Being a natural material the problems with mold in wood originate from these factors: Material Properties the wood contains elements like starch, protein, and cellulose. These give mold the nutrients it needs.
Ambient Humidity: It is when humi dity in the wood is greater than 20%, or the ambient humidity over 60% (especially during the wet season or in humid and hot Southern regions).
Air Circulation: The closed environment can increase the growth of anaerobic bacterial and can cause the development of mold.
Treatment: The wood that has not been treated can be prone to rust when it is in humid conditions.
Wooden partitions that are not treated can become brown and moldy when in moist environments. However, it can be prevented by using professional methods to prevent mold.
1. Control of Sources: Selected Materials and Processes
The strictest drying method is to keep the content of moisture in wood to less than 12 percent in order to minimize the likelihood of mold growth within the wood's source.
Professional Mold Repellant Immersion: Water-based non-toxic mold repellent applied through soaking or brushing to create a protective layer which prevents the growth of mold when the environment is humid.
Surface Material Upgrade: Optional fireproof/multi-layer boards are treated with an anti-mold coating for enhanced water and stain resistance. Sealing Strips: Specially designed sealing strips are put on the edges of walls to prevent water penetration and increase the sealing.
2. Structural Optimization: Moisture Proof Design
Telescopic Adjustment Walls: are able to be retracted or extended 20-30mm in order to support uneven flooring, which will prevent cracks or seepage of water because of the uneven pressure.
Aluminium Alloy Frame: using high-hardness 6065-T6 aluminum alloy and reinforced with foam that blocks sound, it is both water-resistant and stable.
Environmental Control: Keep indoor humidity at or below 60 percent. Make use of a dehumidifier and quicklime to wick away moisture. Make sure to open windows frequently for air circulation and keep out of tight spaces.
Cleaning and Maintenance: Cleanse the area regularly using the help of a soft cloth in order to reduce dust build-up. The stubborn stains may be cleaned with a dilute mixture of vinegar and white dishwashing detergent Then, wipe clean.
Regular Inspection: The sealing strips on a regular basis for quality and then replace any worn components as soon as possible. If moldy spots of minor severity occur, use an inhibitor of mildew to treat the area.
Baker's modular partition walls give three guarantees of anti-mildew treatment based on the source, optimized structural design as well as environmentally friendly material that completely eliminate the blackening and mold issues. In the humid south or in the northern dry region they will keep their beauty and last over the years, giving the peace of mind and security.
