Vortice is striving
for a greener tomorrow and is asking its customers to participate.
As part of this, the
company will be gifting Christmas tree seeds this December.
Clean air cannot be
taken for granted and as air experts, Vortice’s mission is to improve the
quality of the air that we breathe and to work towards maximum well-being in
the buildings we inhabit.
Assisting in this
mission by providing additional trees to improve outdoor air quality, is a long
standing tradition of the company.
Trees absorb carbon
dioxide as they grow and also help to reduce ozone levels in urban areas.
During the process of photosynthesis, trees take in carbon dioxide and produce
the oxygen that we breathe. In the same way, house plants can improve
oxygen levels indoors. Their leaves also help to collect dust and debris
from the air, allowing the householder to wipe them clean and remove the dirt.
Other ways we
improve the quality of the air we breathe within the home:
- Use good quality ventilation
fans installed correctly to ensure that moist, stale air is taken out of
the building. Prolonged exposure to damp indoor air can cause asthma
and nasal congestion.
- Ensure that you turn the fan
on or open a window when you’ve had a shower, when you’ve been cooking or
doing the washing, in order to allow damp air out.
- Capture the heat! If you have
a heat recovery system, ensure it is working correctly and is maintained.
These units capture the warmth contained within stale air, by passing it
over a heat exchanger, transferring the heat to the incoming fresh air
thereby saving energy which would have otherwise been lost.
- Clean any mould that appears
within the home immediately, its spores can be damaging to the lungs and
inflame the airways.
Having an issue with
condensation and mould? The Vortice technical department would be only too
happy to offer advice on the best ventilation solution for you. Vortice has a
wide range of fans suitable for bathrooms, wet rooms, utilities and kitchens,
as well as whole house units.
