Health related problems
My thanks to Velux for this fabulous video that is compelling watching. It encapsulates everything that we have been saying about health, and the effects of dampness within the building envelope. What we will be doing is expanding on this - I'm hoping that we can study causes and solutions in much greater depth - but here's the beginning, beautifully filmed by the Velux marketing team.
