orubebe stated is that the financial resources required to develop the area is huge, while the funds being provided in the annual budget is grossly inadequate.
His words: "In particular, the funds being provided for my ministry is a far cry from what is needed to deliver our mandate."
He was therefore of the opinion that for meaningful development to occur in the Niger Delta region which has being the goose that lay the golden egg, the existing revenue formula needed to be adjusted to accommodate the expectations of the people both at the federal and state level.
"For regional development to thrive once again there is need for a review of the revenue allocation formula as well as both the exclusive and concurrent legislative lists of the 1999 constitution. The oil and gas rich Niger Delta region which is the focus of this paper comprises the states of Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Bayelsa, Edo, Cross-River, Delta, Edo, Imo, Ondo and Rivers.
"The region accounts for about 90 per cent of Nigeria's total earnings and over 80 per cent of its total revenue. In spite of its huge resource endowment, the Niger Delta region illustrates a paradox of poverty in the midst of abundant resources. It is common knowledge that this deplorable condition is characterised by low level of human development, measured in terms of maternal death, child mortality, a heavy disease burden, highly polluted environment, caused by oil spills, gas leak and gas flare, limited access to potable water, dilapidated schools, health facilities and deplorable communication networks especially in the water-logged areas that constitute more than one-half of the region's total landmass," Orubebe said.
Besides, the minister noted that the complex development issues and challenges in the region required concerted efforts of all stakeholders including the technical and financial support of the multi-lateral development agencies in the country as well as the private sector.
Earlier in his remark, the Vice-chancellor, University of Benin, Prof. Osayuki Oshodin said university annual lecture series are geared towards public education and enlightenment on social issues, cultural education, economic, scientific and developmental interests.
According to him, they are aimed at bringing town and gown together just like the university inaugural lecture series.
Meanwhile in his welcome address, the Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences, Prof. Charles Okorocha said the faculty's lecture series is an annual event which brings to focus topical issues in the socio-economic and political currents especially in Nigeria.
He said it was designed to ventilate the on-going concerns of the faculty as a vanguard in the analysis and understanding of social change in the country and beyond.

Accra — The resurgence in religious fundamentalism and the inordinate influence of certain church leaders over public health policy present major obstacles to the prevention of needless deaths and injuries of women from unsafe abortion on the African continent.
This was one of the issues discussed at a conference with the theme "Keeping our Promise. Addressing Unsafe Abortion in Africa", hosted Nov. 8-11 by Ipas with the support of Ghana's health ministry in Accra. Ipas is a global, non-profit organisation promoting women's exercise of sexual and reproductive rights.
More than 230 delegates, including cabinet ministers, parliamentarians and healthcare providers from 20 African countries, attended the conference.
Globally, 13 percent of maternal mortality is due to unsafe abortions. In Africa the average figure is one in seven maternal deaths but in some countries, such as Nigeria and Kenya, as much as 30-40 percent of maternal deaths are due to unsafe abortion.
More than half of the 67,000 women in the world that die each year from unsafe abortion are from Africa.
Even in countries such as Zambia and Ghana where laws allow access to abortion under certain circumstances, such as rape, incest and where pregnancy threatens the life or health of a woman, these laws are not being applied.
The non-implementation of existing laws is partly due to ignorance and prejudice among healthcare personnel and law enforcement officials and partly due to the negative influence of certain religious leaders, delegates at the conference heard.
"What we are seeing is an imposition of personal beliefs rather than people working towards the greater good of society," says Dr Eunice Brookman-Amissah, Ipas vice-president for Africa and a former health minister in Ghana. It forms part of "the resurgence in religious fundamentalism".
Ipas country director for Ghana, Dr Koma Jehu-Appiah, adds that, "Ghanaians tend to confuse religion with everything. Abortion is stigmatised as sinful. But you cannot use religion to solve public health problems."
Attempts to liberalise restrictive penal codes inherited from colonial administrations have been circumvented by anti-abortion churches. In some African countries churches have a "stranglehold" on policymakers, according to Brookman-Amissah.
She cites the example of a Kenyan minister of health who announced that post-abortion care would be introduced to address the prevalence of death and injury. The Catholic Church attacked the minister publicly and her political fate was "sealed".
The Catholic Church also opposes the use of contraceptives, which means "women are totally boxed in". They have no other option but to risk their lives with unsafe abortion.
"This is a human problem. The church should come with a solution rather than just saying 'no, no'," insists Brookman-Amissah.
Similarly, in Nigeria the Catholic Church thwarted an attempt a few years ago to pass a law to create a reproductive health institute to do research, according to Dr Ejike Oji, Ipas Nigeria country director.
The Catholic Church misrepresented the draft law by calling it an "abortion bill" even though it did not contain any reference to abortion. A parliamentarian who was Catholic sabotaged parliamentary processes to ensure that the bill was rejected before stakeholders could adequately inform themselves.
In the Nigerian state of Imo an attempt to introduce safe abortion services for victims of incest and rape was blocked. Women who supported the bill were physically denied access to the legislature, Oji told IPS.
Now, a campaign is underway in Nigeria to change the law to withhold abortion even when the woman's life is in danger – the only condition under which it is still allowed.
The Ugandan Joint Christian Council and the Nigerian Christian Coalition are aggressively lobbying their governments over the 2003 Maputo Protocol, which establishes the right to safe abortion in cases of rape, incest and where the mental and physical health of the woman is endangered.
These two bodies allege that the clause on abortion is a "Western import" despite it being drafted by Africans, according to Njoki Ndungu, director of the Centre for Legal Information and Communication in Kenya. The non-profit centre promotes humanrights.
Rather, Brookman-Amissah argues, much of the anti-choice activity springs from a "Western drive" externally funded and guided by especially U.S.-based fundamentalist Christian groups or individuals. One such group is Human Life International.
U.S. Republican Congress representative Chris Smith recently visited Nigeria and drafted a letter with local Christian fundamentalists attacking the Maputo Protocol.
Brookman-Amissah points out that, it "is not American women who are dying. This campaign is causing the deaths of African women."
When the Ethiopian government amended its criminal code pertaining to abortion, an evangelical U.S.-based organisation provided graphic abortion videos for parliamentarians, says Dr Haile Gebreselassie, Ethiopian-based senior research and evaluation associate for Ipas.
Annie Nturubika, coordinator of the SOS Femme et Enfant Catastrophe (SOSFEC) based in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), says that church leaders in the eastern DRC still block access to abortion as they seem to think they "are holier than the Holy Spirit".
This is despite local women traumatised by rape being unable to afford the exorbitant 200 to 250 dollars charged for abortion, which is allowed in cases of rape. When local women found out about much cheaper, non-surgical medical abortion, they "were delighted", according to Nturubika.

