Repair and health – why is it important for children and the elderly?
The apartment is not only a space to live in – it is a place where we breathe, rest and regenerate. Therefore, the technical state of the interior has a direct impact on our health, and in particular on the health of children and the elderly – i.e. those most sensitive to pollution, moisture and dust.
1. Clean air and less allergens
In old paints, uneven walls and damaged floors, they often accumulate:
- dust,
- mite,
- allergens,
- And even mold spores, especially in damp rooms.
Children who are only developing their respiratory system and seniors with impaired immunity are particularly exposed to infections, allergies or chronic cough. Regular painting (using safe, odourless paints) and removal of moisture and mold significantly improves air quality and reduces the risk of health problems.
2. Safe and ergonomic interior
Repair is also an opportunity to adjust the interior to the needs of the household:
- for children – eliminate sharp edges, take care of non-slip floors, well illuminate the space for learning and fun,
- for seniors – take care of better lighting, bathroom handles, eliminate thresholds and other barriers.
As a result, everyday operation at home becomes safer and more comfortable.
3. Less moisture, less health problems
The damp walls, poor ventilation or cracks in the walls are a simple way to form moulds and fungi that are very dangerous to health – especially the respiratory system and skin. The fungus in the apartment can cause: shortness of breath, headache, fatigue, allergic reactions.
Repair allows to remove sources of moisture and to use appropriate protections (e.g. paints with antifungal properties), which is crucial especially in homes where children or seniors live.
