What is condensation and how Easy cleaning

Easy cleaning
The Cyclone is designed to deal with
condensation problems in kitchens and
bathrooms. It controls the humidity level
immediately as it begins to rise at source.
Intelligent vapour tracking control
Incorporated within the Cyclone is the
intelligent vapour tracking control, which
constantly monitors the humidity level. As
humidity rises and falls, the motor speed
rises and falls in direct correlation.
This controls condensation quietly and
efficiently, eliminating the problem of noisy
extract fans and reducing the periods of time
when the fan operates on maximum speed,
saving energy.
The Cyclone has been
designed for ease of
cleaning and servicing in
mind. That is why it can be
carried out safely and hassle-free by the
resident. There is a small magnet which
deactivates the fan as soon as the front grille
is removed. The grille and impeller can then
be cleaned in a sink or dishwasher and the
fan scroll can be wiped clean with a cloth
quickly and easily. Once the impeller is
inserted again and the front grille replaced,
the fan will continue to run as normal.
Antimicrobial protection
To ensure clean, safe and hygienic ventilation,
the Cyclone has been manufactured with
patented antimicrobial silver ion protection
to inhibit the growth of bacteria, microbes
and mould on the surface of the fan by up
to 99.99%.
Annual running costs of £1.97 for
bathroom and £4.05 for kitchen with
an electricity cost of £0.15 per unit
(kWh), based on constant running
with 2 hours boost per day.

What is condensation and how
do you prevent it?
Condensation is arguably the most common
form of dampness and can eventually lead
to the growth of black mould. It forms on
internal surfaces when the temperature
drops sufficiently below the temperature
of moist air inside the property. You should
watch out for it because if left to develop,
condensation can lead to an unsightly,
musty property. More importantly, it can also
aggravate or trigger health problems such as
asthma and wider complaints.
How do you spot it?
Streaming windows and walls
Damp areas can appear on walls, especially behind
furniture and in corners
Wallpaper can start to peel
Blackened window frames
Mould growth, usually black mould, starts to appear
Soft furnishings and fabrics become prone to mould
and mildew
Tips on how to reduce it...
Try to keep the inside temperature reasonably
constant for as much of the time as possible
Avoid drying clothes indoors. If you have no choice,
place the clothes rack beside an open window in a
room with the door shut

people in a
property
...create a whopping
16 pints of moisture
per day
...that amounts
to a massive 112
pints of moisture
per week
Day to day activities such as cooking,
washing, bathing, ironing and even
breathing all add to the problem.
In a property of 4 people each will
contribute approximately 4 pints of
moisture per day, adding up to well
over 100 pints per week! In the past
there would be a natural escape
for this hot, damp and poor quality
air through window frames, doors,
uncarpeted floorboards and so forth.
However, building features designed
to cut down heat loss such as cavity
wall insulation, double-glazing and
draught proofing, inhibit ‘natural
ventilation’. Instead, stale, humid air is
trapped, commonly causing streaming
windows, which will inevitably lead
to musty smells, dampness and
ultimately mould growth.
Hello! I am Mr Venty.
I solve condensation
and mould problems
for good.
Mould Spores
The three basic ingredients to start a
colony of mould are:
Organic material
A fungal spore
Water
Mould spores are known allergens. Their
microscopic spores are often powdery and
become airborne at the slightest disturbance.
These microscopic spores are then inhaled
by humans and have been attributed (along
with the dust mite) to being a trigger for
asthma, dust allergies and hay fever.
During growth, fungal colonies can produce
gases known as ‘volites’. These are musty
mildew-like odours, that you may associate
with damp basements. Exposure to these
gases have been associated with a number
of symptoms from headaches to nausea and
fatigue.
The vast majority of products used
to build and furnish homes are made
from organic materials. Fungal spores
are microscopic and are present in
any indoor or outdoor environment;
they can easily enter any dwelling
undetected. The main source of water
for mould is from the air around it, so if
relative humidity is high the mould will
thrive. Therefore, to reduce the risk of
mould growth in a property you must
reduce the relative humidity.
The solution is correct
ventilation...
EnviroVent has a solution for every kind
of home, whether it be apartment, flat,
bungalow or house. With our wide
range of eco-friendly and innovative
ventilation systems, manufactured
here in the UK, you can be assured
that not only will your indoor air quality
be dramatically improved, but so will
your health and your heating bills.
The EnviroVent Mr Venty units are
sophisticated whole home ventilation and
condensation control units. By drawing in
fresh, filtered and clean air from outside, the
units gently ventilate the home from a central
position on a landing in a house or the central
hallway in a flat or bungalow. Moisture laden
air is diluted, displaced and replaced to
maintain humidity levels at around 55%. This
significantly reduces or eliminates surface
condensation, the main cause for mould
growth.
With lower humidity levels, dust mite
populations are also substantially reduced
to provide a significant improvement in
the health of asthma sufferers and general
indoor air quality. There are also Mr Venty
condensation-control units available for flats
and apartments.
Annual running costs are £4.35
based on medium setting and heater
DISABLED with electricity cost of
£0.15 per unit (kWh).
From installation, the unit gently
ventilates the home with fresh air. Air
is pushed back down into the house
and redistributed. Humidity is diluted
to leave a healthy, fresh and clean
environment to live in.
The unit transforms a stagnant, stale
atmosphere into a fresher, healthier
and condensation free environment.