As I read more and more ride reports, it seems to me I find more people riding on machines that are sub 700cc in size...especially world travelers and those who are traveling solo...
the trend towards smaller bikes among RTW travelers is not new ... and the fact is much smaller bikes than 700cc ones have been in play for years. More and more guys riding 250's, some bought locally, some bought "In Country" somewhere as Indian and Chinese bikes are endemic throughout the "3rd World". And how many riding buddies or ADV members have cashed in the R1200GS for a DR650, KLR, DRZ400, WR250 ... or some other Anvil reliable generic Jap bike?

I think you're doing the right thing. Do the best you can ... but your 690 will never be an 1150GS on a 12 hour day running 90 mph carrying 150 lbs. of gear.
As you travel more I'm guessing you'll fine tune and alter your desires for bikes and travel style. Clearly, if doing more off road and exploring in the 3rd world ... the 690 is good.
I would look at what successful RTW riders are riding ... copy them!
Or just take off ... see how you do! Once out of the USA I have a feeling you're priorities will change ... and your race bike may start seeming a little ridiculous for where your going, your pace and conditions your riding in. When a local on a 125 in Flip Flop passes you in a mud rut ... well, then you know your bike is too big! (been there, had that exact thing happen!

This film chronicles the vaulted highs and the crushing lows of this Tennessean commercial artist as he struggles to find peace and balance between his work and his art.

"A real addition to the body of world mythology."—American Anthropologist
"No people has contributed more to the culture of mankind than the Sumerians, and yet it has been only in recent years that our knowledge of them has become at all accurate or extensive. [This book is] our first authoritative sketch of the great myths of the Sumerians, their myths of origins, of creation, the nether world, and the deluge. The book . . . makes entrancing reading and for the general reader it opens up a whole new vista undreamed of before."—Theophile J. Meek

Nicholas Kirkwood Awarded BFC/Vogue Prize
Nicholas Kirkwood is the winner of the fourth BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund prize. He received a prize is 200,000 pounds of funding help toward his label's growth, as well as mentorship in helping him reach his business goals. Kirkwood beat out other designers including Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto, Emilia Wickstead and Roksanda Ilincic.
British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman and British Fashion Council chairman Natalie Massenet cohosted the event at Nobu Berkeley in London's Mayfair. "It's particularly exciting to be here tonight knowing that the recipient of the second BFC/Vogue designer fund award, Christopher Kane, has now got the support of the big international PPR conglomerate," said Shulman in her speech. "The winner we ultimately chose was because we were impressed by how they had developed their business along with turning beautiful designs into a brand identity that is already admired worldwide and which has potential for growth."
Chief executive officer of the BFC, Caroline Rush, added, "The caliber of applications in the short list were second to none, all of the designers proved that they are at a very crucial stage in their business when the fund could deliver a real opportunity to accelerate growth. However, Nicholas' application provided a clear and compelling case for how both funding and targeted mentoring would be used to assist him in taking the next steps in developing a global brand."

