Prevent or Reduce Mould and Mustiness

Prevent Mildew and Dampness with Solar Air Ventilation

In recent times, many new houses are designed to ensure fresh indoor air quality by ventilation through air ducts. However those houses that are not regularly used (e.g. holiday houses) will often suffer from dampness resulting in mould, mildew and moisture problems. Holiday homes are often exposed to relatively low temperatures and with closed windows and doors, there is little opportunity to introduce fresh air. Typically this results in increased moisture levels, stale air and a musty odour – the ideal breading ground for dustmites! Many home owners have realised that the SolarVenti can solve the problem of excessive moisture and dampness – without any operating costs.

Reduce Condensation on Windows and Walls

Moisture reduction occurs even during periods when sunlight is scarce.

Once the SolarVenti system has been in operation for some time, the overall moisture content is lowered and a reduction of condensation in windows, walls and furniture is noticable.    If you are in a tropical or sub tropical climate – you may like to have a look at our Solar Whiz range. A Solar Whiz combined with ceiling vents will ventilate house the house whenever the sun shines – and therefore reduce the risk of mould and mildew – keeping the house fresh and free of musty smells – without any running cost. Watch the Solar Whiz annimation Heat Removal via Vents to see an illustration of how it works. For cabins, granny flats and other smaller areas – our Mini & Micro Whiz range may be your answer.

Any asthma sufferer or member of a family with asthma symptoms will know that the way to address asthma triggered by dustmites, mould, mildew etc. is to ventilate the area and/or heat it. SolarVenti does both and is therefore an extremely effective way to address Asthma – and it costs noting to operate!
