Humidity control in warehouses, temporary structures, and self-storage facilities
Excessive humidity can damage your stored goods
An uncontrolled indoor climate, and particularly exposure to high relative humidity, can damage materials. Whether temporary or longer-term storage of goods, excessive moisture poses a threat both to the goods stored and to its packaging.
High moisture levels can promote the growth of mold, mildew, and fungi on stored items, especially porous materials like wood, paper, cardboard, and fabrics. It can also cause metal objects to rust and corrode, resulting in severe damage to machinery and storage equipment.
Assets damaged during storage can lead to significant financial losses both for the storage facility and for its customers. In fact, climate-controlled self-storage facilities typically attract more customers, since there is little risk of moisture-related damage.
With a customized humidity control solution in your warehouse, these risks can be avoided and the stored assets preserved both longer and shorter term.
Without efficient dehumidification you risk:
- Damage to goods and packaging, unnecessary waste
- Customer dissatisfaction and increased cost for compensation of damaged gods
- Regular maintenance to manually remove moisture from floors and shelves
- Excessive energy consumption
