Detecting and confirming mould is often quite an extensive task, with support from technicians that in many cases having to examine places and splittning it into pieces to locate the mould.

When the smoke alarm sounded at a hotel in Veendam, Netherlands, and was subsequently followed by a strong smell of smoke, staff quickly evacuated guests and called upon the emergency services to help.

The hydrotherapy facility in the Stranraer Academy serves an important purpose in the education of children with Severe and Complex Learning Difficulties. However, due to condensation and a failing air conditioning system, the facility had to be closed to prevent substantial water damage. Luckily, the Polygon UK team was able to provide a quick fix, so that the facility could remain usable until further repair can take place.

Polygon has joined forces with academic and industry partners in the construction sector to overcome the sustainability challenge presented by moisture damage in wooden buildings.

In November 2017, a devastating fire broke out in a property on Biblioteksgatan in central Stockholm, Sweden. The interior of a historic property was completely destroyed, while thankfully the stone façade, inspired by medieval architecture, remained. Work has now begun to build a new property inside the unique 120-year-old façade. The property owner, Hufvudstaden, has hired Polygon Sweden as the environmental coordinator and an advisor in moisture safety in this significant and spectacular project.
