Loft Dehumidifiers

Why Loft Humidity Control Matters

Roofs are usually prone to damage due to excess moisture. This is due to their structure being composed of wooden beams, rafters and sometimes insulation. Managing the humidity within a loft can help to preserve the structural integrity and reduce the risk of long-term damage to any stored materials or items. 

At National Heater Shops, the dehumidifiers we sell effectively reduce condensation build-up and prevent issues relating to damp conditions.

A damp or humid loft can lead to damage to internal structures and stored contents. Issues such as mould, rust or the degrading of structural elements such as wooden support beams. 

Ideally, a loft’s relative humidity should be between 50-60% to prevent mould or moisture related damage from occurring. A loft’s humidity can be affected by its insulation, whether it is occupied, and what time of year it is.

A vast majority of dehumidifiers we supply are also CE approved, and are therefore rated as being compliant with EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements.

Loft Dehumidifier FAQs

Why does my loft suffer from condensation?

Lofts often suffer from condensation as a result of warm air rising from living quarters. Due to the limited ventilation often present in lofts, the warm air leads to condensation which may then require a dehumidifier to remove. 

Will a loft dehumidifier reduce mould?

A loft dehumidifier can prevent mould from growing, as it removes the environment which it needs to grow. It does not, however, remove existing mould. 

How often does the water tank need emptying?

This greatly depends on the humidity level and unit capacity. Some models can be ducted outside to allow for continuous draining.
