What Items Need Climate Controlled Storage?
Climate controlled storage can be a great tool for preserving and protecting your possessions. But what items should you be storing in a climate controlled environment? Here are some of the most common items that benefit from climate controlled storage.
Wooden Furniture
Wooden furniture is particularly sensitive to temperature and humidity changes. In a climate-controlled storage unit, you can store furniture without having to worry about it warping, cracking, or otherwise becoming damaged due to extreme heat or cold.
Leather Furniture
Like wooden furniture, leather furniture is also sensitive to temperature and humidity changes. Storing leather furniture in a climate controlled environment will help prevent it from becoming cracked or brittle.
Electronics
Electronics are particularly vulnerable to temperature changes and can be easily damaged by extreme heat or cold. Storing electronics in a climate controlled environment will help to protect them from potential damage.
Antiques and Collectibles
Antiques and collectibles can be easily damaged by temperature changes. Storing them in a climate controlled environment can help to preserve them and ensure that they retain their value.
Artwork
Artwork is particularly sensitive to humidity changes. Storing it in a climate controlled environment can help to protect it from becoming damaged due to extreme heat or cold, as well as from becoming discolored due to humidity changes.
Clothing
Clothing can also be damaged by extreme heat and cold. Storing it in a climate controlled environment can help to preserve it and prevent it from becoming damaged or discolored due to temperature changes.
Climate controlled storage can be a great way to protect your possessions from extreme temperature and humidity changes. By storing items like wooden and leather furniture, electronics, antiques and collectibles, artwork, and clothing in a climate controlled environment, you can help to ensure that they remain in good condition for years to come.
