Both freshly completed and old housing units may encounter a number of problems that may affect the quality of life of the tenants. Such situations can easily be controlled by simple steps, but the representatives of Life Art Distributie, a company specializing in indoor air treatment solutions, note. 1. Increased humidity: One of the most common challenges faced by those moving into a newly completed home is the increased moisture level in the early years of using the building. Given the large amount of water used in the construction process, a new building normally needs about two to five years to dry in a proper manner. However, fulfilling this requirement naturally is almost impossible in an effervescent real estate market characterized by a robust demand in which buyers want to move as quickly as possible into the new home, and observing delivery terms is, of course, very important for developers. Even if for different reasons condensation is a real problem among many homeowners. "Excessive humidity may cause dirt or mold to appear on certain areas on the walls or even on furniture pieces. Many owners choose the camera's intense ventilation, an activity that leads to larger utility bills, "explains Life Art representatives. In the context of already existing construction companies using professional equipment for the drying of new constructions, it is important to note that such solutions are also available to final customers if needed. According to Life Art representatives, excess humidity can be quickly eliminated within 3-5 days with the help of specific devices. The cost of such an action starts at around € 65 (the price calculated for three days of rental of a dehumidifier and a fan for measurement and transport included) and increases depending on the area of the house and the number of days required. 2. Toxins and microorganisms: Air quality in a home is very important for the health of the tenants, especially for people more exposed to diseases, such as the elderly or the children. However, this can be affected by a number of factors, starting with the thermal insulation solutions used and ending with the vapors removed from the freshly applied paint. Well-insulated thermal homes and, in particular, those using passive building solutions may encounter difficulties in air circulation and self-regulation of humidity levels. Other insulation materials, especially those applied on the inside, can dry the air from the rooms. For such situations, Life Art recommends the use of air purifiers that destroy over 99% of the microorganisms in the rooms. Those who want to adjust the moisture level at the same time can resort to moisturizing products that include the air purification function. 3. Unpleasant odors: Another common problem among apartment owners is that of unpleasant odors whose circulation can be favored by the type of partitioning - when many new (but not only) houses have open kitchens or windows without bathrooms where the air is removed with fans. "These solutions are not the most effective and many customers in new blocks complain about the smell of cigarette or food coming from neighbors on the same column. In addition, in kitchens, an important amount of carbon monoxide is eliminated through the cooking process, "explains Life Art officials. In such situations, an air purifier based on a high-temperature air treatment technology can be a the right solution - it has the advantage that it does not require long-term maintenance costs as it does not have filters to be changed.
