Think your home’s attic is the ideal place for Grandma’s china? Think again. While an attic may be convenient, it can also leave your items susceptible to damage. An attic’s extreme hot and cold cycles can cause items to deteriorate and instances of animal intrusions and bugs nesting in your belongings aren’t out of the realm of possibility.
Read on for 3 reasons why a self-storage unit is better than your attic:
1. They’re Climate Controlled
Does your attic get very hot in the summer and freezing cold in the winter? This type of temperature fluctuation can cause damage to your valuable items. Today’s self-storage facilities are climate controlled ensuring the best environment for storing your valuable possessions, so your days of worrying about temperature damage are over.
2. They Have the Added Security Most Homes Don’t
Unlike your attic, self-storage units have security for your valuable possessions. Many self-storage premises are outfitted with motion detectors, 24/7 video surveillance, perimeter contacts, controlled entry sign-in and sign-out, unique access codes, and on-site managers.
3. You May Want the Space
Has finishing off your attic been on your to-do list, but you don’t want all your belongings cluttering the rest of the house? Self-storage units give you the freedom to finish away. With a self-storage unit, you can store your belongings for as long or short a time period as you like. Many storage units have month-to-month leases that won’t tie you down with commitments, so you can store long-term or just for the duration of your project.
