Wes Quick, director at ventilation firm Expella, shares his top tips for preventing mould and odours from taking over your bathroom.
Dampness in bathrooms is primarily caused by poor ventilation, creating a breeding ground for mould and funky odours, and making it unpleasant to use and downright embarrassing when you have guests over.
Mould is also unhealthy; the fungus, if left untreated, can produce harmful toxins and irritants. According to the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB), a family of four produces an average of seven or more kilograms of water vapour per day from showering and bathing. In the absence of sufficient ventilation, this saturated air creates the perfect conditions for mould growth.
