Dry Storage Facilities

All our storage containers have a moisture absorbing compound on the inside of the container roof. It is guaranteed for 25 years and absorbs moisture from the air, ensuring your goods stay perfectly dry regardless of the weather outside.  We have been using this system since 2003 & have never had any problems with goods becoming damp & keep a “test unit” of our own that is frequently monitored.

However, it is imperative that the goods you put into your storage units are dry in the first place, the roofing compound will only deal with moisture in the air, it will not remove moisture from already damp materials.

Storage tips

You should never wrap items (such as mattresses) in plastic unless brand new and sealed, as any moisture in the mattress (there can be up to a pint in a used one) will be drawn out by the warming action of the plastic wrap & possibly create mould. Also make sure any white goods are fully drained of any water before storing.

Although not always avoidable, be aware when moving items in and out of the container when it’s raining heavily. Moisture on the goods has to go somewhere and whilst our insulated roofs to a brilliant job of absorbing excess moisture it is best to limit the amount of water entering the container.
