HOME & HEATING
Bathroom
Ventilation
The extraction of air from the bathroom
should be a priority for all houses and
commercial buildings.
Bathrooms can generate a large quantity
of steam and odours. It is important this
compromised air does not circulate around
the house.
Bathroom odours can be unpleasant,
especially when near living, sleeping or
working areas.
The moisture generated by showers and
baths can be damaging to your home and
furnishings and be a major contribution
to condensation. Damp houses are not a
healthy environment for anyone to live in,
especially for children or other vulnerable
people.
By extracting air from the bathroom to
outside, warmer air from inside the house
will move in to the bathroom. Whereas
opening a window can draw cold air into
the bathroom and blow the smelly, moisture
laden bathroom air into the house.
Modern houses are built to be very
airtight and require mechanical ventilation
such as extraction fans or heat exchanger
systems. Although older houses can be
draughty, the air often flows in the wrong
direction. Therefore, they also usually
require mechanical ventilation to keep the
air quality higher.
The quality of the air we breathe affects
our health and ability to perform. We
breathe in and out approximately 20,000
litres of air every day. It is therefore very
important to ensure good air quality
indoors through adequate ventilation.
To ensure the quality of your air, contact
the experts. Smooth-Air Products can
calculate the required extraction for your
bathrooms, and look into air exchange
for your whole building. Smooth-
Air offers a wide range of ventilation
equipment, from air vents to ducting
for fans, for both the commercial
and domestic markets. They have an
extensive range of fans and ventilation
components in-store but they can also
provide innovative solutions tailored
to differing requirements. You can

Choosing the
right heat pump
for your home
Are you struggling with the heat of
Summer or wanting to get organised for
Winter? With the ever changing weather
patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility
of being able to heat and cool which is an
advantage no other appliance can offer. This
represents great value for your investment
as you can use it all year round. The team
at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you
cool this Summer either at home or work.
Enviro Master supplies, installs and services
all the leading brands including Panasonic,
Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means
our team can show you which system and
brand will best suit your needs.
With new regulations coming in for
Landlords to provide heating in rentals,
now is a great time to beat the 1st of
July deadline. Inadequate heating and
ventilation can lead to mould growth and
dampness in your property, leading to
costlier maintenance and an unhealthy
living environment. Providing a fixed
heater with a higher heat output and lower
running costs, like a heat pump, will enable
your tenants to heat the area effectively.
It will also discourage them from using
unflued gas heaters which can make a
house damp and mouldy.
It is important to remember, when
selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s
warranty does not cover the installation
and consumers could be responsible for
any repair or damage caused to the system
due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s
five-star installation guarantee ensures
correct installation, and a demonstration
so customers have an understanding on
how it will best meet their needs.
