Humidity control in warehouses and self-storage facilities
Excess humidity puts your stored goods at risk
When indoor conditions aren’t properly controlled—especially when relative humidity runs high—your stored items can take a hit. Whether you’re handling short-term or long-term storage, too much moisture threatens both the goods themselves and their packaging.
High humidity encourages mold, mildew, and fungal growth on porous materials like wood, paper, cardboard, and textiles. It can also trigger rust and corrosion on metal parts, causing costly damage to machinery, shelving, and other equipment.
Moisture-related damage doesn’t just impact your inventory—it can lead to real financial loss for both your facility and your customers. That’s why climate-controlled storage continues to draw more business: clients trust environments that protect what they store.
Without effective dehumidification, you risk:
- Damage to goods and packaging, leading to unnecessary waste
- Customer dissatisfaction and higher compensation costs
- Regular maintenance to manually remove moisture from floors and shelving
- Higher energy use and inefficient operations

Control humidity in your warehouse or temporary storage facility
Effective humidity control is essential to ensure minimal deterioration of material and damage to goods stored. An environment with Relative Humidity (RH) below 50% RH typically preserves most materials.
Munters’ energy-efficient humidity-control systems are designed to deliver precise humidity control at optimal levels depending on the goods stored, and to minimize required maintenance. In most warehouses, the main problem is excessive moisture. Then, producing dry air with a desiccant dehumidifier is the most reliable way to protect your stored goods.
Depending on where your warehouse is situated in the world and the time of year, dehumidification or humidification may be needed to keep the optimal level of humidity stable. All Munters systems feature real-time monitoring of humidity and temperature and will adapt its air treatment to balance the fluctuations in the ambient air, thereby ensuring energy-efficient operations.
For added peace of mind, Munters’ dehumidifiers can be equipped with Munters AirC Connect for remote control. This cloud-based solution makes it possible to monitor, adjust settings, and get alarm notifications remotely on your mobile phone or desktop computer.
Comprehensive solutions for different types of storage facilities
Humidity is a problem for any type of storage facility, whether it is a permanent building or a temporary construction, and independently of the size of the room and the type of goods stored. Installing an energy-efficient dehumidification system is usually the best way to ensure a constant, optimal climate which will preserve the assets during storage.
