Do you need to vent about the amount of condensation that menacingly gathers on your windows or do you find yourself ranting about the eye-sore black mould and unattractive damp that plagues your home's walls? We don't blame you!

Your home is your sanctuary, and should be a comfortable, cosy haven you retire to and relax in after a long day. However, with homeowners in Britain becoming more and more energy conscious, many households have taken steps to become more energy efficient and save energy. These steps include blocking  chimneys, insulating the walls, draught proofing, installing double glazed windows and gradually sealing our properties from an essential supply of fresh air. These keep homes at a comfortable, warm temperature meaning we don't have to crank up the heating but it does limit the influx of fresh air, and it's this block on the flow of new clean air that causes damp, mould and condensation.

 

Why does condensation form? 

Condensation forms when there's too much moisture in the air, most of which is naturally generated from boiling kettles, taking baths and showers, drying clothes and cooking and other day-to-day activities. 'Back in the day' a.k.a in times pre-dating double glazing and wall and loft insulation, this humid air would simply drift out through poorly fitted doors, windows and other exit routes. With these now being generally sealed to prevent draughts and to aid homes in becoming more energy efficient, this moist air has no where to go.

Instead, the damp, warm air forms droplets on windows and walls because  as the temperature of the indoor air drops- at night for example- the humid air reaches a stage where it can't support the moisture we create during our home lives any longer so it moves to the surfaces in the property where temperatures are lowest (walls and windows). Whoa-la condensation is formed!

If left untreated for a long period of time, condensation can escalate into damp patches on your walls that causes your wallpaper to peel and, at it's worst ugly black mould growth.

There are also many health implications with allowing condensation, poor indoor air quality, damp and mould to progress. Mould can result in symptoms such as sickness, tiredness, breathing problems and headaches. It has also being a recognised allergen and irritant, and an identified  trigger for respiratory problems such as Asthma. Moist warm atmospheres can be the ideal prime conditions for household dust mite to breed, causing further allergies to manifest in the property's occupants.
