Hi Paul, depending on the age of the UPVC door the glass can come out and new seals can be put in, glass put back in and beads put back on. If it's a really old UPVC door then probably best to change it as the new UPVC doors are very water tight. Yes all new UPVC doors and windows should have a trickle vent to allow a small amount of air flow and prevent condensation. Without looking thats my advice. Many thanks matt

Привет, Пол, в зависимости от возраста двери из ПВХ, стекло может выйти, и новые уплотнения могут быть вставлены, стекло обратно вставлены и бусины снова надены. Если это действительно старая дверь из ПВХ, то, вероятно, лучше всего изменить ее, так как новые двери из ПВХ очень водонепроницаемы. Да, все новые двери и окна из ПВХ должны иметь вентиляционное отверстие, чтобы обеспечить небольшое количество воздушного потока и предотвратить конденсацию. Не глядя, это мой совет. Большое спасибо, Мэтт"

Depending on how old the door is you may need to change it or just renew the seals

Said · Answer

Dear Paul,
It is all depend on the aged of the door if you need to change the door or not. Two things you need to do ;
1- the door must have vent if not you need to fit a new vent and more often open doors and windows for extra ventilations. (ventilations is the key answer for damp)
2- Under the door you you need to make sure will be no water egressed from underneath and make it is water tight.

Eddie · Answer

If you are getting damp at the side and underneath the door yoy could try re sealing the door. Is there adequate ventilation in the kitchen as that could also be an issue. If you replaced the door you can get vents in it.
