Do you carry temperature-sensitive items and have a high chance of being affected by adverse weather conditions? In that case, you should stay away from traditional storage facilities.

Traditional storage units are practical, functional, and they also get the job done. But, if you plan to store your items for an extended period or have items that are damaged from extreme temperatures, such as heat, and, or, humidity then climate-controlled units are your best bet as they are in high demand overall and have proven to keep your items safe and secure, even for a longer time. StoreIT offers climate-controlled self-storage solutions at competitive price points to address the specific issue of storing temperature-sensitive goods.

Is Climate-Controlled Storage Necessary?

Climate-controlled storage is a necessity for goods and items that require regulated temperatures in extreme weather conditions. Storage units are typically made of steel and they can become as hot as an oven. With Dubai’s hotter temperatures, it’s necessary to have climate-controlled infrastructure for self storage units.

Many self storage providers advertise climate controlled facilities, but very few offer StoreIT’s maximum 23˚C.

What Products Should You Keep in StoreIT Climate-Controlled Storage

Climate-controlled storage units in Dubai cost more than regular units, but the benefits of climate-controlled storage units are well worth the added cost. We highly recommend renting a climate-controlled unit if you want to store the following items.

Furniture

If you plan to store your furniture in a storage unit for several months or an extended period, we recommend renting a climate-controlled unit. Wood furniture will be ruined in a couple of weeks if it is stored in a humid environment. If you are storing your dressing table, drawers, or cupboard in a storage unit, keep in mind that humidity is the enemy of wood.

The same applies to original and fake leather; extreme heat or cold can have varied impacts and destroy your furniture items, making them useless. Spending money on a temperature-resistant storage unit and extra cost is preferable to losing all your costly furniture.

Clothing

Most people rent storage units to increase their storage space. They store seasonal clothing, accessories, and footwear. If you want to store your winter coats, boots, and scarves or your wedding gown, you will require a climate-controlled storage unit. Your garments will be as fresh as new without any smell or bad odor. Severe heat with humidity leads to mildew and mold on garments, which can destroy even the high-end ones.

Books and Artwork

If you are passionate about collecting paintings, art, and crafts, then the only option for you is a climate-controlled storage unit. There are some conditions if you want to keep the artwork in a storage unit; you will need to put all things in files and folders and keep all of them in cabinets. Nevertheless, a climate-controlled storage unit is a necessity and is highly recommended.

Paints, canvases, books, and pigments are susceptible to damage from extreme weather, UV light, and humidity. You don't want your valuable collection ruined to save some dirhams.

The optimal storage temperature for books, artwork, and paintings is 70-75°F and 50% humidity. This will keep everything in the same condition that you put it in when you originally stored it. A climate-controlled storage facility can easily maintain this temperature.

Electric Appliances

Individuals who are primarily moving put all their electronics and household goods into storage for a few months. You cannot risk your precious items being destroyed if you are one of these individuals.

Electric appliances are prone to getting dampened by humidity and moisture. Moisture accumulation within electric appliances is risky and has the potential to cause short circuits during use. Specialists highly advise selecting a climate-controlled storage facility for all home appliances and electrical devices.

Beauty Products, Cosmetics, & Miscellaneous Items

When moving, it's common to store beauty products, cosmetics, and other personal items for a few months. These items are delicate; exposure to extreme temperatures can damage them. High heat can cause melting or separation, while cold can lead to solidification or cracking. To protect your products and ensure they remain effective, it’s critical to opt for a climate-controlled storage facility.

Benefits Of Climate-Controlled Storage Facilities

Climate-controlled storage units guarantee that your items are protected by maintaining a specific temperature. Some of the benefits of climate-controlled storage units are as follows.

Better Air Control

Regardless of whether you choose indoor or outdoor storage spaces, maintaining better air quality is essential. Climate-controlled storage spaces feature built-in airways that maintain the temperature, resulting in significantly improved airflow. The regulated air and temperature in storage rooms provide a fresh and clean setting, so that every storage item remains in perfect condition.

Enhanced Security

Individuals place items in storage facilities for security and safety reasons. A purpose-built indoor storage facility with climate-controlled storage units is safer and more suitable for your peace of mind.

The Last Words

Now that you are aware of all aspects of storage units and have a clear understanding of their usability, we recommend proceeding with choosing one that meets your storage needs, especially if you have temperature-sensitive products requiring temp-controlled storage.

For temperature-sensitive items, StoreIT provides climate-controlled units with humidity control to protect your belongings while preventing mildew, mold, moisture damage, and yes, theft!
