When you need to store items for long-term storage, you may be in a bit of a frenzy to find just the right storage facility. It is a common misconception that all you need is secure space. In fact, you need a controlled environment as well as security to keep your items in pristine condition. But what exactly are the perfect conditions for long-term storage? BMS Moving & Storage is happy to share with you what we have learned from our decades of storage experience.
Temperature Control
One of the most important aspects of keeping your belongings in excellent condition is temperature control within your storage area. You want to make sure that you keep temperature-sensitive furniture or equipment within the recommended range to prevent damage. When you choose BMS Moving & Storage for your long-term storage needs, you can rest easy. Our storage facilities are completely temperature controlled to prevent your most prized belongings from being exposed to extreme temperatures.
What Are You Storing?
The ideal conditions for your items depend on what you are storing. Furniture or items that consist of natural materials will expand and contract with shifts in temperature. This constant expansion and contraction can lead to long-term wear and breakage. For example, wood furniture kept in long-term storage without adequate temperature control can begin to crack. If you have any valuable items or furniture, it is crucial that you seek out a long-term storage provider who provides temperature controls within their facilities. If you are planning to store the following items, you will need temperature-controlled storage:
- Wooden or leather furniture
- Appliances
- Collective items (coins, stamps, etc.)
- Books
- Musical instruments
- Artwork
- Wine
