When you think of home comforts, you might picture a soft throw, the warmth of a cuppa, or the glow of a lamp on a cosy evening. But there’s something even more essential to your comfort and wellbeing at home: the air you breathe.
If your home isn’t equipped with proper air treatment solutions, chances are you’re missing out on cleaner, healthier air. Whether it’s a persistent musty smell, condensation on your windows, or allergy symptoms that seem worse indoors, poor air quality often goes unnoticed, but it can make a big difference to how you feel day-to-day.
Thankfully, we’re here to help. We’ve led the way in innovative homeware since 1964, and our air treatment range is no exception. From whisper-quiet dehumidifiers to powerful air purifiers, we’ve got everything you need to tackle damp, reduce allergens, and breathe easier.
According to the World Health Organisation, we spend up to 90% of our time indoors, and more than half of that is at home. Indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, filled with particles we can’t see but can feel. This includes:
Without proper ventilation and air treatment systems, these particles linger, settling into soft furnishings and recirculating through your home. For those with asthma or allergies, or anyone who values a fresher, more comfortable space, improving indoor air quality isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s essential.
Poor indoor air quality has been linked to respiratory issues, fatigue, headaches, and even reduced sleep quality. It can also contribute to the growth of mould, which releases spores that are harmful to breathe in over time.
Air treatment refers to any method or appliance used to improve the quality, cleanliness and comfort of indoor air. It encompasses:
The two key players in air treatment at home are dehumidifiers and air purifiers.
Both help create a more comfortable, healthier home, and they often work best when used together.
Still not sure if you need a dehumidifier or an air purifier for your home? Spotting just one or two of these signs could mean it’s time to invest in better air:
We get this question a lot, and the answer lies in the problem you’re solving:
In homes where both damp and allergens are concerns (which is common in older housing), using both an air purifier and dehumidifier in tandem is ideal.
Whether you’re trying to cut down on condensation, reduce allergens, or just want your home to feel fresher, choosing the right air purifier or dehumidifier starts with knowing what to look for.
Here are a few key features to consider:
Once you’ve narrowed down what matters most to you, it’s much easier to pick the right appliance for your home. For example, allergy sufferers might prioritise an air purifier with a multi-layer HEPA filter, while those battling damp might prefer a dehumidifier with a large-capacity water tank.
Why choose when you can have both? Our Lakeland Dehumidifier and Air Purifier brings two technologies together in one sleek, compact design, featuring:
It’s the perfect all-in-one solution to improve air treatment at home, especially in multi-use spaces where moisture and allergens are both present.
Even with regular cleaning, indoor air can contain invisible irritants. A compact air purifier is an excellent choice for:
Look for a HEPA air purifier if allergies are a concern, or an activated carbon air purifier to combat odours. A portable air purifier lets you clean the air in different rooms as needed.
Many air purifiers also include features like air quality sensors, automatic fan speed adjustment, and filter life indicators. Remember to replace filters as recommended to maintain performance.
Damp is a common issue in homes, especially in winter. Signs include peeling paint, musty smells, and cold-feeling walls. A dehumidifier for damp is one of the most effective ways to tackle these problems.
Dehumidifiers also help protect furniture, prevent mould regrowth, and reduce dust mite populations (which thrive in humid conditions).
Moisture can affect every corner of your home. That’s why we offer clever solutions for targeted areas.
For households drying laundry indoors (which many of us do during the winter), placing a dehumidifier or moisture trap nearby can significantly speed up drying time and reduce the risk of mould.
Mould isn’t just unsightly; it can pose serious health risks (particularly to those with respiratory conditions). Prevention starts with humidity control, but if mould does appear, tackle it quickly with specialist cleaners:
Pair these with a good air treatment system to keep your home fresh and mould-free year-round.
An air purifier works by drawing in air, passing it through one or more filters (usually HEPA and carbon), and trapping airborne particles like dust, pollen, smoke, and pet dander. The purified air is then released back into the room — cleaner and fresher.
A dehumidifier removes moisture from the air to help tackle condensation, damp patches, and mould. The air is pulled in, the water is extracted and collected in a tank, and drier air is released back into the room. Great for preventing musty smells and protecting clothes, walls and furniture.
The size you need depends on the room. For small rooms, a compact dehumidifier (around 10L capacity) should be enough. For larger or particularly damp areas, like utility spaces or bathrooms, look for something 20L or more. The more moisture it can collect, the more effective it’ll be.
Yes, it captures dust particles from the air before they settle, so it can help reduce the amount of dust on your surfaces and in the air. It’s especially useful if you have allergies, pets, or just want to cut down on cleaning.
