David Bly – Managing Director of Cornerstone Management Services Ltd, a company providing independent expert property health surveys is of the opinion more can be done for fighting year-on-year damp, condensation and mould issues in buildings.

With a proven history providing independent expert surveys into the root causes of damp, condensation and mould, our findings clearly confirm many issues align to the adequate ventilation of a building.

DMEV

Vortice is proud to unveil its latest range of DMEV (decentralised mechanical extract ventilation) fans, offering a vital remedy for condensation and mould challenges faced by UK social housing providers. Celebrated for their dependability and performance, these advanced fans can move over half a million litres of air in just 24 hours even at their minimal trickle speeds. It’s not difficult to see why these fans, which have features like automatic humidity boost and run-on timers as well as being IPX4 rated, are so popular.  However, when used in existing homes, they can struggle to meet the whole dwelling ventilation rates required by the latest Building Regulations due to the small number of ‘wet rooms’ in some of the UK’s older housing stock.
