Moisture Management for Healthy Buildings
Moisture management is crucial for healthy buildings because it directly impacts structural integrity, indoor air quality, and occupant health.
Condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with cooler surfaces, leading to water vapour turning into liquid water. Condensation can promote mould growth and cause structural damage. Proper insulation, vapour barriers, and adequate ventilation help prevent condensation from occurring.
Maintaining optimal relative humidity levels (typically between 30% and 60%) is essential for occupant comfort and health. High humidity levels can foster mould and mildew growth, while low humidity can lead to discomfort and respiratory issues. HVAC systems, dehumidifiers, and moisture-absorbing materials help regulate indoor humidity levels.
Activities such as cooking, bathing, and laundry generate moisture indoors. Proper ventilation in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry areas helps remove excess moisture and prevent it from accumulating in the building.
Regular inspection and maintenance of building systems, including HVAC, plumbing, and roofing, are essential for identifying and addressing moisture-related problems promptly. Monitoring indoor humidity levels and moisture content in building materials helps ensure that moisture levels remain within acceptable limits.

The problems our products solve
Excess moisture can lead to damp conditions that promote the growth of mould, mildew, and bacteria. Mould, in particular is a serious issue that affects both health and property. It thrives in damp, poorly ventilated areas, causing respiratory problems, allergies, and worsening conditions like asthma. Prolonged exposure can lead to persistent coughing, skin irritation, and weakened immunity, particularly in children and the elderly. Beyond health risks, mould damages walls, ceilings, furniture, and fabrics, leading to staining, decay, and unpleasant odours. Common causes include condensation, leaks, poor insulation, and high humidity, making bathrooms, kitchens, and poorly ventilated rooms particularly vulnerable.
Preventing mould requires good ventilation, reducing humidity, and addressing leaks quickly. Simple measures like opening windows, using extractor fans, and investing in dehumidifiers can help. Regular cleaning with anti-mould solutions prevents regrowth, while mould-resistant paints offer longer-term protection. If mould has spread extensively, professional removal may be necessary to eliminate spores completely. Tackling mould early keeps your home safe, fresh, and structurally sound, ensuring a healthier environment for everyone.
