Advantages of an Indoor Storage Space

Advantages of an Indoor Storage Space

Are you looking to rent storage now or in the future? If so, we are continuing our series of articles on the advantages of using a climate controlled storage space. Our previous article discussed how indoor storage helps protect your belongings from extreme weather and humidity. We also discussed the security of indoor storage facilities. Today, we will look at more reasons to consider indoor storage vs. outdoor storage space.

Retaining Value

Storing items in a climate controlled space can help items retain their value over time. Items such as antiques and collectibles are only worth as much as they are able to be sold for on the open market. If these items are damaged or deteriorate due to exposure to the elements, their value will decrease. However, by keeping them in a climate controlled storage space, you can help to ensure they retain their value for years to come.

Longer Life

Another benefit of storing items in a climate controlled storage space is that it can extend their life. Items such as electronics, antiques, artwork, photos, luxury goods, books, etc. are sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. Keeping these items in a stable environment can help prevent them from deteriorating prematurely.

Our next article will cover more reasons to consider indoor facilities when you rent storage space.

Our previous article talked about the importance of cleaning and carefully packing everything you plan to move to an indoor storage space. Let’s look at two more tips to consider.

Prioritize and Inventory

Prioritize what items you may need to have ready access to and load them in last, so they are in the front of your indoor storage space. Also, make a list of all of the items you’re storing so you can easily keep track of everything you have in storage. This will come in handy in the future, especially if want to retrieve something without opening every box first.

If you’re planning to store your belongings in a self- storage space, it’s important to choose one that offers climate controlled storage. Storage facilities that are not climate controlled can expose your belongings to extreme temperatures and humidity, which can cause significant damage. Climate controlled storage facilities maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level, which helps to protect your belongings.

There are some recommended steps you should take if you plan to rent storage. Let’s take a look at how you can prepare your belongings to be moved to an indoor storage space.

Give Them a Good Cleaning

Cleaning all of your belongings before storing them helps prevent dirt and dust from accumulating in your climate controlled storage space. If you’re storing clothing, be sure to launder or dry clean everything before you pack it away. Other items should be thoroughly dusted and wiped down with a damp cloth.

Carefully Pack Everything

Once everything is clean, it’s time to start packing. Be sure to use sturdy plastic bins with lids or sturdy cardboard boxes. It’s also a good idea to wrap delicate items in bubble wrap or other protective material before packing them away.

How Can Climate Controlled Storage Benefit My Business?

More and more companies are choosing to rent storage off-site for items they do not need to have ready access to on a regular basis. If you are a business owner, this next series of articles is for you. We will be discussing various ways that climate controlled storage can benefit your business. Let’s get started.

Cost Savings

When you rent storage for your business, you will likely find that storage rates are much more affordable than the cost of purchasing a warehouse or expanding your existing structure to accommodate your storage needs. A climate controlled storage space offers everything you need without the added overhead costs of heating/air, maintenance, pest control, and other requirements that come along with having your own warehouse/storage space on-site.

Less Clutter

An organized workspace promotes greater productivity. Off-site indoor storage facilities are ideal because they allow you to declutter your office, storefront, and/or house if you operate a business from your home. In addition to storing product inventory, a climate controlled storage space can be used to store files, archives, equipment, seasonal items, etc.

Cleaning Out Your Climate Controlled Storage Space

Helpful Tips for Cleaning Out Your Climate Controlled Storage Space

We are continuing our series of articles discussing some tips to help you as you prepare to clean out our indoor storage space. Our previous article covered the importance of reviewing your inventory and recruiting friends and/or family to help. Today, we will explore more ideas to consider.

Have a Place for Everything to Go

Make sure you designate a place for everything that is inside of your climate controlled storage space. Are you moving some items to a larger or smaller indoor storage unit? Are you passing some items on to your children or other family members? Donating or selling items? Making a categorized list of what is going where can help you stay organized and save time in the long run.

Plan Ahead

Depending on the size of your indoor storage space, it can take a few hours or a few days to completely remove all the items. Strive to move larger items first and dispose of anything you want to throw away. If you have anyone scheduled to pick up items (i.e., non-profit organizations, individuals buying items, family members, etc.) make sure the items are ready.

Being organized on the front end can save valuable time and prevent a lot of headaches. Our next series of articles will offer some helpful tips to consider when it comes time to clean out your indoor storage space. Let’s get started:

College Students and Climate Controlled Storage

College Students and Climate Controlled Storage

Many college students rent storage to accommodate their unique needs while away from home. They may live in a dorm or apartment that only has room for them to bring a few essential personal items from home. When this occurs, climate controlled storage can ease the stress of some of the issues college students face when they go off to college. Today, we will look at two of the primary reasons why renting an indoor storage space is a must for some college students.

Moving In Between Terms

Some student housing and apartments have “move-in” and “move-out” dates that correlate with the college or university. If you plan to attend the spring semester and fall semesters, but want to go home for the summer, you may be obligated to move out. If this is the case, then a climate controlled storage space allows you to place your belongings in a safe and secure area in between terms.

No More Room at Parents Home

Often times, when the last child leaves the home, parents are ready to downsize. This means that there may no longer be room to store the items their children still have at home. When this is the case, then climate controlled storage space is an excellent solution.

Climate Masters Indoor Storage offers affordable storage rates and has three convenient Lowcountry locations: Hanahan, Summerville, and Daniel Island. Our Summerville and Hanahan locations also have vehicle storage/RV storage/auto storage available. We have varying sizes of storage space to accommodate your needs.

Moving Items to Climate Controlled Storage During a Home Renovation

We are continuing our series of articles discussing strategies to consider when moving household goods to a climate controlled storage space during a home renovation. Our previous article covered the importance of deciding exactly what items you need to move, purging and getting rid of items you no longer use and/or need, choosing the proper size indoor storage space, and preparing items for storage. Today, we will look at two more tips to consider.

Make an Inventory

Once your home renovations begin, things might get a bit crazy. It is a good idea to put together a comprehensive inventory list of everything you plan to store in your climate controlled storage space. This will help ensure you know exactly where everything is and decrease the chances of items getting lost or misplaced.

Pack the Unit with Access in Mind

When you pack your climate controlled storage space, make sure you place the items you need to have ready access to in an area that is easy to get to and navigate. You don’t want to unpack and re-pack your indoor storage space every time you need to access an item.

Climate Masters Indoor Storage offers premier storage space at three convenient Lowcountry locations: Hanahan, Daniel Island, and Summerville.
