Condensation can cause a number of health issues in the home.
As the colder weather begins to set in, chill winds can escape into your home and create condensation, which can cause damp and mould within the home.
“Some signs to look for include water tide marks on the windows and walls, which will stream, causing deterioration of decoration, discolouring of window frames and eventually - growth of black mould. All of these are a result of poor ventilation and air circulation.” "This allows the humid air to be released to outside and will stop the collection of condensation vapour on the cold windows and walls."
Mark warned: “Energy bills are always one of a homeowner's biggest outgoings during the winter months, and whilst the above advice can contribute to higher energy usage, causing damage to your home with damp will cost you a lot more in the long run.” Mark warned: “Having your central heating on throughout the winter can cause condensation if ventilation is poor. Whilst most people tend to close their windows when the heating is on, this isn’t always ideal. A free flow of air is crucial.
The bricks are traditionally made from clay, but are more commonly made of plastic now. Plastic bricks allow better airflow, and are less easily broken. This means that they will last longer, and prevent damp and moisture from damaging the floorboards.
