Living in the Canadian Maritimes, humidity is a constant struggle. There is too much in the summer and too little in the winter. In the winter a regulated humidifier is utilized to prevent drying and in the summer a regulated dehumidifier is used to provide moisture. Both are of a decent quality and set to intervene when the humidity dips above or below 50%. One of the best investments to be made, is to purchase a digital humidity and temperature gauge. If it stays between 40 and 60% with the magic number being 50% humidity, artifacts will be relatively stable with no mould, shrinkage, or formation of rust. If the humidity is outside of these boundaries, then a humidifier for the winter and a dehumidifier for the summer is the only option. | | |
