Insights
Every building teaches you something.
Over the last decade, we've investigated hundreds of properties, and no two have been exactly the same. Mould Focus Insights is where we share some of the lessons we've learned along the way. These articles combine practical experience, building science and the knowledge we've gained through continual learning to explore mould, moisture and indoor environmental conditions. Our aim isn't to claim all the answers, but to share what we've learned in the hope that it helps others better understand their buildings and make more informed decisions before taking action.
What Are Mycotoxins?
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring compounds produced by certain moulds under specific conditions. Learn what they are, why they matter and why finding mould doesn't automatically mean mycotoxins are present.
Why does mould grow in buildings?
A clear understanding of how mould develops is the first step towards solving it correctly. In most cases, mould is not the problem itself, but the visible result of a building providing the conditions it needs to grow.
