[A REVISAR] Controlling temperature and humidity at home with the help of specialised ceilings

One of the ways to improve a home is to control temperature and humidity. Keeping the cold or heat inside the rooms of the house not only improves the comfort and wellbeing of the people who live in it, but also saves them money. But there is another very important factor in improving quality of life at home, and that is the water vapour in the air. If we manage to control the humidity inside the house, we can improve the sense of wellbeing. That is why we explain the importance of specialised ceilings.

How does failing to control temperature and humidity inside the home affect us?

Because of humidity, we may notice:

• More intense heat in summer.
• A greater feeling of cold in winter.
• Frequent sweating.
• Difficulty cooling the house.
• Deterioration of furniture and floors.
• Respiratory complications.

Failing to control temperature also affects us through:

• High costs.
• Excessive consumption by heating and cooling appliances:
  • an increase in allergies.
  • colds and flu.
  • difficulty getting to sleep.
  • headaches.
• Wasted energy.

To be able to control and manage temperature and humidity, we need to know the recommended values:

• In winter, humidity should be between 40% and 50%, with a temperature of 22ºC.
• In summer, humidity should be between 45% and 60%, with a temperature of approximately 24ºC.

How can these values be controlled?

When it comes to controlling these values, it is very important to have quality elements in the house: insulation, specialised or accessible ceilings, good ventilation, dehumidifiers, etc. This is especially true in areas exposed to more external agents, such as bathrooms and kitchens. In this respect, we can recommend the use of our vinyl or wood woolceilings. In the case of the former, the aluminium foil on its back face acts as a barrier that prevents condensation from forming, which could otherwise affect the tile and the room. Wood wool, for its part, performs well in humid environments.
The use of specialised ceilings can solve the problem with these two values, but every action helps to combat them:

• Ventilate the house often.
• Install good ventilation systems.
• Avoid storing damp items inside the room (freshly washed clothes, bath towels, etc.).
• Have an optimal ceiling installation, as this product, distributed throughout all the rooms, helps to achieve a high level of wellbeing at home: better acoustics, temperature control, humidity control, easy access to cabling and services, and so on. A careful study and analysis of the room before installing these accessible ceilings will make a difference to the quality of life in our home.

Controlling temperature and humidity will mark a turning point in the sense of wellbeing and comfort at home. We cannot neglect these factors, as their extreme values have very harmful consequences for people.
