How Do I Stop Condensation in a Warehouse?

Warehouse condensation forms on cold metal roofs and steel walls when their surface temperature falls below the dew point of the internal air. Large roof areas with low thermal mass cool rapidly overnight, and moisture condenses onto the steel — dripping onto stored goods, racking and floors.

To stop condensation in a warehouse you need to raise the surface temperature of the cold roof and walls above the dew point. A spray-applied natural cork thermal coating applied directly to the metal substrate adds a thin thermal layer that improves the surface temperature without significantly reducing internal clearance.

By improving the thermal behaviour of the cold surfaces, an appropriate VIPEQ thermal coating can help reduce the conditions that lead to condensation — protecting stock and creating a safer, drier warehouse environment.
