Beyond getting your unused belongings out of your home’s living space and into a safely monitored environment, a storage rental serves as a protector of items susceptible to damage from colder temperatures. While few homeowners realize the effects cold weather can have on their valuables, climate-controlled storage rental facilities understand the importance of protecting everything from leather furniture to coin collections from the cold. Windmill Storage and Business Park of Columbia Falls, MT, mentions three items that must be stored away from the cold temperatures.

3 Items to Send to a Climate-Controlled Storage Rental When It’s Cold 

Leather Furniture

Out of all the furniture pieces in your home, leather is the most sensitive to heat and cold. Homeowners living in climates with extreme fluctuations in temperature should send unused pieces to climate-controller storage for the winter to avoid mildew damage. Your leather was an investment. Don’t let it be ruined by improper storage.

Coin Collections

Coin collections, especially those comprised of copper and silver coins, must be stored in a climate-controlled storage unit to avoid oxidation. The oxidation process will eventually ruin coins, and constant, controlled temperatures are required to prevent premature onset of this process. Like leather furniture, time and money have been poured into your coin collection. Don’t risk losing it all to weather damage.

Wine Collections

Premature aging of wine can leave your collection with an unpleasant metallic taste. Generally speaking, wine should be stored at a temperature of between 55 and 57 degrees to prevent deterioration.

Whether you’re looking to store furniture or wine, the temperature of your storage rental has more of an impact on the lifespan of your valuables than you might have previously realized.
