modular furniture - UV light, which is particularly damaging to wood and fabrics, can be screened out by applying a UV-filtering film to windows. furni_ture can also be affected by the amount of moisture in the air. Wood and other organic materials respond to changes in relative humidity (RH) by expanding or contracting as they try to maintain equilibrium with the moisture in the environment. Ideally, RH levels should be maintained within a 40%-60% range. If the RH is too high (above 70%) wood and other materials expand. If they are constrained in any way, they may split upon shrinking when the RH drops to a lower level. furni_ture finishes are also affected

as differences between the response of wood and its coating to changes in RH may eventually cause a coating to detach. A prolonged high humidity environment will also promote the possibility of mold growth and insect infestation. To prevent damage, place furni_ture in areas of minimum temperature and RH extremes, thereby avoiding attics, basements, active fireplaces and heating vents. Monitoring temperature and RH in an environment can be done with small, inexpensive thermometers and hygrometers purchased at electronic or hardware stores. When necessary, the RH can be modified to stay within acceptab_le ranges through the use of humidifiers and dehumidifiers.
