Why is climate-controlled storage important?

There are many situations in life when you may suddenly need a storage unit. In such cases, it is important that the facility is close to your home and easily accessible. raktár24's storage units can be the perfect solution, but special care must be taken when storing certain furniture and materials. We will show you which items require special treatment and a climate-controlled space so that they do not suffer damage even after long periods of storage.

Furniture

Furniture should generally be stored in climate-controlled storage rooms. Wooden furniture can warp and become damaged due to high humidity, while textile or leather upholstery may experience colour loss or cracked surfaces if the temperature, humidity, or lighting conditions are not suitable. We also offer solutions for storing delicate or unusually shaped furniture, sofas, and antique items, as your valuables will suffer no damage even after extended storage in our climate-controlled, well-ventilated, and secure facilities. 

Musical Instruments

Pianos, guitars, electronic instruments, drums – virtually every musical instrument requires special storage conditions. If brass instruments, such as trumpets, are exposed to high humidity, they will begin to develop mould.

If a piano is subjected to large temperature fluctuations and high humidity over a long period of time, the keys and the entire wooden frame may be damaged. Heat damages the adhesive, and components can come loose.

An acoustic piano is made up of 80% wooden parts. Wood is a breathing material that is capable of absorbing and releasing moisture depending on the humidity of the surrounding air. High humidity or an overly dry environment can seriously damage the instrument in the long run. Moreover, moving a piano is no easy task – it is not uncommon for one to weigh 500 kg. Our ground-floor, double-door, secure, climate-controlled storage units – directly accessible by car – provide a suitable space even for your most valuable instruments. 

Clothes and Textiles

Winter clothes take up more space in the wardrobe than everything else combined. For 9–10 months of the year, they simply get in the way. Mini storage can be a solution to this problem. We recommend a storage unit with appropriate humidity levels and good ventilation, preventing the appearance of mould or moths. 

Documents and Paperwork

Contracts, accounting documents, and books all require climate-controlled storage. Constant temperature fluctuations and high humidity can damage paper, causing it to oxidise and turn yellow. Not to mention that storing several years' worth of accounting materials is a significant challenge in the life of an average company. Our smaller storage units provide the perfect solution for storing these items.

Webshop Products

Webshops are becoming increasingly popular, but a growing customer base requires larger stock – and larger stock requires more space. Simply choose the right one from our secure storage units. You can access your goods at any time, as our self-service storage facilities are open 24 hours a day.
