Ideal humidity for improved health
An optimum humidity of 40-60%RH helps reduce airborne transmission of viruses, improves respiratory immune system response and significantly contributes to maintaining healthy skin, hair, eyes and vocal performance.
Enhance respiratory immune system
A relative humidity of 40 to 60% supports the human immune system and protects the respiratory tract from infections.
Prevent airborne cross-infection
Optimum humidity combats the transmission of viruses by reducing the infectivity and suspension time of viruses in the air.
Optimal humidity for restful sleep
Optimal humidity is crucial for restful sleep as it prevents drying of airways, respiratory issues and reduces snoring.
Animal and Pet welfare
Appropriate species-dependent humidity is a key part of providing a safe, comfortable and welfare-focused environment.
Prevent dry eyes
Controlled humidity between 40% and 60% prevents the tear film from evaporating and reduces eye irritation and discomfort.
Prevent Dry Skin
An optimal relative humidity of between 40% and 60% prevents the skin from becoming itchy, flaky and cracking through drying.
Healthy voice and vocal performance
An optimal humidity protects the mucous membranes of the vocal apparatus and prevents hoarseness, coughing and loss of voice.
