I ventilated my built-ins
I ventilated my built-ins
Hundred year old built in cabinets are wonderful but were completely sealed...not anymore
A good practice to avoid mold. I drill holes in mine.
"oh yeah, speed holes"
They make the closet go faster
Looks nice. What’s the ventilation for? Are you in a really humid climate or something?
Florida
That’ll do it, great work!
That is actually so good
Looks great! Maybe stupid question, but what does ventilating fix? Aka, why are sealed built-ins an issue?
Mouse sweat is a way better answer but... We store linens up there and my wife says it stinks.
I live in a semi tropical zone in a house with built in wardrobes, we leave the doors open otherwise we get literal mold growing on even clean clothing ... I think the people who built this house were from a non-tropical area, it's full of things like this
Yeah that does seem odd. Cabinets, closets, and cupboards don't generally require ventilation. What little ventilation they require is provided by the fact that their doors aren't air tight.
I think that’s a humidity thing.
Anyone living in a desert biome? U get that problem too?
Is this because you have electronics in there? Is it active venting (fans) or passive?
Just linens but it's so well sealed that they get musty
Mould loves an environment like that was before, ventilation helps a lot.
I also live in an antique house and our built is also have vents, but I've never quite been sure the utility
