Ceiling Pladur® NEO

Water vapour production in a building depends on the number of occupants, room use, ventilation and the heating system.
High levels of humidity can be the cause of numerous problems, such as mould, condensation and poor air quality, which affect occupants’ health and the sustainability of the building.
