Weather Seals on Self-Storage Facility Doors

Welcome to the forefront of self-storage security and protection.  

 

The self-storage market is experiencing massive growth, with it being forecasted to top $64 billion by 2026. With this influx of new customers comes an increased responsibility for self-storage facility operators to protect the belongings placed in their care. While you may have security cameras to discourage theft or heavy-duty doors that hold up during extreme winds, there's a critical yet often overlooked aspect of protection that makes all the difference in your tenants satisfaction: weather sealing. Read on to learn why weather seals are an excellent source of protection for outdoor storage unit doors and how Action Direct manufactures quality seals, retainers, and thresholds for any storage situation.  

 

Why Weather Seals Matter:

 

If you've ever felt a draft beneath a shut door, you know that just because a storage unit is shut does not mean that it is sealed. There are natural gaps between your door and the sides, top and bottom of a storage unit that allow a multitude of harmful containments to get inside and possibly cause irreversible damage to your tenant’s property.  

 

Protect Against the Elements:

 

Weather such as rain, snow, and sunlight can get through these gaps and devastate property. Furniture is especially susceptible to water damage, and with 1 in 3 Americans claiming to have at least one furniture piece in their storage unit, it’s a serious issue in the event of heavy rain or flooding. Weather seals provide a barrier by sealing off these problem points to keep the elements and dirt outside where they belong.  

 

Action carries seals and retainers for the bottom, top, and sides of a storage unit door as well as the more durable Tri-Fin Polar Seal that excels in extreme colder climates. If you're looking for more casual protection, our Vinyl seal options come in a variety of colors to fit your unit’s aesthetic, while storage units in harsher climates can opt for EDPM seals designed for heavy-duty environments.  


Pest Protection

 

If you think tenants won’t be thrilled about rainwater damage in their unit, they'll be furious if they find their clothes and belongings gnawed on and destroyed by pests. Rats are the number one pest to infiltrate storage facilities, and they can multiply quickly and carry a host of diseases that put a tenant's health at risk. The sharp teeth of rats and mice can get through regular weather seals with ease, but Action Direct’s RodentBLOCK weather seals are lined with steel wool to ensure these pests can’t get inside along with EPDM to protect against weather, stormwater, debris, and other containments. 

 

Long-Term Cost Savings & Tenant Satisfaction

 

Investing in weather seals now can save you significant expenses in the long run. By preventing damage from the elements and pests, you'll reduce the need for costly repairs and replacements, ultimately preserving the integrity of your storage units and maximizing your return on investment. Prioritizing weather sealing is also a green flag for potential tenants who will see your dedication to protecting their valuables. Happy tenants lead to longer lifetime value and customer satisfaction ratings, which will help your business continue to grow alongside the industry.
