Dehumidifiers for Storage Rooms, Sheds, and Warehouses
A storage room is a place where you want to keep items safe without them being damaged by moisture, starting to smell, or, in the worst case, being attacked by mold or rot. Whether it’s old furniture, books, textiles, crafts, Christmas decorations, or summer outdoor furniture, it’s important to protect them from excessive humidity. A great solution is to install a dehumidifier to control the relative humidity.
Why Does Moisture Occur in Storage Rooms?
Moisture in storage rooms can arise for several reasons. Often, people keep the temperature lower in a storage room because it may feel unnecessary to heat a space that isn’t used regularly. Cool basement or attic storage rooms can be particularly prone to moisture. Many storage rooms are also uninsulated sheds detached from the main building, which makes them even more vulnerable to moisture.
Condensation occurs when warm, humid air cools down, for instance, when it rises to a cold attic. Common causes include poor ventilation, insulation issues, or other defects, such as problems with sealing or construction. Additionally, climate, temperature fluctuations, poor drainage, and ground moisture can lead to moisture problems.
Preventing Moisture
The best way to prevent moisture in a storage room is to lower the relative humidity. Raising the temperature by a few degrees can make a big difference. Also, ensure proper ventilation so the air is regularly exchanged, or invest in a dehumidifier, which is the simplest solution if you don’t want to increase the temperature. However, remember that if you already have rot or mold, you must address the root cause first.
A Desiccant Dehumidifier Keeps Your Storage Room Dry and Fresh
Energy-efficient desiccant dehumidifiers are perfect for storage rooms and keep the humidity in check. They use desiccant technology, making them very effective in lower temperatures and ideal for cooler environments like storage rooms. With a hygrometer or control panel, you have full control over the humidity level, with alarms indicating if the environment is too humid. This prevents microbial growth, keeping the space and your belongings dry and fresh.
For smaller spaces like a storage room, our dehumidifier EvoDry 6H 2.0 is an excellent choice. It’s compact, efficient, easy to install, and suitable for up to 100 m³. If you need to dehumidify a larger area, you can choose one of our more powerful models, like EvoDry RCF 12 G1. All our dehumidifiers come with a three-year return-to-base warranty.
