What is it?

Humidity due to condensation appears on the inside face of the enclosures when its temperature is lower than that of dew, which causes the water vapor present in the environment to condense on the facing when it comes into contact with it, usually colder.

This result in brown and even deep black condensation spots, followed by detachment of the finishes and the appearance of large population fungi with a characteristic rotten odor.

Why is it produced?

The main factors that actively influence the appearance of moisture by condensation are:

  • High production of water vapor: generally located in humid areas of houses such as kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Impermeability of some materials such as glass, tiles or aluminum enclosures, on which a real drip occurs.
  • Thermal Bridges. In less extreme environments, where the emission of water vapor is moderate and the cladding materials are porous, the existence of thermal bridges without adequate insulation can generate the appearance of this type of humidity.
  • Resistant to aging due to attacks by mold, bacteria, fungi and UV rays.
  • The lack of lighting in corners and ventilation in the premises can aggravate the appearance of this type of pathology.

YOU HAVE MOISTURE PROBLEMS

We can help you

How can it be solved?

As a preventive method to avoid this type of humidity, it is best to prepare the interior surface of the enclosures with porous coatings that allow the transit of water vapor to the outside, thermal insulators to avoid that the walls are at temperatures colder than those of the environment , resistant to fungal attack.

Why DECOPROYEC sprayed cork?

DECOPROYEC sprayed cork combines all the desirable properties in a single material in a coating designed to combat moisture caused by condensation. Thanks to its high breathability, it does not interrupt the transit of water vapor from the inside to the outside, preventing the air from being saturated with water.

But this is not the only thing, the DECOPROYEC sprayed cork is also a thermal insulator that makes the wall to be at the same temperature as the enclosure, making the thermal gradients disappear.

On the other hand, it definitely puts an end to thermal bridges since DECOPROYEC sprayed cork is a continuous coating that completely lines the entire enclosure it houses, not being interrupted by cross-sectional encounters with structural elements as could happen if we resorted to plates and panels insulators made from other prefabricated materials. In addition to natural cork, the main component of our sprayed cork, by its nature does not harbor the fungus.

It is a fast, clean and unique solution that perfectly replaces other more cumbersome ones that require works, dismantling of enclosures and long execution times.
