The Importance of Humidity Control in Self Storage Facilities
When you’re choosing a self storage facility, you want somewhere that’s not only secure and convenient, but also safe for your belongings in the long term. At Britannia Self Storage, we understand how much your possessions matter — which is why we go further than anyone else in the area to protect them.
We’re proud to be Huddersfield’s only self storage facility with industrial humidity control, designed to keep your items clean, dry, and in perfect condition all year round.
Why Humidity Control Matters
In the UK, the weather can be unpredictable — damp winters, rainy springs, and humid summers all contribute to changing moisture levels in the air. Inside a typical storage unit, that humidity can lead to:
-
Condensation and damp patches
-
Mould and mildew on fabrics and furniture
-
Warped wood or peeling veneers
-
Rust and corrosion on metal or electronics
-
Paper and photo damage from excess moisture
Without humidity control, even the cleanest storage units can suffer from natural damp over time.
How Britannia Self Storage Protects Your Belongings
At Britannia Self Storage, we’ve invested in industrial-grade dehumidifiers that continuously regulate the air inside our storage areas.
This means:
-
Humidity levels stay consistently balanced throughout the year
-
Condensation is prevented before it can form
-
Your belongings stay dry and well-preserved, whatever the weather
Our humidity-controlled system is specifically designed for the UK climate, offering a superior level of protection without the high costs or unnecessary energy use of full climate control.
