Why is there condensation on my skylight?

Condensation is usually more noticeable on skylights because warm, moist air rises to the ceiling. The problem, however, usually isn’t the skylight. It’s the excess moisture in the room. Condensation is more prevalent in new homes. After a few years, new homes tend to dry out and have fewer moisture problems. Eliminating excess moisture by using a dehumidifier and providing adequate ventilation and air circulation will go a long way in preventing condensation.
