Items That Require Special Storage Conditions
Some delicate items require special care and need climate-controlled storage in order to remain in good condition over a prolonged period of time:
- Wooden furniture – when exposed to excessive moisture or extremely high temperatures, wood can crack, warp, or rot;
- Leather furniture – high temperatures can cause leather to crack or fade while moisture can discolor the upholstery and result in mold growth;
- Antique furniture – exquisite old pieces are very vulnerable to damage and need optimal ambient conditions in order to remain intact;
- Artwork – art pieces are very delicate and, more often than not, awkwardly shaped. They are sensitive to pressure and highly susceptible to moisture and temperature swings;
- Electronics – sensitive electronic devices can be irreversibly damaged by extreme temperatures and high humidity ;
- Musical instruments – scorching heat, severe cold, and high humidity can completely ruin a delicate musical instrument – they can cause strings to snap, wood to expand or contract, felt or rubber to break down, etc.;
- Fine clothing, old books, valuable metal pieces and any other goods that can be damaged by extreme temperatures and high humidity.
Have in mind, however, that corrosive, flammable or explosive materials, hazardous substances, perishable goods, valuables, plants, and live animals cannot be kept in storage.
