Moving into a new home can be a stressful time for many reasons. One is often the worry that your precious belongings will be damaged in transport. This is as true for someone relocating internationally as it is for someone moving one state over. While it’s nearly impossible to anticipate every aspect of a move, it can be comforting to know that you’re taking the proper precautions. One of these is choosing appropriate services for transporting your furniture. This is especially important for items that should remain in a climate-controlled environment to avoid damage caused by temperature fluctuations and humidity. Wooden Furniture Anyone who values the craftsmanship of wooden furniture knows the importance of storage. When wooden furniture is exposed to excessive moisture, it can crack, warp or rot. If you have valuable bed frames, tables, dressers or entertainment centers made of wood, having climate-controlled storage during a move is absolutely necessary. Musical Instruments Musicians should always take great care when transporting their instruments. Humidity is a nightmare for almost all instruments, including woodwinds, strings, brass and percussion. For example, pianos are notoriously difficult to move. If not stored in a climate controlled area at all times, instruments can become rusted, corroded and misshapen. This kills the value of the instruments because it affects the quality of sound. Leather Furniture When not stored properly, leather furniture can be susceptible to discoloration and mildew. It is also very sensitive to drastic temperature changes. To safeguard your leather furniture from irreparable damage, you’ll want to transport it in a climate-controlled unit.
