Preventing discolouration of walls and ceilings
◼
With a new fireplace or following renovation wait at least six months before
ignition. The building moisture must have completely vanished from walls, floor,
and ceiling.
◼
Burn as few candles and oil lamps as possible and keep the wick as short as
possible. Candles and oil lamps result in significant quantities of soot particles.
◼
Do not smoke indoors. Smoke from cigarettes and cigars contains, among other
things, tar substances, which, when heated, also settle on damp walls.
In a poor indoor climate, discolouration can also occur to a lesser extent above
radiators and light fittings and near ventilation grilles.
