The risks of high humidity within PVC gymnasiums
One of the main issues within single skinned PVC gymnasiums is high humidity. This not only creates an unpleasant environment, but also results in potential health and safety risks. The most common hazards being:
- Slip hazards caused by moisture condensing on concrete floors
- Slip hazards from dripping water on overhead steel supports
- Health risks from mold and mildew spores, forming as a result of relative humidity being above 70%
Maintaining an ideal environment within PVC gymnasiums
