HUMIDIFICATION & DEHUMIDIFICATION


Humidity-resistant ceiling tiles aim to maintain fresh interiors in damp spaces


Aquabloc is a ceiling tile product developed by ZENTIA to address the challenges of humidity and heat in interior environments. Designed for use in damp spaces such as spas, shower areas, and other facilities where moisture is a constant concern, Aquabloc is engineered to withstand 100% relative humidity (RH) without compromising its structural integrity or aesthetic appeal. Made from hydrated


calcium silicate, the Aquabloc tiles are capable of preventing discolouration, warping, and potential mould growth, which are common issues in high-humidity environments. This makes them a suitable solution for creating fresh, inviting interiors that can withstand


Guidance on humidifier selection and sizing in new podcast


CONDAIR has released a new podcast for HVAC professionals on how to select and size a commercial humidifier. In a 15-minute interview with BusinessNet Explorer, sales director at Condair Dave Marshall-George explains what should be considered when setting out on a humidifier project. Dave comments: “This


the effects of moisture over the long term. In addition to its high


performance, Aquabloc offers an easy-to-install board edge, allowing for seamless integration into new or existing grid systems. Once installed, the white ceiling tiles can contribute to a sense of light and height, enhancing the overall ambiance of the interior spaces.


Zentia provides a range of support services to simplify the specification and installation process, including a team of dedicated architectural and design consultants, a presence at the Material Source Studio in Manchester or Glasgow, and integration with the NBS construction product


platform. ■ www.zentia.com


podcast will be really helpful for any building services consultant, contractor or FM who needs to understand more about humidification of a commercial premises. Humidifiers are essential in many applications, but projects of this type don’t come along very often. So it can be difficult for HVAC engineers to get the experience needed to successfully design a humidification system. In


this podcast, I describe the main elements that determine whether a humidifier should be used in an AHU or directly in a room, which type of humidifier fits what type of application and how to correctly size a unit for an area.”
