You've found the European leader in climate control solutions
Powerful solutions that protect important documents from damage and deterioration.
From historic maps and ancient records to important photos and legal documents – you know just how vital it is to carefully control humidity levels and air quality in your archives to keep the fragile materials within perfectly preserved.
Professional dehumidifiers that stop moisture damage to paper-based collections. Sustainable ventilation that keeps buildings flush with fresh air. With decades of experience designing, manufacturing and supplying effective archive climate control, we have the solutions you need to protect your materials.
High humidity is one of the leading causes of damage to sensitive archival materials. Safeguard the condition of your inventory for generations to come with our professional range of condensation and adsorption dehumidifiers, all supplied to your exact needs.
Good air quality is essential to the health of your archivists, as well as the condition of your collections. Empower your teams to work their best and eradicate harmful pockets of stale, moist air with sustainable ventilation, engineered and supplied by the experts.
Due to their hygroscopic qualities, videotapes, photos, and paper-based materials easily absorb and release moisture from the atmosphere. To protect these documents, indoor air must be kept clean and at a consistent humidity, even as employees come and go, temperatures shift, and weather changes.
To handle this delicate but crucial task, Dantherm Group has been the go-to provider of specialist climate control systems for archives and preservation for decades. Built with efficiency, reliability, ease of use and sustainability at their core, our market-leading equipment safeguards crucial documents all over the world.
We understand that no two structures will demand the same storage solutions. That is why we take a consultative approach and recommend the most fitting technology to meet your preservation standards efficiently and cost-effectively.
In archives and preservation facilities, high relative humidities and a lack of fresh air can threaten the comfort and health of employees, as well as the productivity of people working on-site.
To keep teams happy, healthy and focused, a proactive climate management strategy that maintains air quality, eliminates mould growth, and keeps indoor atmospheres suitably dry is essential – something our robust range of dehumidifiers and ventilation systems helps you achieve.
Historic records. Legal documents. Archival footage. Few elements contribute to the deterioration of these materials as quickly as an unstable, improperly controlled climate.
Whether you need to conserve important research, protect culturally important images, or conserve irreplaceable heritage items, our sustainable dehumidifiers and high-performance ventilation systems help you safeguard your inventory with total confidence.
Archives are responsible for shielding critical business documents and important records from exposure to light, extreme temperatures, and unstable absolute humidities.
Discover commercial condense dehumidifiers and adsorption dehumidifiers and dryers manufactured by industry leaders, and ensure your preservation facilities are kept in top condition for years to come.
Some preservation centres rely on temperature control alone to mitigate the risk of moisture damage. But this approach is exceptionally costly, especially for large, densely populated archives.
Instead, dehumidifiers and ventilation units capture and physically remove unwanted moisture and contaminants at the source – a reliable, effective and sustainable practice that helps minimise the financial and environmental cost of your operations.

Sensitive archival materials can quickly break down and deteriorate when exposed to poor air quality, excess humidity, as well as high temperatures and uncontrolled light levels.
Environmental monitoring solutions and professional archive climate control technology safeguard these important documents by maintaining ideal conditions all year round, even as employees come and go, temperatures change, and outside conditions fluctuate.
Humidity and air quality impact the health of employees, as well as the integrity of an archive’s inventory. To create the perfect indoor climate, condense and adsorption dehumidifiers remove excess water vapour directly, while ventilation units renew air, preventing pockets of moisture from forming inside and causing damage.
High relative humidity is a common threat to archival materials, causing these fragile hygroscopic items to break down and deteriorate. At the other end of the scale, a lack of moisture in the air can also cause issues, allowing photos, paper and documents to dry out and become brittle.
But it is when relative humidity is allowed to fluctuate freely that these moisture problems are at their worst, as these sensitive objects will constantly absorb and release moisture, eroding their condition further.
There are numerous types of items an archive or preservation facility may store, each of which are best preserved in their own climates. For example, most books and manuscripts should be stored between a relative humidity of 45% and 55%, while videotapes are best kept between 30% and 50% RH, and photographs between 20% and 30% RH.
Closely monitoring and controlling key elements of the indoor climate helps facilities uphold the condition of their items long into the future in the most energy-efficient, cost-effective way possible.
This technology can also be employed to improve working conditions, empowering teams to perform to the best of their abilities too.
The ideal archive climate control solution for your preservation efforts will depend on the type of items you are storing, the size of your building, as well as the number of employees you accommodate, among other factors.
