Condensation

Condensation has become a serious issue in recent years with greater levels of insulation incorporated in new build housing both raising the average ambient temperature and reducing the exchange of air with the outside. Siteseal supply and fit a range of room ventilators which are energy efficient, quiet and effective.

Condensation is caused by water being deposited on cool surfaces with black mould growth then growing in the areas of dampness. In more extreme cases pooling of water can appear on floors, sills and furniture.

The problem of condensation and mould growth often occurs at low levels where the surface of the wall is coolest, often starting in a corner and travelling along the length of the wall. This spread of damp can often be confused with rising damp and householders frequently find it hard to believe that condensation can cause such severe damp problems.
