Ventilation is necessary to create a healthy living environment. In damp rooms like the bathroom, good ventilation is extra important. This prevents health problems, but also problems such as strange odours, slipperiness, condensation and moisture problems including mould. Mould mainly grows in damp places and is not always visible. You can get rid of mould with baking soda, bleach or more persistent anti-fungal sprays, but this is only a short-term solution. To prevent mould and tackle it at its cause, it is necessary to ventilate the bathroom all year round. Moist air should especially not linger too long, especially if you like to take nice long showers.

Animal Day, the day we put an extra spotlight on our dear dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.! As much as we love our pets, we cannot deny that they produce foul odors, dander, hair and moisture, as well as emitting CO2. Both long-haired, short-haired and hairless animals create indoor pollution. These pollutants cause indoor air quality to deteriorate. Fresh air is incredibly important, both for you and your pet. Want to treat yourself and your pet more and not just on Animal Day? Treat your personal pet and yourself to a clean environment!
After purchasing the EnviSense CO2 meter, you may have some questions. To help you, here are the most frequently asked questions and their answers. Is your question not here? Please don't hesitate to contact us.
How important is good air quality in your workplace?Posted on 8-9-2021 by Anouk Wigchert
We spend almost 90% of our time indoors, much of it at work. A healthy workplace seems obvious, but it's not. Whether you work at home, at the office or change work locations, healthy air quality contributes to people's productivity and absenteeism. In this blog, we'll tell you more about healthy air quality in your workplace.
Fresh air is important for our health. Did you know that indoor air is up to five times more polluted than outdoor air? We don't talk about "getting some fresh air" for nothing; we need plenty of fresh air. We help you make sure there is enough fresh air, in the home, office, school, cafe or gym. With our advice and tips, you can get some fresh air indoors too!
Adiabatic cooling, or evaporative cooling, is an effective way of cooling. The air inside is cooled by evaporating water. It is a more energy-efficient and sustainable alternative to regular air conditioning. Depending on the airflow, this way of cooling is up to 80% more efficient and has been used for centuries. In this blog, we explain adiabatic cooling and why it is also an effective way of cooling at home.
The temperature outside is soaring, it's summer! Warm weather is usually nice, so we spend massive amounts of time outside in the summer. What is less pleasant is the heat creeping into the house. Resulting in an uncomfortable and perhaps unhealthy indoor climate. We tend to keep the windows and doors closed during the day or even turn off the mechanical ventilation in the house. This is not the way to combat heat. If you ventilate properly and are conscious about the indoor climate, you can use ventilation to keep the air in the home cooler and healthy. In this blog, we will tell you more about this.
Besides creating a healthy indoor climate, do you want to save energy without having to do anything yourself? Then choose demand-controlled ventilation. Without having to look after it, there is always clean and healthy air in the house. This system can easily be applied to a number of WTW systems and to "regular" mechanical ventilators.
Thermoduct is a product manufactured by Econox. A Thermoduct tube is a spiro tube made of high-quality galvanised steel, with a thermal insulation layer on the outside. This has many advantages, in this blog we explain this further.
An enthalpy exchanger recovers moisture in addition to heat. Proper ventilation without an enthalpy exchanger extracts moisture from the air in a home. Long exposure to too low humidity can have physical consequences. So with the enthalpy exchanger, you no longer suffer from this. The enthalpy exchanger maintains the humidity level, making the air in your home much more pleasant.
We spend much of our time indoors or at work, where healthy air is essential. Therefore, it is important to know whether the indoor air quality is up to scratch. When it is not, health issues can arise. But how do you know if the air is clean? By installing an air quality meter, you can easily get a full insight into the air quality of your home or workplace.
A tube fan is an easy to install and powerful extractor fan. An inline tube fan is able to achieve good ventilation and can be used for ventilation of both small and large spaces (industrial fans). A tube fan is a lot more powerful than a normal bathroom fan, which means that they are used more often in rooms where there is more air resistance.
We are increasingly noticing the effects of global warming. We know we can also do something ourselves to counteract it. Among other things, we can travel less often by car, eat less meat and use energy sparingly. With the latter, the government has helped us. The imposition of higher environmental requirements for new houses was in fact a consequence of the 1973 energy crisis. This created a veritable wave of insulation. Since this time, modern homes are so well insulated that heat can no longer be lost through cracks and holes. The downside of this is that it also prevents fresh air from entering the house. However, we need ventilation to stay healthy. On the other hand, we all want to ensure that the environment does not deteriorate even further. In this blog, we answer the question of whether ventilation is environmentally friendly.
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.
Every day we breathe more than 25,000 times. The quality of the air we breathe has a major impact on our health. Clean air provides more energy, better concentration and can even contribute to a longer life. It is often thought that we do not suffer from air pollution indoors, but this is unjustified. Also in the house the air is often unhealthy. And because we spend as much as 80% of our time indoors, a healthy indoor climate is very important. Fortunately, nowadays many homes are equipped with a ventilation system with heat recovery (HRU) which ensures continuous fresh air in the house without any loss of heat. But even if your home is equipped with the best ventilation system, small harmful substances such as (ultra) fine dust, bacteria and pollen can still enter. To ensure that even the smallest particles do not enter your home, there is now an accessory available for your ventilation system that makes a difference; the Brink Pure Induct. The Pure Induct ensures the purest and most filtered ventilation air.
Hay fever and house dust mite allergy are common allergies. Ventilation is not only important for maintaining healthy air quality and good health, but it is also effective in reducing the symptoms associated with hypersensitivity to certain substances, such as allergies and hay fever. In this article, we explain why this is so!
