Are Storage Units in E14 Ventilated?

Ventilation when storing belongings is important for many reasons. Perhaps you have particular items that need to be kept in certain conditions? Did you know that the correct ventilation and air circulation can ensure your items don’t get damaged? Here at Store That, we often get asked ‘are storage units in E14 ventilated?’– the answer is, yes, our buildings are ventilated to maintain airflow. Today, we’re going to talk about ventilation and when you should and shouldn’t need it in a storage unit.

Shipping Container Storage Ventilation

With any shipping container storage, you will find there are small vents. This is because the containers were originally manufactured to ship cargo across the ocean. These small vents would have allowed the traditional shipping containers to have the minimal, appropriate air circulation throughout travel. When shipping containers are converted into storage, typically, not much about them changes but, as a company, we have chosen to upgrade these already robust pieces of equipment, with extra vents and anti-condensation coatings as an extra measure of quality.  This makes them an extremely universal storage option for a vast array of items.

Items to Be Mindful of Storing

There are of course, some items you should ensure are stored with the correct ventilation, or you may find they become damaged. Things such as artwork, antiques, clothing, and photographs need to be taken care of when in storage. These items should be stored in either cardboard or plastic boxes to avoid atmospheric moisture damage.

Whilst the buildings here at Store That are ventilated and dry, damage to items due to customer negligence is a possibility (say storing damp items in the first place). To avoid this, we suggest ensuring items in your unit clean, dry and packaged properly, based on their individual criteria, and any sensitive items should be stored in the right packaging. Additionally, you may wish to keep fragile items off of ground level and on shelving units for extra protection.
