Professional Condensation Specialists South England
Condensation is a major problem for the majority of homes around the UK. If your home is not ventilated properly and efficiently then you are likely to experience condensation dampness in your walls. Once condensation has set in you will have stained and discoloured wall paper which will lead to mould growth and damages. This can also lead to clothes, wallpapers, window frames, furniture and any surface that is cold for a long period of time.
It is important to deal with condensation as soon as possible as the mould spores can get into the air supply and cause damage to your health. If the temperature of the air is high it has the ability to hold more moisture leading to a higher chance of condensation occurring. The moisture droplets occur when the surface it comes into contact with is cooler meaning it can no longer hold it in the air.
Common Areas For Condensation
The most common areas for condensation to occur is in rooms where a large amount of moisture is produced anyway usually bathrooms and kitchens. Quite often the water in the air soaks into the walls but in some cases you can see the droplets on the surface. The areas where condensation is most seen is:
Mirrors
Cold surfaces
Single glazed windows
Metal window frames
Kitchens
Bathrooms
Cold corners
Unheated rooms
Wardrobes and cupboards on outside walls
There are simple solutions to dealing with condensation. Our team work with you to go through the right procedures to make sure that you can get rid of the condensation and make sure it never occurs again. You can follow simple steps to make sure you are not creating extra moisture in the air.
Steps For Less Condensation
These are:
- Keeping lids on pans when cooking
- Tumble driers should have a vent outside
- Avoid using bottled gas and paraffin heaters
- Only dry washing outside if possible
Another simple step is to open windows when using the kitchen and bathroom so the moisture can escape through the window instead of hovering in the air in the room. The increased ventilation is a great idea for decreasing the moisture in the air and is the main reason why houses are being built with ventilation systems already installed that are either trickle ventilators or extractor fans.
Your heating can often become a problem for condensation because if you are not warming your home enough then you are creating cold surfaces for the moisture to settle on with ease. We advise keeping the room temperature to at least 15 degrees to avoid condensation occurring in common areas. You can also get installation extras that will keep the surfaces warm so that you don’t need to heat them as much as you normally would. This can save you money for repairs in the long run as you will not have a problem with condensation.
