Condensation Control
Condensation is moisture caused by everyday living, from cooking to having a shower.
Normally moisture will remain in the atmosphere - humidity, but as the room air
temperature drops, the ability for air to hold moistures reduces, and the air becomes
too saturated. This leads to water droplets known as condensation forming on cold
surfaces such as walls, windows and metal.

Problem
In domestic properties, condensation is largely the
consequence of today’s improved standards of draught
proofing, particularly when older properties have been
upgraded.
Failing to open windows and trickle vents can result
in a lack of adequate ventilation. This means moisture
produced by washing, cooking and everyday lifestyle
is trapped inside the property, leading to a buildup of
excess wetness and humidity - condensation.

This problem not only affects privately owned property

but also presents serious issues for all landlords - either
private or local authorities and housing associations.
Poorly managed ventilation can lead to problems such
as damp living conditions, including streaming windows
and peeling decoration, unsightly mould growth and
poor indoor air quality, some of which may be unhealthy,
especially for those with respiratory problems.

Solution
Dry Air ‘Whole House’ Ventilation
At Peter Cox, we are passionate about improving air
quality for everyone, which is why we offer a varied
range of eco-friendly and innovative ventilation
systems, designed to deliver homes with fresh, filtered
air. By introducing fresh air into the building and
circulating it gently around the property, and removing
stagnant stale air, the atmosphere is transformed into a
healthy and condensation free environment.
The Peter Cox Dry Air Whole House Ventilation units
are designed to ventilate the property quietly from a
position in the loft or on a landing in a house or the
central hallway of a property.
The units are designed to run continuously, replacing
moisture laden air with clean tempered and filtered
air, forcing contaminates out of the building through
natural gaps under floors and around window opening
sashes.

Our range of condensation control units
Whole House Ventilation: Loft Mounted Unit
4 Taking advantage of the benefits
of solar gain in the loft space,
this unit draws fresh air from
the loft and delivers it into
the property at a continuous
rate while being whisper quiet.
This positive input ventilation
has an extremely low power
consumption rate and is
designed to create an
easy and non-disruptive
installation process.
4 This product will
significantly improve
the indoor air quality
in the home while
protecting the fabric
of the home by
alleviating condensation
dampness and removing
allergens.
Whole House Ventilation: Wall Mounted Unit
4 Designed for flats, this unit
uses the same low watt motor
technology, drawing fresh air
into the home and mixing
it with the warm air that
accumulates at ceiling level.
This re-distributes heat around
the property and forces moisture
laden air outside. This is ideal
for properties without
a loft space.

Ventilate your property
Our Whole House Ventilation
units are designed to
ventilate the property quietly
from a position in the loft
or on a landing in a house
or the central hallway of a
property.
By drawing fresh air into the
building and circulating it
gently round the property,
stagnant stale atmospheres are
transformed into healthy and
condensation free environments.
The units run continuously,
meaning moisture and
condensation are driven out
and replaced with clean tempered
and filtered air.

drying, compared to conventional emulsions - meaning there are less water
molecules sitting in micro-cracks in the paint surface. These micro-cracks
occur when standard paint dries and shrinks. Because it takes 2400kJ to
evaporate one litre of water, a large amount of additional energy will be used to
evaporate this water and heat up a cold room with a high level of humidity in
the wall/coating.
The glass bubbles within Warmerwall Anti-Condensation Coating help to form
a much smoother surface with reduced micro-cracking. The glass bubbles are
impermeable to water diffusion and due to the dry film packing factor being Excellent
