It’s no secret that renting self-storage has benefits for individuals and businesses looking to safely and conveniently store their belongings. These benefits (in our opinion) are just not talked about often enough nor are they very well known, which is why we’ve written this blog post – to share them! Only, we have focused this specific post on indoor self-storage (also called inside self-storage).
Why you may be wondering? Well, because renting an indoor storage unit offers some benefits that are slightly different from outdoor drive-up storage (which we also specialize in and offer at select storage solutions locations). We’re big believers that the more you know about the different types of self-storage available for rent, the better informed and equipped you will be to make the best storage solution decision for your unique needs!
1. Security: One of the most significant advantages of indoor storage is the added layer of security. Indoor units are located within a building, providing an additional level of protection from the elements all year round. This makes them an excellent choice for storing valuable items, important documents, electronics, and other items that may be susceptible to the harsh environment we have in Canada.
2. Temperature or Climate-Controlled: Another key benefit of indoor storage is temperature control and climate control, which helps protect belongings from temperature fluctuations, humidity, and extreme weather conditions. Many indoor self-storage units are equipped with temperature or climate regulation, maintaining a stable environment that prevents damage from mold, mildew, and rust. This is especially useful for items such as wooden furniture, artwork, antiques, and sensitive electronics that can degrade if exposed to heat, cold, or moisture. For those with temperature-sensitive items, either heated storage (also known as temperature-controlled storage) or climate-controlled indoor storage can offer peace of mind.
3. Accessibility & Comfort: Indoor self-storage units also offer better accessibility and comfort for storage renters during the harsher winter weather for those who want to visit their storage units frequently. Since they are located within a building, it’s easy to load and unload items regardless of the weather outside. Whether it’s raining, snowing, or sweltering hot, indoor storage provides a sheltered environment, making it convenient for you to access your belongings at any time of year. Indoor units (from reputable storage rental facilities like Storage Solutions) also tend to have well-maintained interiors, with clean hallways, bright lighting, and easy-to-navigate spaces, creating a safe and comfortable experience when accessing your unit.
4. Flexibility & Versatility: Finally, indoor storage is a flexible solution for a variety of storage needs! Whether you’re storing personal belongings during a move, seasonal items like holiday decorations, or excess business inventory, indoor units come in a variety of sizes to suit different needs. This flexibility, combined with the security, climate control, and accessibility of indoor units, makes them a versatile and valuable choice for anyone in need of reliable, convenient storage solutions.
