Transform your East London Storage Unit into a Library

If you’re a keen book worm, then it’s likely that your collection of reading material is gradually growing; maybe you’re struggling to store your books at home and need to find a quick solution? Simply place them into our secure East London storage units!  

Whilst everything that you put into storage must be carefully packaged to prevent damage, books are particularly delicate and fragile. They must be stored in a certain way to ensure they come out of storage looking as good as the day they went in! Today, our specialist team at Store That would like to give you some top tips for how to store your books correctly. 

Check your Books 

Most damage to items in storage occurs due to the owner not checking them over beforehand. All belongings must be free from any liquid or food damage. We’ve all been found guilty of having a nice cuppa and biscuit whilst having a relaxing read, but spilling a few crumbs can be disastrous for your beloved books. Grease can saturate paper and even a few drops of any moisture can result in mould or mildew spreading throughout your collection. To avoid this, be sure to check for any kind of damage or spills prior to placing your collection into our East London storage facility. 

Package Correctly 

Although wrapping your books individually can be time consuming, it’s crucial to prevent them becoming damaged by dust or dirt. The ideal material is bubble wrap or paper towels. If you’re struggling to find suitable packaging, then you’re welcome to visit our shop at Store That. 

Using Boxes 

Placing your books into boxes can protect them from any possible moisture, dust and general wear and tear whilst they’re held in a storage facility. You can use a plastic container or cardboard box, but ensure you place the heavier reads at the bottom to avoid damaging the other lighter books. Our top tip: store them vertically, as if they were in a bookcase.
