A low allergen home is one that is designed to create a clean and comfortable living environment which does not encourage the growth of asthma triggers and allergens, such as dust mites and moulds. Allergens are commonly found in the home environment so a reduction of allergen exposure, by improved building design and material selection, may typically benefit allergy sufferers. Always choose suitable ceiling insulation which will not produce fibres, dust or provide habitat to insects or vermin. An efficient water charcoal filtration system for the indoor water supply will remove chlorine as well as hydrocarbons which may be present.
Moulds love bathrooms and laundries - especially when there is condensation and humidity.
Minimise moisture build-up by ensuring good ventilation. You may consider installing extractor fans. Install an electric or solar hot water system. One piece shower units are preferred instead of tiles and shower curtains. Install insect-proof ventilation to pantry doors and install inert natural stone surfaces for bench tops.
