Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need damp sticks, air vents, or both?

That depends on how your container is used and how much moisture you’re dealing with. Damp sticks work well in sealed containers, while vents help where airflow is needed. They can also be used together.

Are damp sticks and air vents suitable for long-term storage?

Yes. All our condensation control products are commonly used in containers that are stored for long periods and exposed to changing temperatures.

Are condensation control products suitable for converted containers?

Absolutely. They’re often used in workshops, site accommodation, and other converted containers to help manage moisture.

Which condensation control option is right for my container?

The best option depends on how your container is used, how often it’s accessed, and the environment it’s in. If you’re unsure, our team can help you choose the most suitable solution.

  Scarcroft and District Allotments Association in York have used two containers from Universal - one 20' unmodified new container as a store and one 40' new container insulated and supplied with electrics package and two secure windows and a secure accessible door as a shop- to replace their 50+ year-old wooden hut used as a shop and association base.  Shaun McWilliams (project engineer) has been our main contact at Universal with oversight and support from Carl Jeffries (project manager).  They have been hugely supportive through a long process.  Nothing has been too much trouble for Shaun, adapting plans and offering choices at every stage - always friendly, imaginative and flexible.  We'd recommend Universal without reservation for any project involving shipping containers.
