Why humidity and temperature control matters

Paintings, paper, textiles, film and wood are sensitive to humidity. Fluctuations make materials expand and contract, crack and grow mould, and film vaults and archives must be kept stable to last as long as possible.

Our recommended approach

DST desiccant dehumidifiers hold low humidity steadily even at low room temperatures, ideal for film vaults and archives, combined with THERMOLEC heaters and VAPAC humidifiers when both directions need control.
