Storing wooden furniture properly: self-storage as a solution
Wooden furniture not only has a functional value, but often also a high emotional and financial value. Whether you’re moving house, renovating or simply want to create more space in your home, you’ll want to store your wooden furniture to preserve its quality and appearance. In this article, you’ll find out what to look out for when storing wooden furniture and why self-storage is an excellent solution for your needs.
Why is it important to store wooden furniture correctly?
Wood is a natural material that reacts to environmental influences such as temperature, humidity and light. If you store your wooden furniture incorrectly, it can be damaged – whether through cracks, discoloration or mould. Optimal storage ensures that your furniture remains in perfect condition even after months or even years.
The main dangers when storing wooden furniture
Moisture: Too much moisture can cause the wood to warp or even form mold.
Temperature fluctuations: Extreme cold or heat cause the wood to expand or contract. This can result in cracks.
Direct sunlight: UV rays bleach the wood and cause it to fade.
Dust and dirt: If your furniture is stored in a dusty environment, this can damage the finish and scratch the surface.
Storing wooden furniture: what should you look out for?
If you want to store your wooden furniture, there are some important steps you should follow to ensure that it remains undamaged.
1. Clean furniture thoroughly
Before you put your wooden furniture into storage, you should clean it thoroughly. Remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth and make sure that no cleaning agent residue remains on the surface. This will prevent dirt and deposits from settling on the wood during storage.
2. Dismantle larger pieces of furniture
If possible, you should disassemble larger pieces of wooden furniture such as wardrobes or beds. This not only makes transportation easier, but also ensures that less pressure is exerted on individual parts, which reduces the risk of deformation.
3. Protection by covers
Use special covers made of breathable material to protect your furniture during storage. Plastic sheeting should be avoided as it prevents air circulation and can trap moisture, which could lead to mold. Textile covers or special furniture covers are more suitable as they allow the wood to breathe while protecting it from dust.
4. Observe storage conditions
Choosing the right storage location is crucial. A temperature-controlled room in which the temperature and humidity are kept constant is ideal. STORE ROOM offers special storage rooms that are suitable for storing sensitive materials such as wood.
5. Position furniture correctly
Make sure that your furniture is not placed directly on the floor. Place them on pallets or supports to protect them from any moisture on the floor. You should also leave enough space between the pieces of furniture to ensure air circulation and avoid damage caused by bumping into each other.
