Empty theatre gets a makeover with the help of our industrial dehumidifier hire and heating

After sitting empty for more than 30 years, an old theatre began renovations to bring it back to life. The contractors faced a challenge – the ceiling work needed strict temperature and humidity control in order for it to set properly. The work areas required 15-20°C temperatures and tight regulation of relative humidity.

Immediately after the initial call, a site survey was quickly arranged for the next day. In addition to the ceiling, comfort heating and material protection would be critical in other areas like the office and foyer. Regular surveys followed over the coming weeks, as the project’s complexity demanded tight coordination of power and logistics.
