Far Infrared Eliminates Damp & Mold
Solving heating problems and damp & mold in a single stroke
Not only does FiR provide a low-carbon, highly efficient and effective heating solution, it also permanently eliminates damp and mold from homes which have chronic problems with these life-threatening conditions.
Damp and mold tend to form in homes which are hard to heat – ones with poor insulation, ineffective heating systems or inadequate ventilation. FiR is ideally suited to solve both the heating problem and the damp/mold problem in these properties.
Removing damp and mould in less than a week
In addition to infrared’s core heating role in the NexGen system, the very nature of infrared means that it is ideal for treating damp and mold.
When any FiR product is switched on, the far infrared energy it produces is absorbed by the fabric of a room (walls, furniture, carpets etc), so these surfaces warm up significantly. This warmth evaporates any embedded moisture in the walls and mobilizes it into the air. The moisture can then be easily removed from the air using standard ventilation systems or dehumidifiers, and the mould cleaned away.
Ensuring that damp & mold doesn’t return
Once the damp and mold have been removed, the ongoing operation of the FiR systems ensures that they won’t come back. The infrared will continue to warm the fabric of the room, and neither the damp nor the mold will be able to form.
Even if the property is left vacant for an extended period, FiR temperature and humidity sensors monitor the in-room conditions for damp and mold formation on an ongoing basis. Should such cool and damp conditions approach, FiR is automatically activated for a heating cycle, preventing the damp from returning.
