Moisture Traps & Collectors
Have you noticed condensation on the insides of windows, or on walls or surfaces of your home? Do you regularly find damp patches, or worse mould or mildew? If you do, you have too much moisture in the air. Excess moisture can wreak havoc. It can damage your possessions, your furniture, the structure of your home and even your health. And whilst opening windows can help, moisture often collects in problem areas. For these areas you need a moisture trap.
A moisture trap or collector is a small moisture absorbing device that doesn’t need to be plugged in and that can be placed pretty much anywhere in your home. They’re an ideal way to soak up excess water to protect your home, your possession, and your health.
Why is too much moisture bad for your home and you?
Excess moisture can cause paint and wallpaper to discolour and peel. Soft furniture and wood can begin to rot, while moisture can even damage walls and brickwork.
Moisture can harm electrical components in everything from TVs, computers and phones. It can ruin clothes too. Excess moisture also encourages mould and mildew to grow that can harm your health.
Moisture traps for problem areas in your home
Moisture traps – also called damp traps, moisture catchers, moisture absorbers or damp collectors – are small devices that soak up excess moisture from the air around them. Rather than running on electricity, like most dehumidifiers, moisture traps don’t need to be powered. They trap moisture using replaceable absorbent materials, like crystals or cartridges.
Whilst they’re small in size, damp traps can absorb an impressive amount of excess moisture. The size of a large shoebox, this Lakeland moisture trap can take up to a litre of water.
Because moisture traps are small and inconspicuous, and because they don’t need to be plugged in, they can be placed pretty much anywhere. They’re ideal for problem areas, and can easily be slid behind the toilet or in the corner of a kitchen.
Some of our moisture absorbers even add scented moisture capture materials, meaning they can banish musty smells and unwanted odours alongside capturing excess water.
Mini moisture absorbers for awkward areas
Moisture traps are ideal for secreting away in corners of problem rooms. But for even tighter nooks and crannies, you need an even smaller solution. Yes, you need an even smaller moisture trap.
This Mini Moisture & Condensation Trap is small enough to fit into the tightest of tight spaces and cupboards but can soak up a decent 125ml of water. Whilst our No Spill Hanging Moisture Traps are specially designed to be placed in drawers or hung in wardrobes to protect clothes and other fabrics.
Our range of moisture traps are a great way to reduce humidity levels in problem areas, protecting your home, your possessions and your health. Whilst you’re browsing our selection of moisture traps and condensation catchers, take a look at our full range of dehumidifiers and air purifiers too.
