The Problem

All air contains moisture and this is only natural, however, there can be too much. Moisture has been added through our day-to-day activities, such as boiling a kettle, drying clothes, showering and even breathing. A typical family adds as much as 11 Litres of excess moisture to the air every day. Dehumidifiers enable you to control the humidity levels.

Modern Living

In the days when houses were poorly insulated, the excess moisture easily escaped from the home. Today, the double-glazing and draught proofing that keep our homes much better insulated also traps in the excess moisture we generate. Labour saving appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines and tumble dryers also contribute to excess moisture in the home, which in turn leads to condensation and humidity problems. Using dehumidifiers will combat these problems.

Damaging to your Health

Condensation and humidity can pose a threat to your health. Excess moisture can aggravate conditions such as arthritis and rheumatism. Recent research indicates that high humidity causes more house dust-mite activity, which increases the risk of asthma. Dehumidifiers are the ideal solution to this problem.
