Climate Controlled Storage and Protection from Extreme Temperatures

As we’ve discussed in previous articles, temperatures can wreak havoc on your belongings. Temperature extremes, in fact, are quiet saboteurs. Heat accelerates chemical reactions in finishes and plastics. Cold can make brittle materials crack. A climate controlled storage space holds a steady range to keep materials stable. Wood furniture, for example, behaves like a sponge. It expands with heat and moisture, then contracts when it’s cool and dry, which leads to warping and joint failure over time. Electronics dislike both ends of the spectrum. Overheating degrades components, while cold can draw in condensation once the device warms again.

Here is an example of what makes climate controlled storage space a more viable option vs outdoor storage space for valuables and sensitive items. If you were to store a solid oak table and a box of old camcorders in a standard outdoor storage unit from August through February, by spring, the tabletop could start to have a slight cup, and the camcorder battery packs could be deemed unreliable. Take the same items, same duration, but keep them in a climate controlled storage space and the and the wood stays flat, and the electronics don’t suffer the thermal stress that shortens life.
