Internal Treatments and Coatings
MGC Mould Treatments
Properties, regardless of their construction, have mould spores within the fabric, which are dormant and completely harmless, until they are given the right conditions to germinate resulting in extensive growths of black disfiguring mould. Mould arises in homes as a result of dampness; the main cause is condensation, although a small number of cases occur due to - rising damp, penetrating damp, bursts and leaks.Mould in houses, even a small contamination, is a serious health risk which can result in asthma and other respiratory diseases. Mould also attacks foodstuffs resulting in dangerous toxins which in turn can give rise to food poisoning. MGC Mould Treatments, Fungicidal Paint/Paste Additives and Fungicidal Paints and Coatings are approved under C.O.P.R 1986 by the Health and Safety Executive. MGC products provide a proven and effective solution for the eradication and prevention of mould problems, even in the most severe situation.
