How to Prevent Condensation, Mould and Damp in Your Home

Summary

Condensation occurs when water vapor in the air comes into contact with a cold surface. You can observe it as mist or droplets forming on windows, mirrors, tiles, or toilet cisterns.

Water vapor is generated from common activities such as cooking, bathing, or drying laundry. Since warm air can hold more moisture than cold air, proper heating can help minimise condensation.

Mould spores thrive on damp surfaces, often appearing as black spots on walls or windows. Adequate insulation is essential for maintaining warmth and reducing condensation.
