Classic car storage
Preserve and protect classic cars
Safeguard classic car condition and value with Munters climate control systems. Unregulated humidity levels can cause rust, mold, corrosion and electrical issues. Experience peace of mind while keeping your classic cars in top condition with a Munters dehumidifier to control garage humidity levels.
Exposure to high relative humidity can damage classic cars. Maintaining relative humidity levels below 50% keeps most materials intact, unaffected by moisture in the air. Producing dry air with a desiccant dehumidifier is a reliable way to protect valuable classic car collections stored in garages, no matter the weather.

Classic car garages
Keep your classic cars in top condition. But even classic cars in the best garages with the most diligent mechanics are susceptible to damage caused by moisture in the air. High humidity levels can result from fluctuations in outdoor temperatures, heating and air conditioning systems, or rain or foot traffic.
Maintaining optimum relative humidity levels in your garage is crucial to preventing moisture damage. High humidity levels can cause mold to grow on leather seats and lead to corrosion on metal surfaces. Keeping the indoor climate at a relative humidity of 45-50% helps protect classic cars from these issues, eliminate musty odors and ensure they are always ready for the road.
Corrosion prevention
Metal oxidizes due to moisture in the air, causing corrosion. In most locations worldwide, relative humidity exceeds 75%, on average, causing a thin layer of water vapor to settle on metal surfaces.
Take control using Munters dehumidification to reduce relative humidity indoors to 45-50% by inhibiting steel corrosion, thereby reducing potential damage and related maintenance costs. Cutting off the supply of electrolytes minimizes corrosion, saving time and money.
Mold defense
Even the most meticulous vintage, antique and classic car enthusiasts can’t escape the damaging effects of moisture in the air. Temperature changes can increase humidity levels, leading to potential problems with prized classic cars.
If relative humidity rises above 55%, the risk of mold and bacterial growth increases, potentially causing musty odors, metal corrosion and deterioration of leather and cloth seats. Protect classic cars from mold, bacteria and corrosion by maintaining optimal relative humidity.
Don’t rely on temperature control to keep relative humidity levels in check. Use a Munters dehumidifier to keep your garage dry and free of moisture. Not only will this keep your classic car in top condition, but it will also help eliminate any potential health hazards from mold and bacterial growth.
Electrical failure prevention
Munters dehumidification systems can help protect classic cars from electrical and electronic failures due to excessive humidity. Our advanced climate control solutions remove moisture from the air, keeping your vehicles in optimal condition.

Dehumidification – the best solution for classic car storage
Exposure to high relative humidity can damage classic cars. A garage dehumidifier from Munters effectively removes moisture from the air, enabling precise humidity control in your garage.
Munters dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air using a desiccant wheel, which easily attracts and holds water vapor. Air passes through the rotor or drying wheel structure, and the hygroscopic desiccant silica gel absorbs the water vapor. The air leaving the rotor is dry.
