8 Items that Require Climate Controlled Storage Facilities

Storage unit facilities have sprung up across the country as their popularity continues to explode, especially among the rental community. With their growth in demand, the variety of different options has also progressed. No matter where you live, a substantial benefit to look for is storage facilities that offer climate-controlled storage. These facilities control both the temperature and humidity level in each unit. This type of storage unit allows you to safely store a number of items that would become damaged or destroyed in a non-climate-controlled unit. Here are eight things that will benefit from climate-controlled storage:

1. Wood Furniture – When most types of wood are exposed to high levels of humidity or extremes in heat or cold, they tend to crack, warp, and rot. Climate controlled storage facilities keep your furniture stored safely for as long as needed.
2. Furniture Covered with Leather – Leather does not do very well when exposed to extremes in temperature and humidity. These extremes can cause your leather furniture to become discolored or cracked.
3. Works of Art – Fine art is a significant investment and should be treated as such. Humidity can make these precious valuables worthless, therefor they shoud be stored in a climate-controlled environment to preserve them.
4. Musical Instruments – When it comes to musical instruments, all members of the string section (guitars, violins, etc.), all reed instruments (clarinet, oboe, etc.), and most members of the brass section (trumpet, trombone, tuba, etc.) need to be stored in a controlled environment.
5. Household Appliances – Most of your household appliances (stove, fridge, washer, dryer, etc.) have steel and rubber components that can become damaged when not properly stored in climate-controlled storage facilities.
6. Electronics – Today’s electronics such as laptops, computers, TVs, etc. are extremely sensitive to extremes in temperature and high levels of humidity. When your storage unit is climate-controlled, your electronics are safe and sound until you need them.
7. Collections – For those who like to collect rare items (wines, coins, stamps, books, comic books, etc.) you must use storage facilities that can provide you with a safe storage environment.
8. Bedding – To be more specific mattresses and box springs do not fare well in an area that exposes them to high temperatures and high levels of humidity. These conditions are perfect for mold to start growing, ruining their quality.