Hello all,
I dont know javascript so I download all the dynamic content for my sites.
On my own website I have a list of services and I got some code so that when the user clicks one of the services more information appears. I have a little plus sign beside each service and I want it to turn into a minus sign that I have as an image. How can I do this ?
Heres a link to the page.
Thanks alot,
Have a look at this – You could probably manipulate it to get the effect you would like: http://css-tricks.com/examples/jQueryFAQ/
jamy_za, I already have something similar to this. Click the link I gave. I want something to make the plus image change when clicked. Note that I only have the "Websites in XHTML and HTML5″ set up to do this.
@michaeloneill the link you gave doesn't load. I get this error: Content Encoding Error
jamy_za – The link should work fine now :)
You can use jquery and change the src attribute:
$('#plus-symbol-button).click(function() {
$(this).attr('src', 'images/minus-symbol.png');
Something like that should work.
$('#plus-symbol-button).click(function() {
$(this).attr('src', 'images/minus-symbol.png');
Something like that should work.
Something like that should work.
@johnnyb I have put that code onto the page making the necessary changes… However it still wont work! :L Check out the link http://michaeloneilldesign.com/new/services.html
I think you may need to include the switch within your showslidingdiv function.

How Megan Fox Lost More Than Half Her Baby Weight Without Hitting the Gym
Add another item to that long list of reasons to be insanely jealous of Megan Fox. The actress recently admitted to Us Weekly that she lost over half of her baby weight already — without even going to the gym.
The magazine reports that Megan has lost 13 of the 23 pounds she gained while pregnant with her first son, Noah, who was born on Sept. 27, but she didn't shed the weight by working out.
"I can't work out yet because my body is still too fragile," the actress, who is also stepmom to husband Brian Austin Green's 10-year-old son, said earlier this month. "I try to eat whatever I want, but I don't eat any dairy, and I guess that's the biggest diet tip. Try and stay away from dairy — especially if you're a woman! It's really hard on your hormones."
The This Is 40 star says she's really enjoying parenting to the fullest, especially with the help of her hubby.
"He does anything that I can't do at the moment because I'm too tired," Megan said of Brian. "Whatever's going on, he does. He's with the baby right now. He's the perfect daddy."

Kissell Defeated in Consolation Semis at Riviera/ITA
Oct. 7, 2012
PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. – NC State junior and 19th-ranked Joelle Kissell's run through the main draw's consolation bracket at the 2012 Riviera/ITA All-American Championships came to an end on Saturday, as she fell in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, to Alabama's 10th-ranked Mary Anne Macfarlane.
Kissell fell in the first round of the main draw on Thursday, but carried a little momentum into the consolation bracket after advancing via walkover in the back draw's first round, before upending Texas A&M's 17th-ranked Cristina Stancu in three sets in Friday's consolation quarterfinal. Unfortunately, Macfarlane denied Kissell's attempt to earn a spot in the consolation championship on Saturday evening, and ended her journey in the prestigious tournament.
The Hostetter, Pa., native will return to Raleigh, N.C., and prepare for her next competition this fall, which will likely be at ITA Regionals, Oct. 18-20, in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Cup-and-ball is a noble sport with tournaments and championships like any other sport. Although not everyone sees it like that. To put it nicely, the All Stars, led by Striker, used to say it wasn't an exactly "manly" activity. But they've had to change their mind about that, ever since Quinn wiped out a couple of guys by whacking them over the head with his balls.

Condensation is caused by an imbalance of airflow, heating and ventilation resulting in a rise in relative humidity within the atmosphere of a property. The build up of water vapour can come from normal household activities such as drying wet clothes on radiators, using a tumble dryer, cooking and of course breathing.
An average family of 4 can produce up to 16 pints of water per day.
As warm air hits a cold surface such as a wall or window, the resulting cooled air is no longer able to retain its moisture. The moisture the air can no longer hold is released and is deposited in the form of tiny water droplets onto cold surfaces within the property as condensation.
Where does condensation appear?
It appears at any height, on any floor of a property, on cold surfaces (windows and north facing walls) and where there is little movement of air most commonly corners and behind furniture and in rooms which generate a lot of moisture such as bathrooms and kitchens. This distinguishes it from rising damp which only occurs in walls in contact with the ground to a height of usually not more than 1.2 metres over external ground level.
When is condensation most common?
It is most common in the colder months of the year when the heating is turned on and windows are kept shut as this creates less ventilation in a property so keeping air and moisture trapped in the property.
Why does condensation need to be kept to a minimum?
Left untreated in a property, condensation and the increased moisture it creates will undoubtedly lead to a range of problems. In its less serious form, condensation may "steam up" windows and mirrors. In more severe cases, it can be absorbed by surface wall finishes, underlying plaster and timber. It will also provide the ideal conditions for infestation of various types of wood boring beetle and dry and wet rot outbreaks which will attack timbers so weakening them and leading to extensive damage if not treated properly.
What are the signs of condensation?
- Black mould on walls, ceilings, behind furniture
- Streaming wet windows
- Damp & musty smell
- Walls damp to the touch
- Crumbling plaster, peeling wallpaper
- Mildew on fabric and leather
- Possible worsening of respiratory problems for property occupants
- Timber decay and beetle infestation
If you think condensation is affecting your property and you need further advice on the solutions available please contact a member of our team on:
