I had an inquiry today about dark lines showing up along roof trusses in a cathedral ceiling. Cathedral ceilings do not have insulation between the truss and the ceiling drywall, so that drywall is cooler than the surrounding (insulated) drywall. Our energy efficient houses trap moisture from cooking, washing etc. and that moisture is attracted to cool spots like windows and yes...where the truss meets the drywall. If you are battling frost and ice build up on windows and st...arting to see a color change in your ceiling in perfect straight lines, here's some tips: Keep your window coverings open during the sunniest part of the day. Get some air circulation with ceiling fans and use your air exchanger. Always use the bathroom fans when bathing and showering and always use your range hood fan when cooking. A dehumidifier may help, but remember that the humidity is usually low this time of year except when you're showering and cooking and if your humidity is too low other times, you may cause wood floors to crack or separate. And if you already have darkened lines on your ceiling, consider using a mold and mildew resistant sealant (like KILZ) and then repainting the ceiling. See more
