Climate And How It Impacts Items In Storage
Humidity
Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air. Items swell as humidity increases then shrink as it decreases. Cracking is often the result. Mold thrives as humidity increases.
Temperature
Items expand in hot weather and contract when it's cold. This causes cracking. Bugs and pests become more prevalent as temperatures increase.
Sun, Rain & Snow
Sunlight causes fading and discoloration of fabric. Rainwater and mud can ruin rugs, blankets and clothing. Snow creates moisture and road salt is corrosive.
Effects Of Temperature Fluctuations
- Cracking, tearing, breakage and warping of wood
- Discoloration of Fabrics
- Yellowing of Paper
- Mold and mildew formation
- Rust and corrosion
- Problems for electronics
- Photo degradation
- Increased pests
