Climate-Controlled Storage

Preserving Your Belongings with Climate-Controlled Storage Units

As a leading storage facility, Smart Self Storage takes pride in understanding the unique needs of items that require specific temperature and humidity levels to maintain their optimal condition. Whether you need to store delicate artwork, paperwork, or sensitive electronics, a climate-controlled space provides the ideal environment to keep your belongings safe and secure. 

With state-of-the-art temperature and humidity monitoring systems, you can have peace of mind knowing that your valuable possessions are being stored in the best possible conditions, preserving their quality for years to come.

The Benefits of Climate-Controlled Storage

Investing in climate-controlled storage is more than just keeping your belongings cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It's about ensuring the longevity of your items, from valuable antiques to sensitive documents and even vehicle storage.
 

Climate-Controlled Storage Offers Numerous Benefits:

• Protection from extreme temperatures
• Defense against dampness and mold growth
• Dust and pest control
• Enhanced security features
• Peace of mind knowing your belongings are safe

Climate-Controlled Storage Units Vs. Non-Climate Controlled Storage

When choosing a unit, it's essential to understand the differences between climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled storage facilities.

Climate-Controlled Storage

A Climate-Controlled Storage unit maintains consistent temperature and humidity throughout the year. This means that regardless of what's happening outside, whether it's a sweltering summer heatwave or a bone-chilling winter frost, the conditions inside your storage unit remain stable.

This type of storage is ideal for sensitive items that extreme temperatures or high humidity levels could potentially damage. 

For example, antique furniture can crack or warp in high heat, while electronics can suffer damage from condensation associated with high humidity levels.

Temperature-controlled storage units are also often better sealed than their non-climate-controlled counterparts, meaning they're more likely to keep out dust, pests, and other potential threats to your stored belongings.

Non-Climate Controlled Storage

On the other hand, non-climate-controlled storage units do not regulate temperature or humidity levels. They offer a simple, sheltered space for your belongings, protecting them from rain, snow, and direct sunlight but not from temperature fluctuations or humidity.

While this type of storage might be suitable for items that aren't sensitive to changes in temperature or humidity, such as garden tools or patio furniture, they may not provide adequate protection for more delicate or valuable items.

Items Ideal for a Climate-Controlled Storage Unit

Not all items require the same level of care regarding storage space. Some are more resilient, while others are sensitive to environmental factors like temperature and humidity. For these delicate items, climate-controlled storage is often the best solution. 
 

Items that Significantly Benefit from Climate-Controlled Storage:

• Electronics: Devices such as televisions, computers, gaming consoles, and cameras can be damaged by extreme temperatures or high humidity. Climate-controlled storage helps prevent condensation that can cause short circuits and corrosion.
• Wood and Leather Furniture: Wooden items can crack, warp, or rot under fluctuating temperatures and humid conditions. Similarly, leather can become discolored or develop mold. Temperature control maintains a consistent environment that protects these materials.
• Photographs: Old photos can stick together, fade, or discolor if exposed to high humidity or extreme temperatures. A climate-controlled environment will help preserve these precious memories.
• Musical Instruments: Instruments, particularly those made from wood, can warp, crack, or even have their sound quality impacted by changes in temperature and humidity levels.
• Artwork: Paintings, sculptures, and other artwork can be vulnerable to damage from environmental conditions. High humidity can cause mold growth, while temperature fluctuations can lead to cracking or warping.
• Collectibles: Items such as comic books, stamps, coins, sports memorabilia, and other collectibles need a stable environment to maintain their condition and value.
• Important Documents: Papers can yellow, ink can fade, and material can degrade in high humidity or fluctuating temperatures. Climate-controlled storage can help preserve important documents like contracts, certificates, and legal papers.
• Vehicles: Classic cars, motorcycles, RVs, and boats can all benefit from climate-controlled storage. It can protect against rust, tire damage, and mechanical problems caused by temperature extremes.
