How does Temperature and Humidity affect Fine Art?
Museums and galleries are monitored by conservationists seeking to prevent damage to works of art caused by humidity and temperature changes; so why is it so important to consider the temperature and relative humidity conditions for long-term art storage?
Climate Controlled Vault Storage
Wherever you’re based, Grace facilities provide you with secure, climate-controlled and monitored vault storage for memorabilia, fine art, archival material and other items requiring higher security or with sensitive storage requirements.
Our insulated climate vaults feature temperature and humidity control at 21 Degrees Celcius and 50% relative humidity. Access is restricted to selected Grace staff on a needs-only basis and is strictly controlled via security doors, CCTV recording and the use of proximity cards. Items placed into climate controlled storage are tracked with unique barcodes, so we always know where to find your valuable items when its time to for inspection or retrieval.
Monitored climate control at every stage
