Are there stains in your bathroom, discolouration around window sashes and layers of dust on the top of bookcases and wardrobes? A general lack of ventilation can cause a build up of moisture and stale air, inevitably leading to mould, dust and bad odours. Preventing indoor air quality problems can be affordable and easy, and you’d be surprised how much easier it will make cleaning your home.
Most importantly, effective ventilation ensures you and your family are living within a healthy environment. Reducing the amount of dust in your home will help everyone breathe easier, while moulds are probably the most common source of indoor air pollution, causing allergies, headaches, and respiratory problems.
Fixing cracks, damp-proofing or improving drainage will help correct moisture problems. If water is leaking in from outside, it’s extremely important that it is corrected.
In order to achieve effective ventilation within a room, the openings through which air exits the house should be larger than those where it enters. Ventilation openings should be in excess of 10 per cent of the floor area of each room.

The amount, style, and size of windows are critical, while the placement of most windows depends on movement of air due to outside pressure differences.
