Standard mini-storage units are sufficient for most items, but temperature-sensitive and irreplaceable objects need the extra protection of climate-controlled storage, especially in a country like Panama.
Climate vs. Temperature Control
Note that there is a difference. Climate-controlled units regulate both temperature (usually around 23°C) and base humidity (55%). In Panama, controlling humidity is vital to prevent mold growth and damage to your books, photos, and wooden furniture.
What Items Require Climate Control?
Items such as artwork, business documents, sports equipment, electronics, leather furniture, musical instruments, collections, wine, and clothing can deteriorate rapidly when exposed to extreme heat and high humidity.
Pro Tip: Protect What Matters
If you are storing items of high monetary or sentimental value for a long time, the extra cost of climate-controlled storage is well worth it to keep your prized possessions damage-free.
