The Importance of Proper Ventilation in the Home

When most of us think about pollution, we think about it being outside of our homes. However, the truth is that our homes are usually more polluted than the air outside!

There are a variety of sources of indoor pollution, some of which include:

• Tobacco smoke,
• Biological pollutants such as mould,
• Materials that have been used to construct the building,
• Household cleaning products and pesticides,
• Gases.

The truth is that we can’t avoid pollutants – they are simply a fact of life and the way we build things and clean things.

However, people can become sick simply due to the pollution indoors. This usually includes discomfort that goes away once the source of pollution is eliminated.

If you want to avoid any unwanted effects of indoor pollution then it’s important to keep your home properly ventilated. Double glazing is the perfect way to keep warmth inside of your home, and the good news is that our windows and doors are built with security and practicality in mind.
