As the colder weather begins to set in, chill winds can escape into your home and create condensation, which can cause damp and mould within the home.
Not only can too much moisture damage the structure of the house, but the fungus that is left behind can lead to a number of health issues, reports the Daily Record. So as temperatures continue to drop, heating experts are warning people to keep their bathroom doors closed while showering - or they risk spreading damp air throughout the home.
According to Mark Ronald, Lead Engineer at Hometree, condensation is one of the most common forms of household damp and is brought on by poor ventilation. Mark explained: " The main type of damp that central heating helps combat is condensation, often found in rooms that don’t get used as much as others. Another common form of damp is found behind furniture, where air circulation is poor.
