General Information

There are basic measures to assist in the control of condensation and the black mould.

Our range of ACS Anti Mould and Condensation Control Products complement these basic controls and will prevent these problems occurring for many years.

These methods are particularly helpful in the domestic environment but can be applied equally to most commercial premises.

It is always important to reduce the risk of condensation by observing the following simple recommendations:-

  • Ensure rooms are always warm and properly ventilated, maintaining some low heating throughout the day if possible.

  • When cooking, washing, bathing or drying clothes, keep the door closed and the window open - this prevents warm moist air moving to colder areas of the building.
