Modern day to day living
In today’s modern hectic lifestyle the internal environment of your house can continually change through the humidity, steam and resulting condensation created when taking showers, cooking and drying clothes.
Whilst modern houses are constructed to deal with the demands of your lifestyle older properties may not be so well built to handle them.
However, Clay bricks when used as internal wall facades can help in creating a healthier indoor climate as the bricks breathe and absorb levels of humidity, helping in keeping the atmosphere dryer.
Untreated brick walls not only look attractive but will absorb airborne moisture and give it off again when the humidity is low, balancing out your internal climate.
When used internally, untreated Clay brickwork contributes towards the environmental consciousness of the property.
The micro pores in the surface of a brick absorbs the moisture, steam and condensation created, giving it off again into the atmosphere, better than any other building material.
Without proper and adequate ventilation high humidity and poor air circulation obviously affects the internal climate and can lead to high levels of condensation and mould, dust mites etc.
