The presence of condensation in either a kitchen or bathroom area is a sure sign that, unless steps are taken to prevent it forming, significant damage could be caused to your home. Condensation forms when the temperature of the air in a room is raised to a point where a “Dew Point” is reached. Hot air is able to carry much more moisture than cold air, this water comes from our breathing, bathing, showering and cooking amongst other domestic activities.

How then can we prevent condensation forming on cold surfaces such as windows and walls etc? Our homes have to be warm and comfortable particularly bathrooms, showering areas, and due to cooking, kitchens are naturally warmer than some other rooms. The most efficient and simplest way is to ensure that adequate ventilation is achieved in those areas that are most affected is by use of an extractor fan. Vectaire produce a wide range of extractor fans which can be fitted easily and cheaply from a simple window or wall model, to a more sophisticated ducted system. Don’t let condensation spoil your home.

Taking a bath or using the shower raises the humidity in the bathroom or shower room area due to steam from the hot water. This in itself will cause condensation to appear on walls or glass surfaces, resulting in unsightly black mould growth, even in severe cases damage to plaster or wood.

Removing this water vapour and unpleasant smells in say, a toilet area, is simple and straight forward by using one of the many Vectaire extractor fans now available through the UK Bathrooms online pages. All the Vectaire extractor fans are not only efficient and quiet in use, but you will find them competitively priced by UK Bathrooms.

Take the Vectaire Deluxe Axial Extractor Fan (IPx4) Standard Extractor Fan as an example. This item is priced at just £43.80 and is ideal fro fitting to toilets, bathrooms, shower-rooms, utility rooms and kitchens, it can be installed to walls, ceiling or windows, some accessories may be necessary for this and can be seen in the Vectaire accessory pages.

Modern houses are constructed in a manner designed to preserve as much heat as possible, quite rightly so in these days of high fuel costs. By improving the insulation and draught proofing inevitably means that condensation will increase and it is important that this is kept at a level that does not cause damage or harm to the structure and decorations of the property.

Using strategically placed extractors fans have always proved to be successful in keeping condensation to a minimum and they are now more important than ever before, in areas such as bathrooms, shower areas, as well as kitchens and utility rooms where we may have laundry equipment installed.
