Mould

a rapidly growing danger

A combination of moisture and heat has an extremely positive effect on mould and larger fungal networks develop. Clear signs of mould infestation are coloured stains on surfaces, a musty smell and a poor indoor climate.

Causes of mould growth

  • High air or material humidity coupled with unfavourable room temperature
  • Thermal bridges due to inadequate thermal insulation
  • Indoor condensation due to high usage humidity, e.g. washing, drying and showering
  • Lack of air exchange
  • Tap water damage

Health risks due to mould

  • Disease of the respiratory tract
  • Bronchitis and shortness of breath
  • Irritation of the eyes and skin
  • Gastrointestinal complaints
  • Increased susceptibility to infection
  • Allergies and poisoning
