A renovation project provides you with a chance to improve your home in any way you deem fit, from making it more energy-efficient, minimally-designed, to aesthetically stunning, there are several styles or themes you can explore when revamping your home. Though, before you begin, you need to make sure all your upholstery is packed carefully and moved to a self-storage in Dubai. There are many reasons why you should do this and in this blog, we will examine a few crucial ones.

Protection from dust

Home renovation projects are guaranteed to create and accumulate dust. Unfortunately, the type of dust typically produced can be challenging to remove and will also affect the fabrics’ quality. Another substance that’s common during home renovation projects and can be harmful is paint. When sanded down, it creates a fine powder that can contaminate any material and cause a health hazard if inhaled, especially if it contains lead. Lead poisoning is incredibly dangerous for adults and children and could cause anemia, fatigue, kidney and brain damage.

All the upholstery that comes into contact with this harmful element must be meticulously cleaned before being used. If they are inadequately washed, the particles can remain on the fabric and may cause harm in the future. Placing your upholstery and other home furnishings inside a storage unit is ideal especially when your home renovation entails intensive work that may cause damage to your furniture.

To avoid stains

There can be many spills and splatter during renovations, and if your furniture happens to be in the wrong place, it could become stained. While some can be easily removed, others such as paint and grease can be tough to take off. If you do not use the appropriate method to remove them, you could weaken the material’s fibers and cause them to deteriorate.

It is safer to store the upholstery in storage facilities in Dubai to eliminate the risk of staining them. The air-conditioned facilities that we offer also ensures that your belongings will stay in optimal temperature and quality until you are ready to retrieve them.

Prevention from Damage

Even though the workers in your home would not intend to break any of your belongings, accidents can happen at any time. Your home environment during a renovation is a flurry of activity; there is a timeline for the construction workers to wrap up the project and constant movement inside the residence, making it hectic.

Furniture tends to get in the way of things, especially during the construction, demolition, and painting phases. Even if they are covered securely, if something falls on them or rips through the covering, the upholstery can be damaged. It is always better to move them to a storage facility until it is safe to bring them back.

Final words

If you or a loved one are planning to renovate your home, make sure to contact our self-storage company in Dubai to rent a unit to store your upholstery and other home furnishings. Renovation projects tend to be quite costly, and you would not want to spend additional money repairing and re-upholstering damaged fabric, especially given how expensive they are. Always make sure to play it safe and move them to a secure location beforehand. Our experts are always here to lend you a hand.
