Ventilation is essential for a healthy indoor climate. Each room in the house has its own points of attention in this regard. In the coming period we will tell you more about this in the series 'A fresh look at ventilation: practical tips for ventilating different rooms'. Today: the living room and kitchen, where you want to get rid of the harmful substances as quickly as possible.
Harmful substances are released in the living room and kitchen all day long, for example when cooking and using household appliances. Insufficient ventilation causes high CO2 concentrations. This can lead to health problems, such as fatigue and reduced ability to concentrate.
For a healthy climate in the home, good ventilation is essential. First, it is important to know that Ventilating means continuously supplying fresh air and removing polluted air, this can be done via several means. Yes, simply opening windows will dilute the pollutants and remove moisture but will also let out heat and if you live in an urban environment let in fumes and noise that you don’t want.
The best solution is MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery). This system is more expensive than other options available, but it not only removes harmful pollutants from your home—it also supplies fresh, filtered, and warmed air back into your living spaces. The MVHR unit includes a built-in heat exchanger that recovers over 90% of your home’s heat, redistributing it into your living rooms and bedrooms through ceiling-mounted valves.
A point of attention when installing a mechanical ventilation system is the placement of the valves. If they are mounted too close to the wall, they can be difficult to access and can leave grey and black edges around them. To prevent this, Ubbink has developed handy inserts for the Haelix valves. If they are placed on the side of the wall, the air is no longer blown directly against the wall and you prevent unsightly marks, this also ensures that the air is more efficiently distributed in the room.
In addition to the valves, Ubbink has all the components required to ensure your home ventilation system works flawlessly for years to come. Ubbink’s Air Excellent Air distribution system is class leading ATC 2 rated creating airtight seals and allowing the installer flexibility with its semi rigid construction. You can create a healthy indoor climate with it in every home and it offers maximum design freedom. Ubbink also has the wall mounted external ducts for the supply and exhaust of air and the Aerfoam insulated ducts for all ducting in unheated spaces like lofts.
