How to stop condensation. Do you have a condensation problem in the kitchen, bathroom or one of your bedrooms? You’ve been cleaning it away and painting over it, but it still comes back. Condensation can be an eyesore and can make your home smell musty and damp.

We have a condensation solution for you. We are condensation experts and can provide you with expert knowledge and advice to get rid of condensation for good.

Firstly what is condensation?

Condensation is where warm moist air comes in contact with a cold surface. The warm air condenses on that cold surface and turns into water droplets. If this water is not wiped away and just left there, it will eventually turn into black mould.

To help prevent condensation we use an internal insulation system.

Our “condensation prevention system” is an internal insulating system for walls suffering from condensation. This system allows walls with condensation to be insulated without costly alterations to skirting boards, windows, covings and radiators.

The insulating boards are only 12mm thick. These boards can typically improve the thermal resistance of solid brick walls by 40-45%. By changing the temperature of the walls suffering from condensation, in many cases, this is enough to prevent condensation. This condensation system also creates a more comfortable living environment and reducing energy bills.

Installation

Insulating boards are installed over the affected plaster and retain the character of your property. The flexible boards allow walls with awkward shapes and curves to be insulated. The boards can then be plastered using various base coat plasters to increase impact resistance or simply skimmed over.

Insulating a cold wall with our system can make an immediate difference. That unwelcoming room that smells of damp will be transformed into an inviting warm and cosy room. A warm room reduces the risk of that unsightly mould caused by condensation.

Along with insulating cold surfaces. To control condensation in a property you will need to install humidistat air vents in all the high humidity areas, places like the kitchen and bathroom.

Installing a fan in the bathroom and kitchen will prevent the humidity that is created when taking a shower from flowing around the property.

So to stop condensation occurring in your home you will need to install humidistat fans in the kitchens and bathrooms. Insulate cold outside walls. We also recommend opening windows and doors whilst drying clothes.
