Climate Controlled Storage

What is Climate Control Storage?

Our West Washington and West Towne Self Storage facilities offer both climate and non-climate controlled units. For our climate controlled units the average temperature is maintained between 50 and 80 (F) year round. Our non climate controlled units are protected from the weather, but are not heated or cooled.

Temperature extremes and high humidity are the leading causes for damage to goods in storage. Items such as paper products or business records can be damaged by high humidity. Antique furniture is better stored in an environment from 50-80 degrees.

Here is a list of items you should consider storing in temperature controlled conditions:

  • Paper products such as files or important documents
  • Electronics such as computers
  • Home furnishings especially antiques
  • Mattresses
  • Musical instruments such as pianos
