How to reduce Humidity in your House

Exploring easy ways to reduce humidity levels throughout the home

Humidity is something that all home owners have to contend with, but relatively few people actually know how to do anything about.

That’s worrying, because humidity is an important issue. Excessive humidity can promote the growth of mould, attract pests, cause damp, and make the air in homes harmful to breathe. Too little can cause skin to become dry, make heating less efficient, and make it harder to stay warm in cool weather.

In this article, we’re going to be concerned with excessive humidity, as it has a more damaging effect on the fabric of homes. So what can be done to lower humidity, and what changes to home owners need to make to the way their homes are organised?

Deploy dehumidifiers to alter the moisture content of air around the home

Firstly, if the air in your home has a really high moisture content, it’s probably a good idea to position a couple of dehumidifiers in strategic locations. These devices suck in moist air, and use coolant systems to condense that moisture, which will then reduce condensation on windows, ceilings, and walls.

Generally speaking, you’ll need a dehumidifier if the humidity rating of your home is above 60%. Placing one on each floor should be sufficient.

Ensure proper ventilation and use house plants to engineer the atmosphere

Rooms like bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens will need to be properly ventilated to remove moist air efficiently. This especially applies to bathrooms, which usually have exhaust fans attached to the walls. Ensure that these fans are unblocked and turned on for at least 30 minutes after any bath or shower.

House plants can also help to remove excessive moisture from internal spaces. How? The leaves of plants like Peace Lillies have enough surface area to suck in water from the air, which they use in respiration. A few plants will have a noticeable impact on anyone’s living room.

Learn how to turn your kitchen into a humidity free zone

Kitchens are one of the rooms in the home that are most vulnerable to excess humidity. Fortunately, there are some easy remedies that all home owners can employ.

Most importantly, kitchens should include an effective extractor unit, to remove steam and fumes from cooking. Faber offers a variety of state of the art extractor hoods with Steam Off System, which will deal with whatever moisture levels your cookery creates.

Adding a dehumidifier in the kitchen can help as well, while opening windows on warmer days, and using covered pans when boiling can also limit moisture levels. In any case, drier, healthier air is within reach across the home with a few easy fixes.

How to purify the air in a shop and ensure a healthy environment for customers

As places that are generally frequented by a large number of people and that become particularly crowded during holiday periods or seasonal sales, commercial businesses must pay special attention to indoor air quality. This requirement is essential in the case of shops that are located in shopping centres and, as such, are generally without windows.

How to purify the air at home – From portable air purifiers to plants

During the winter, we spend most of the time indoors. With the recent developments in society over the past years, our indoor spaces have taken an even more important role in our everyday life. So much so, that we now conduct a series of activities from home that were once done outside of the home, such as work, studies, conviviality and even exercise. This way of life makes it essential to breathe in pure and healthy air free of toxic elements to protect our health and create a healthy balance between body and mind.
