If a number of windows throughout the house are kept open by just a small amount, this will provide an efficient cross ventilation system. It helps to keep internal doors open to those rooms that are not in constant use and to frequently 'air' the contents of wardrobes and linen cupboards to prevent mould growth. Ventilation grilles placed in the lower section of doors to bathrooms will ensure exhaust fans are able to operate efficiently. Ceiling vents and louvred doors can help ventilate wardrobes Free flowing' natural ventilation is essential for most types of unflued gas heaters - if unsure check with the manufacturer. While it's true that higher temperatures allow the air to carry more moisture, efficient heating methods will raise surface temperatures above the dew point.
Good ventilation can then carry moisture laden air outside the home.
A gentle, dry method of heating is best. DON'T use kerosene room heaters if your home suffers from condensation, because they produce large quantities of water vapour. Insulation Roof insulation above the ceilings not only assists in keeping your home cool in summer but also keeps it warm during the winter. By allowing the ceilings to stay warmer in winter, they are much less likely to be affected by condensation and mould growth. A number of different types or roof insulation are available.
