What Are Indoor Storage Units?

Indoor storage units, as the name suggests, are storage spaces located within a storage facility building—not exposed to the outdoors. Unlike outdoor or drive-up units, indoor storage units are accessed through hallways and common areas within a building, providing an additional layer of security and protection from harsh weather conditions. These units typically do not have climate or temperature control but still offer effective protection from dust, pests, and moisture compared to outdoor alternatives. Indoor units are especially suitable for items that don’t require strict temperature management but still benefit from being kept indoors, dry, and away from environmental exposure.

They function much like a personal, secure room where you can store various items, from household goods and personal belongings to business inventory. These units are ideal for both short-term and long-term storage needs.

The 3 Types of Indoor Storage

There are three main types of indoor storage units: standard indoor storage, temperature-controlled storage, and climate-controlled storage.

Standard indoor storage units are basic storage options that typically provide basic insulation but do not regulate temperature or humidity levels.

Temperature-controlled storage units offer an enhanced level of environmental protection by maintaining a consistent temperature range, usually between approximately 55°F to 85°F. These units use HVAC systems to manage temperature but do not explicitly control humidity.

Climate-controlled storage units provide the highest level of protection by regulating both temperature and humidity. This comprehensive environmental control significantly reduces risks of mold, mildew, rust, corrosion, warping, and pest infestation.

Benefits of Indoor Storage Units

1. Weather Protection

Our indoor units come with a small level of temperature control. Since the units are not directly exposed to the outdoors, they maintain a cooler temperature in the heat

2. Enhanced Security

Our indoor storage units are nestled within a protected building, offering an extra level of security. We uphold strict safety measures, such as strategically placed security cameras, keypad accessible features, and gated entry.

3. Versatility

We present a broad range of unit sizes to meet your unique storage needs. From a handful of boxes to an entire household’s worth of possessions, we can accommodate it all.

Clean and Dry

The advantage of indoor storage extends to keeping your belongings sheltered from harsh weather conditions, thus ensuring they remain clean and dry.
