Ventilation: Essential for a Healthy and Dry Home

Why is Ventilation Important?

Proper ventilation is crucial in maintaining a healthy and comfortable living environment. It helps control moisture levels, improves indoor air quality, and prevents the buildup of pollutants. Adequate ventilation is especially important in areas prone to damp, as it helps prevent mold and mildew growth, which can lead to structural damage and health issues.

Types of Ventilation Systems

  1. Natural Ventilation:
    • Relies on natural air movement through windows, doors, vents, and other openings.
    • Simple and cost-effective but may not provide consistent airflow.
  1. Mechanical Ventilation:
    • Utilizes fans and duct systems to control and circulate air.
    • Can be customized to ensure optimal airflow and humidity control.
  1. Mixed-Mode Ventilation:
    • Combines natural and mechanical ventilation systems to optimize air quality and energy efficiency.
    • Allows for flexibility based on weather conditions and specific needs of the building.

Humidistat fans

A humidistat has a automatic switch which controls the fan depending on the amount of moisture in the air. If there’s a lot of moisture, it turns the fan on. When the humidity level is reduced, it switches the fan off.

PIV units

Positive input ventilation (PIV) is a method of ventilation used to improve the house’s air quality. This device uses a fan to push out moist and stagnant air while replacing it with fresh, filtered and dry air. As a result, ventilation is improved around your home, thus curbing breathing problems and preventing property damage. Currently, over 1 million homes in the UK are fitted with PIV units! Some PIV units come with the option of warming the air as it is blown into the home. Because of this, you benefit from a warmer home as well as a dry one.
