Merely enclosing your vehicle within a protective bubble will only keep it clean, but will not protect it against moisture damage.

The moisture in the surrounding air adversely affects the materials. Moisture in the air, not temperature, causes rust.

Poor storage conditions create mould and damp smells indoors due to excess moisture in the air.

Moisture also affects leather interiors, causing cracking, weakness, and mould growth.

Rubber seals perish quickly due to moisture exposure.

Energy-efficient methods for reducing moisture in the air are available.The only way to control humidity effectively is by eliminating excess moisture.

Over the past 25 years, we have gained a thorough comprehension of humidity and its impact on our clients. This knowledge has enabled us to develop as a business and extend support to all our associates. Considering the benefits of humidity control for tanks protected with 250 mm of armour plating, as recognised by the MOD, it becomes evident that maintaining an appropriate environment for storing classic cars is crucial.

Fun fact: China experiences an average humidity level of 80% RH, making it one of the most humid nations globally. High levels of humidity in the atmosphere can cause corrosion, deteriorate materials, warp them, weaken them and promote the growth of mould.    These findings are based on data collected by ASHRAE, which is responsible for collecting independent weather information from around the globe. However, what impact does this have on your vehicle?

The corrosion

of metals, including steel, begins at 40% relative humidity, and the rate of corrosion increases significantly above 60% RH. Controlling the air and surrounding humidity is essential to prevent visible or concealed corrosion and maintain a polished finish without dullness or tarnishing. Please refer to the Steel Corrosion Graph for further details.
