Why Condensation and Mould Occur
The Science Behind Condensation
Condensation occurs when there is warm, moist air that hits cold surfaces such as windows, walls, and ceilings. Normal daily habits, such as cooking, showering, and drying clothes indoors, result in extra moisture. In the absence of a suitable Condensation Ventilation System, moisture accumulates and becomes damp.
How Mould Thrives
Mould grows well if there is moisture and some food source – wallpaper or wood for example. Once condensation persists in surfaces, there is the opportunity for mould growth. An Anti Condensation Unit becomes important here to break that cycle of dampness and its consequent growth of moulds.

The Hidden Dangers of Condensation and Mould
Health Risks: Mould can cause respiratory issues, allergies, and skin irritation in children and the elderly.
Property Damage: Dampness can weaken walls, ceilings, and wooden structures, causing long term damage.
Decreased Property Value: Condensation and mould in houses are difficult to sell or rent and lower the market value of a property.
Addressing these issues with solutions like PIV Units for Mould can prevent such costly and harmful outcomes.

How Positive Input Ventilation Solves Condensation and Mould
What is Positive Input Ventilation?
A Positive Input Ventilation System for Mould is a revolution for homes dealing with damp and mould. The system introduces fresh, filtered air into your home throughout and continuously. This fresh air creates positive pressure that pushes stale, moisture-laden air out, balancing indoor humidity levels.
Here’s why PIV Units are so effective for tackling condensation:
-
- Fresh Air Circulation: They bring in fresh air to improve ventilation.
-
- Humidity Control: It prevents condensation on cold surfaces by balancing the indoor moisture levels.
-
- Mould Prevention: Less dampness provides no scope for mould growth.
