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

- Bronchitis and shortness of breath
- Irritation of the eyes and skin
