Concerned about your car while you head for a vacation?

 Everyone loves summer. It’s the time to leave the city, country and go out for a long vacation. It’s a time to relax, unwind and forget about life’s troubles. Everyone loves to go on a vacation, except for car lovers.

Those who love their cars and work hard to keep them well-maintained in the best condition possible, also never want to leave them out of their sight. Moreover with most indoor parking lots already filled to the brim with Abu Dhabi’s existing citizens; it just does not feel right to leave your vehicle out in the dust exposed to the elements for an entire month; without any care or maintenance.

It a tough decision and most people end up leaving their prized possessions in such open parking lots where the intense heat and moisture damages the paint along with other exposed parts of the vehicle.

A smart move would be to simply hand over your car to the local mechanic and ask him to lend you some garage space for your vehicle. But not many maintenance shops want to take such responsibility. This is why it is smart to contact your local storage facility. Yes, if you haven’t heard of this before, storage facilities in Abu Dhabi do take care of vehicles. And by the word “take care” I do mean actually taking care of your vehicle in the form of tune-ups, keeping the motor running for some time everyday and even giving your car a wash or sending it to the detailers once a month.

What’s more is that you could store your vehicle with them for months and even years on end. Most vintage car collectors in fact prefer storing their vehicles at vehicle storage facilitiesin Abu Dhabi, because they offer climate-controlled, moisture-free storage facilities. This allows your car’s paint and parts to last longer, not giving into rust that easily damages your car and makes it age faster. In your case, you will just need to store your vehicle with them for a month. It makes for a safe and secure place to keep your car scratch-free and polished till the time you get back; while you enjoy your vacation without a hint of concern.

Air conditioned storage... Why?

Whenever people hear the term ‘air conditioned self storage’ for the 1^st time, they always seem to hang a puzzled expression on their faces. Initially, self-storage in UAE did begin as a business that provided space in exchange for money. Those days nobody had issues related to security, maintenance and customized storage in UAE. But today, it should be realized that air-conditioned self-storage units have a purpose too.

The wrong temperature conditions often deteriorate goods. Excess heat and humidity both, contribute to the spoilage of certain goods. With an air conditioned environment you could actually reduce the factors that could damage organic items like leather or wooden furniture, paper, clothes, etc. Air conditioned storage facilities are thus useful as many items we store are usually organic. Documents storage facilities in Abu Dhabi also need such storage options as many of our valuable assets are usually stored in the form of paper. The idea of storing food in an air conditioned storage unit has also been implemented since a long time. Such climate controlled storage prevents decomposition. How else would we be able to relish food from all over the world?

Of course there are additional costs all related to the electricity bill compared to a regular storage unit in Abu Dhabi. But don’t forget that an air conditioned storage unit is an investment and not an expense. For climate controlled storage, contact our storage company The Box. We make provisions for any storage requirement you may have in UAE.

Are Bugs Feasting on your Paper Documents?

Everyone (from kids to businessmen) possesses paper documents. Paper documents not necessarily mean financial documents. It is a broad term that can include – tax returns, birth certificates, newspaper clippings and even old school projects like drawings that your kid or you yourself might want to cherish for a lifetime. Valued documents such as these are mostly not referred to in a long time. Thus they need to be preserved in an appropriate manner, in a well equipped document storage facility.

There have been many cases of artworks, canvases, paper money and documents been eaten by insects. These insects or termites would love to feast on your valued paper possession until the whole piece of work is consumed. Earlier, paper was handmade from plant fibers and hence was quite durable. But in modern machine-made paper, wood constitutes the major ingredient. As insects feed on wood, the documents we so wish to cherish are susceptible to insects. Therefore we need to leave our documents in the hands of a record management expert. Record management in Abu Dhabi storage facilities, offer the advantage of storing your documents in a climate controlled environment. The storage of your documents in a controlled environment is highly necessary, as insects thrive on particular materials and in certain conditions. Only a good storage facility in Abu Dhabi would be able to eliminate those conditions for you. They keep your documents safe by tuning the environment (temperature, light, etc.) inside your storage unit in a way to prevent insects from thriving.
