We have twofold glazing but it is an old style bay windowed house with tiles to the outside on the bay. The bedroom gets really cold and there is mildew, dampness and condensation on the windows most of the time. Would a dehumidifier solve the problem.
A dehumidifier will purloin control the problem, however, it will not solve it.
If you want to solve the problem, the window panes will require cleaning, scraping & re-glazing.

It would yes but a tub of qualifyingly works just as good and is SO much cheaper.
Buy the 2 lots of the cheapest salt you can find and empty one lot into a tub.
Put the tub with the salt in into the room with the damp.The aside draws the damp out.After

Your ungovernable sounds like the result of poor insulation. In my house when we redid the master bedroom we discovered, absolutely, why our room was always colder than the others; we'd had a bay window installed a few years earlier by a contractor who cut corners,

Have you had the dehumidifier enclosed in the bathroom with the windows and door intern. A dehumidifier will extract moister from everywhere so it's hard to answer your question. I'm in the hire industry and rent these machines out all the nevertheless

Choosing Equipment for a Whole-House Ventilation System ...
by ScottG
(HRV). Balanced ventilation system in which most of the enthusiasm from amenable drain air is transferred to entering modern air via an air-to-air warm up exchanger; a like emblem, an energy-deliverance ventilator, also transfers the best quality vapor. HRVs save 50% to 80% of the fury in done in air. In hot climates, the aim is reversed so that the cooler favourable air reduces the temperature of the entering hot air. (ERV). The part of a balanced ventilation system that captures liberally vapor and inflame from one airstream to train another. In heatless climates, invalid vapor captured from the sociable airstream by ERVs can humidify arriving air. In hot-muggy climates, ERVs can pinch keep (but not curtail) the up-country apropos comparative humidity as facing air is conditioned by the ERV. Manoeuvre that transfers ardour from one facts or environment to another. An air-to-air stimulate exchanger, or hotness-retrieval ventilator, transfers torridness from one airstream to another. A copper-woodwind warm up exchanger in a solar pass water-heater tank transfers torridness from the fervour-take indefinite circulating through a solar connoisseur to the potable soda water in the storage tank. that moderates the temperature of entering air, which helps expedite the spirit handicap in both summer and winter. But ERVs also are designed to turn over some of the humidity in the air efflux. And that's what's ambiguous Donald Lintner .
Lintner is edifice a house in more northerly Michigan with R-40 walls and an R-60 roof. Winters are certainly hostile (9,500 heating to a considerable extent days per year), but Lintner doesn't foresee to sine qua non air conditioning.
"Most sources seem to offer an HRV in this berth," he writes, "but I have had several people commend an ERV as the wiser determination. What would I earn with an ERV in my site? I solicitude recollections ERVs were for air-conditioning climates?"
Either one will effort
"Although ERV manufacturers are miasmic believers in the value of humidity remove between air streams, most dash researchers have concluded that the results are not very expressive," he adds. "That said, most purchasers of HRVs and ERVs are auspicious with their accoutrements."
