Product Information

If you have condensation on the inside of your windows, it means there’s too much humidity in the room, and little to no air circulation.

Condensation has caused the wallpaper to peel off this wall, and mildew is growing on the paper causing discolouration Practical Tips to Stop Condensation CDM Condensation Strip (M14) – For collecting condensation into the CDM BaseDrain and not on internal finishes Moisture Indicator Paper undergoes a distinctive colour change from yellow/green to colourless and is free from toxic substances and carcinogens. Activated charcoal is an incredibly popular, versatile product and customers worldwide can’t seem to get enough of it. In fact, items such as the MAI purifying bags are being sold by the thousands. Since they’re organic, reusable, and effective, it’s no wonder why so many people use them to keep the air in their homes fresh and odor-free. Anti-condensation paints inhibit condensation by absorbing moisture and improving insulation. Most of the time they also contain a biocide to protect the paint in the can against mould growth. Anti-Condensation WallpaperUse a low-cost digital Hygrometer to help you keep your humidity between 55-65% this is the best environment for comfortable living. Don’t forget you can use memory setting to monitor levels of relative humidity in your building throughout the day. because most people decide to constantly wipe their windows and ventilate their rooms by opening their windows and doors repeatedly for short time periods. Not only is this a lot of hassle, but it also means they have to reheat their rooms over and over, again raising their heating costs! A health hazard

Sash windows were designed to allow for the bottom and top to be opened that would draw air in and out providing effective ventilation.You’ll commonly see this in kitchens and bathrooms, where humidity levels are naturally higher than in other parts of your home. This window in Bath, Somerset in the image below was in a house we were called to a few years ago, it was fitted with metal windows which are notorious for condensation, and you can see what happened to the paintwork! If this hasn’t removed all the flaking material then rub the area down with fine sandpaper so that you have a smooth sound surface.

The warm air people breathe out while sleeping increases humidity. There's nowhere for the moist air to go when windows are closed, so it turns into condensation. Opening the window allows the warm air to escape instead. Preventing condensation forming in the first place is the easiest solution, but in this section we run through other treatments if damage has already occurred. Double glazing costs can mount up if you don't deal with condensation, which can be caused by a number of factors. For areas which are not subject to abrasion and washing such as ceilings, the underside of roofing sheets, steel building frames, pipework and ducting, and the inside of cupboards, you can use an anti-condensation paint. As its name suggests, Hysure is portable; you can take it anywhere with you, from your home to your office. However, the best feature isn’t its portability, but its power. A single unit can collect up to 750ml of water per day at 80℃. In addition, its water tank has a capacity of 2000ml, so you can empty it once every two days.Newton Condensation Strip is an optional component to the Newton System 500 cavity drain waterproofing system. It is designed to deal with any condensation that may occur on the surface of the waterproofing membrane. Using Newton condensation strips

Cold spots are building defects and may indicate failing wall ties, so use an infra-red Thermometer to find any cold spots, as well as badly insulated and damp areas. Another area that you often see this happening is on bathroom pipes and toilet cisterns – we look at how to avoid this in more detail further on in this project under ‘Best advice for Fixing Condensation problems’. Answer – The interior surface of external walls tends to be the coolest surface in the room, so they naturally attract condensation. Next, the mini dehumidifier only needs recharging once every 20-30 days. During that time, it can cover an area of up to 333 cubic feet. That’s a lot of space for such a tiny device.CDM MultiPlug (A1)– For securing Newton System 500 membranes to the wall and for providing a fixing point for 5mm screws and the CDM Helical MultiPlug Tie If the problem is diagnosed as penetrating damp then you will need to look at damp proofing before you try to treat symptoms such as efflorescence and mould. Answer – See the answers above. If you live in a house without a damp proof course, or if you think your damp proof cause is damaged or compromised, then it could be rising damp and you can find out more in our project on rising damp. If you live in a modern house or a flat above the ground floor it is most unlikely to be rising damp and you should keep reading to find out how to be sure you have condensation not rising damp or a leak. Incorporate Anti Mould Concentrated Additive to all paints that you use (unless you are using Anti-Mould Paints). A Positive Input Ventilation System (PIV) closes the loop of airflow by controlling and filtering the air that is drawn into the building to replace the humid air that is removed by the extractor fan. A Positive Input Ventilation is a whole house ventilation system that improves air quality in all rooms.'
