Why is excessive dust settling after living room renovation?« Back to Previous Page

Excessive dust settling post-renovation can be caused by several factors. Firstly, it's important to understand that dust is a complex issue influenced by both the construction process and the building environment itself.

In your case, considering you've just undergone renovation, there are a few key areas to investigate. The renovation materials used may contain high levels of particulate matter or silica, which can be released into the air during work and settle over time. Additionally, if dust control measures were not strictly followed by certified contractors, this could lead to increased dust levels.

In the UAE context, it's crucial to adhere to local standards such as EN 15038 for indoor climate quality and EN 12761 for air permeability tests in buildings, which indirectly affect dust management. However, these standards don't directly address dust control during construction activities. Therefore, extra precautions are often necessary.

To tackle the issue, a comprehensive approach is recommended:

Firstly, consult with an environmental specialist who can conduct a thorough inspection of your living room to identify sources and assess the extent of contamination. In Dubai, Saniservice offers such professional services through their 800-MOLDS hotline or email at hello@saniservice.com.

Secondly, enhance ventilation in your home by ensuring proper air circulation systems are functioning correctly. This can be achieved by adjusting the HVAC settings or opening windows when weather permits to allow fresh air into the space.

Thirdly, consider using HEPA filters in your air conditioning units if available; these filters can capture fine particles that regular filters might miss.

Lastly, engage a professional cleaning service with expertise in dust control and remediation. They will have the necessary equipment and techniques to effectively clean surfaces without causing additional disturbance of settled dust.

Remember, addressing excessive dust post-renovation requires a holistic strategy combining immediate actions like increased ventilation and meticulous cleaning alongside long-term solutions such as regular maintenance checks by certified professionals.
