Barratt Developments has specified an innovative low carbon ventilation system from leading manufacturer EnviroVent for its flagship zero carbon home, known as ‘Z House’.

Mould prevention is easier than cure in rental properties; limiting the quantity of mould and mildew that may grow makes clean-up easier and less expensive.

Condensation in your home may cause thousands of pounds of damage to walls, windows, curtains, carpets, and furniture if left unchecked.

Do you have dripping windows or, worse, dripping walls? Have you seen black mould growing around your window frames and on your walls? These are the tell-tale indicators that your house might be suffering from condensation.

While different forms of damp may seem similar in your house, knowing how to distinguish between them is critical if you want to solve the problem.

A dehumidifier may help in the short term, but there are multiple reasons why you should not rely on them to solve your condensation problems.

A recent survey found that 1 in 5 households suffered from problems with mould, damp and condensation in their homes as a result of poor air quality.

Improved ventilation in a building helps to keep the levels of chemicals and moisture under control and ensures that your home has good airflow.

Did you know that according to research carried out among home buyers, the presence of mould would put 44% of people off buying or renting a home.
