Damp Flats
Flat design often blocks ventilation, making it difficult to exchange vapour-saturated air for fresh air.
A lack of windows may also encourage condensation and mould growth.
Here’s how to solve dampness in apartment buildings:
Appropriate heating and ventilation can prevent damp problems in flats caused by condensation. However, when it proves difficult to ventilate rooms, other means of preventing damp problems in flats need to be found. One such option is the use of Dryzone Mould-Resistant Emulsion Paint.
Dryzone Mould-Resistant Emulsion Paint protects walls against the growth of black mould for at least 5 years. This proves particularly useful for rooms in which a lot of water vapour typically accumulates, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
When damp problems occur in bathrooms, kitchens or any other room of the flat, the result is often mould on walls and ceilings. Before an application of Dryzone Mould-Resistant Emulsion Paint can take place, all mould needs to be cleaned off the affected walls in the flat. SoluGuard Multi-Surface Biocide is recommended for this use.
SoluGuard Multi-Surface Biocide is a high strength, ready-for-use biocide ideal for the removal of mould growth on walls and ceilings in flats. The product is low in odour, non-flammable and will not stain treated surfaces.
