    Posted By: WillInAberdeenFortunately the foggy air isn't any wetter than normal, just colder, so it isn't bringing any extra moisture into the indoors.

    Oh I see. Thanks for that tidbit!

    It is easily evaporated by warming up the air again by a few degrees above sea temperature, so once it's at indoor temperatures it doesn't make things damp. Is this what you are finding, or is it different that far south

    Yes except we don't have any heating, haha. Except for a portable radiator. We haven't quite decided on best approach to heating yet. I want to see how this winter goes with the new windows.

    This issue with the fog would be eliminated with whole house with heat recovery. Hmmm.

    We have fires over here at the moment in Portugal and I've had to close all windows tight.

    I still haven't installed trickle vents yet and now I'm wondering if there's such a thing as a trickle vent that will filter out smoke?

    Smoke filters use a combination of a HEPA filter and activated carbon filter. I doubt you'll find one as a trickle vent but who knows?

    Found this Polish company that make one that can filter out 99% of PM10 and up to 80% of PM2.5

    Surface mounted one here:

    And one that goes over the window head here:
    https://brevis-ventilation.com/seria/insolio-en/

    About 40-50 quid each I think.

    Filter types here:

    So £100 a year if you replace them every six months as they say. The Urbino Select looks to have an activated carbon layer, which is what you need for odour removal. Performance isn't HEPA but not too bad. Remarkable for such a thin filter.
