In this blog, you'll read about the different CO2 levels and what they mean, what a healthy CO2 level in your home is, which health complaints a high CO2 level can cause and what you can do yourself to lower the CO2 level again.
FAQ
Wanneer je voor een langere tijd in een ruimte bent, is het belangrijk om te weten of de luchtkwaliteit goed is. Wanneer dit niet het geval is loop je risico om last te krijgen van diverse gezondheidsklachten. Zeker wanneer je met meerdere mensen in huis of op kantoor bent, kunnen de CO2 waarden snel oplopen. Nu is niet alleen de blootstelling aan een hoog CO2 niveau erg schadelijk, ook corona kan makkelijker overgedragen worden in een ruimte met een hoge ppm waarde. Een koolstofdioxide meter is dus onmisbaar geworden. Dit apparaat geeft aan wanneer het CO2 niveau te hoog is in een ruimte, en daarmee wanneer het tijd is om te ventileren.
Fine particulates are tiny dust particles smaller than 10 micrometres (µm) that you can't see with the naked eye, but which still affect the air you breathe. A particulate matter sensor makes this invisible air pollution visible: the device measures the amount of (fine) dust particles in the air, expressed in PM (Particulate Matter), giving you a simple and clear insight into the air quality in a given space. That way, you know exactly when it's time to ventilate, and you protect your own health and that of others. Good particulate matter sensors often have multiple functions, measuring not only particles below 10 µm but also below 2.5 µm, as well as CO2, humidity and other volatile gases.
How clean is the air in your home, really? With a simple check, you can find out in no time. Measuring the air quality in your own home is actually not complicated at all! With a CO2 monitor or particulate matter meter (sometimes also called an air quality meter), you can see straight away whether the air quality in your home is good (enough) or not. If it isn't, you immediately know that extra ventilation is needed. In this blog, we explain how you can measure the air quality at home quickly and easily, what healthy indoor air quality actually means, which substances can cause poor(er) air quality, and what the relevant requirements and regulations are.
A musty bathroom, a kitchen full of cooking fumes or a room where the air just doesn’t seem to circulate properly: these are all situations where you long for fresh air. An inline tube fan is often the ideal solution, especially when air needs to travel over a longer distance or overcome greater resistance in the ventilation system. But how do you install, mount and connect an inline tube fan correctly? In this blog, we explain exactly what you need to know: from choosing the right position in the duct to ensuring a safe and future-proof connection.
Demand-controlled ventilation automatically adjusts based on the air quality in your home. It ventilates more when needed and less when it isn't. The result: a healthy indoor climate and lower energy consumption, without any effort on your part. In 2026, demand-controlled ventilation is the standard in modern mechanical ventilation systems and heat recovery units. In this blog, you'll find everything you need to know about demand-controlled ventilation and which products from our range are suitable!
The temperature outside is rising quickly: summer is here! Warm weather is often lovely, and we spend a lot of time outdoors. What is less pleasant is the heat slowly entering your home. The result? An uncomfortable and sometimes even unhealthy indoor climate. Many people keep windows and doors closed during the day or even switch off the mechanical ventilation in their home. That is not the right way to fight heat. By ventilating at the right times and consciously managing the indoor climate, you can keep the air in your home fresher, healthier and more pleasant. In this blog, we tell you more about this.
Cleaning, installing or replacing an air vent cover is important for good indoor air quality. Dirty or clogged air vent covers allow less air to pass through, meaning humid and polluted air is removed less effectively. A dirty cover can also make your ventilation system work less efficiently. In this blog, you will learn how to clean an air vent cover and what to pay attention to when cleaning one. We also explain how to clean the mesh of an air vent cover without damaging it. In addition, you will read when replacement is better than cleaning and how to install an air vent cover correctly.
It is important to know where noise in your ventilation system is coming from, before you can reduce it. A ventilation system causes air to be moved and in doing so, vibrations are released. To do this, a mechanical ventilation system is equipped with a motor that also creates vibrations. Many of these vibrations produce noise and thus annoyance. The noise level can vary from one ventilation system to another.
We are frequently asked how one should maintain a mechanical fan or heat recovery system. This is a very good question, because for maximum benefit from your ventilation system, proper maintenance is a must. This does not require intensive maintenance but regular cleaning.
The lack of fresh air in a room is very unhealthy. Among other things, it leads to physical complaints that are very quickly noticeable. This blog lists the complaints caused by poor ventilation and gives tips on how to prevent them.
If you have an MVHR unit installed in your home or building, it is important to check the MVHR filters several times a year and replace them when necessary. MVHR filters ensure that fine dust and polluted air particles are filtered out of the incoming air before it enters your home through the MVHR unit. In this way, the filters contribute to healthy and clean indoor air quality. Over time, however, MVHR filters become contaminated with dust and dirt particles. As a result, less clean air can flow through them and your ventilation system operates less efficiently. If you do not replace your MVHR filters regularly, bacteria and mould can also develop on the filters.
The main reason to ventilate is to positively influence air quality. Therefore, everyone has ventilated at some point or has indirectly come into contact with it. Some examples are: opening a window (blowing air), ventilating via window grilles or fans.
When you buy a bathroom fan, you obviously want to be able to use it as soon as possible. The quickest way to do that is to install it yourself, of course. But how do you actually do that? In the step-by-step plan below, we explain in a simple step-by-step manner the best way to do so. We also have an instructional video that you can watch below! In the step-by-step plan below, we also explain how to install bathroom ventilation with timer and humidity sensor.

Energy prices are skyrocketing, and decesion have to be made between eating or heating. It is time to make our homes more sustainable and thus save energy. In summer, our homes use less energy than in winter. In summer you are outside more often and the heating does not have to be switched on. In winter, we often keep the windows closed to keep the heat in, but unfortunately that is when the problems arise. There is no fresh air coming into our well insulated houses. The lack of fresh air leads to high CO2 levels, which in turn leads to various health complaints.
