Heated garage in the winter season … will the garage be winter-proof?
On the contrary, using a radiator to ensure dry air in the garage can even be harmful. Although it is true that warm air absorbs more moisture than cold air, you would still have to ventilate the garage afterwards to allow the moisture to escape. In addition, a car should not be parked in a garage that is too warm. The large temperature differences between a warm garage and a cold outside temperature could even damage the vehicle under certain circumstances. Dehumidifiers are also not an ideal solution for a garage, as the costs are enormous in relation to the benefits.

There are more efficient solutions!
To get winter-related dampness under control, it is better to consider the innovative climate optimization tools from ZAPF when purchasing a new garage. Because clammy garage interiors are not a question of the interior temperature, but of good ventilation.
These are the recommendations of the ZAPF garage experts:
Eco garage ventilator
The eco garage fan ensures an optimum indoor climate in the garage even in winter temperatures. The stainless steel construction of the ventilator draws in the moist air from inside the garage with the slatted hood and transports it outside. The constant air circulation removes moisture from the air. This process is driven purely by the power of the wind, so the garage fan does not require any expensive electricity. This protects the environment and saves money at the same time. Note: Even at low wind speeds, the eco garage fan transports approx. 125 m³/h of humid air from inside the garage.

These special features ensure that the car dries quickly and moisture does not collect in the garage. However, the garage owner can also do a lot to protect the garage from moisture ingress during the cold season. For example, it is very important to remove snow, ice and leaves that have accumulated on your car before entering the garage.
In addition, no leaves or garden waste should be stored in the garage. Leaves that collect on the floor should also be swept away regularly. Ice and snow residues, which quickly accumulate on the garage floor in very cold weather, must be removed to avoid creating unnecessary sources of moisture in the garage.
With our garage configurator, you can easily and intuitively put together the size, fittings, doors, windows, and extras in just a few steps. We will then arrange a non-binding consultation with you, based on which you will receive an individual offer, naturally at a fair price and without any obligation to buy.
