When storing valuable belongings, choosing just any storage unit isn’t always enough. Changes in temperature, humidity, and seasonal weather patterns in Oregon can cause serious damage to certain items. That’s why many residents and businesses rely on climate controlled storage at Climate Kept Self Storage.
Whether you're storing items short-term during a move or long-term to declutter your home, recognizing what needs added protection is crucial.
Extreme heat or cold can damage belongings more quickly than expected. With Oregon’s shifting seasons, many materials expand and contract, causing:
Cracks
Warping
Peeling
Fading
If you’re storing anything that doesn’t handle temperature swings well, temperature controlled storage is a must.
Common heat/cold-sensitive items:
✔ Electronics & computer equipment
✔ Musical instruments
✔ Household appliances
✔ Photos, film, and artwork
✔ Important documents & books
Climate controlled units maintain consistent temperatures to extend the life of these items.
Humidity is one of the biggest threats inside storage units. Even slight moisture buildup can lead to mold, mildew, and rot — sometimes in just weeks.
Items that require low humidity storage:
✔ Leather clothing, shoes & furniture
✔ Wood furniture & antiques
✔ Mattresses & upholstered furniture
✔ Collectibles & coins
✔ Artwork & photo albums
At Climate Kept Self Storage, climate control reduces the risk of moisture-related damage, keeping belongings in pristine condition.
Some belongings simply can’t be replaced — which makes proper protection essential. Whether it’s a family heirloom or an expensive investment, climate control helps preserve its value and integrity.
Items worth protecting:
✔ Antiques & one-of-a-kind collectibles
✔ Jewelry and fragile keepsakes
✔ Memorabilia and inherited furniture
✔ Designer handbags, clothing & shoes
If it would break your heart (or wallet) to replace it — give it the best storage condition possible.
The longer items sit in storage, the more susceptible they are to climate-related damage. Even belongings that seem durable can degrade over months or years.
You should choose temperature controlled storage if you are:
➡ Deploying or traveling long-term
➡ Storing items between home transitions
➡ Downsizing and storing indefinitely
➡ Protecting seasonal belongings year-round
