Cabin Ventilation
How important is it to keep your cabin ventilated ?
In short, VERY !
Condensation can form in a cabin when warm, moist air comes into contact with cooler surfaces, causing the moisture in the air to condense into water droplets. It is most often found on single glazed glass, poor quality double glazing and in the corners of a cabin.
How condensation can form in a cabin:
So, you now know why condensation will form (and ultimately allow the growth of mould on those surfaces) how can you minimise this from happening ?
The easy fix is to add air vents to the cabin. These come in all shapes, sizes and prices.
The cheapest option but maintaining a clean look to your cabin are these plastic inserts :
You will need to cut a hole in the wall at a convenient location - choose the correct hole cutter to match the size of the vent and push into position.
A recent customer has shared the following vent covers. These are a definite upgrade to the plastic option above. They have the ability to be opened and closed from within your cabin.
Manufactured from 304 stainless steel these units have a quality finish and include a fine mesh to prevent insects from gaining access to your cabin.
For info, our customer purchased these from Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B79C436R?th=1
The internal cover is sold as a separate item, again available from Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0948XYS47
There are plenty of other options that will allow you to provide good ventilation to your cabin - if you want to avoid the risk of mould growth due to high moisture levels (condensation) you should consider the various ventilation options available.
