• Like all items that you're planning to store in
  your Balmain storage unit, paintings, no matter
  how simple or valuable they are, require special
  attention prior to long-term safekeeping. You
  need to pack them properly so you can add more
  years to their shelf life. And once you store
  them in your rented space, you shouldn't just
  forget about them. You also have to make sure
  that they will remain in good condition. To help
  you out, here are some of the things that you
  should keep in mind when storing wall art pieces
  in your unit.

• Number 1 Never wrap paintings with plastic
  sheets. When storing wall art pieces in your
  Balmain storage Manly unit, you should never
  cover them with plastic sheets. It is because
  plastics can have moisture pockets, which can
  contribute to mould growth. Instead, you should
  use old blankets and linens. They are good
  alternatives to plastic sheets as they are made
  from breathable material and they allow air to
  circulate.

• Number 2 Don't let anything come into direct
  contact with your paintings. No matter which
  material you're going to use to cover your wall
  art pieces, make sure that they won't touch the
  artwork directly. If it is unavoidable, experts
  recommend wrapping each painting with wax paper.
  Once you're done, you can now cover the artworks
  and store them in your Balmain storage unit.

• Number 3 Never stack the artworks directly on
  top of each other. When storing wall art pieces
  in your Balmain storage unit, you should avoid
  placing them directly on top of each other.
  Otherwise, you can potentially damage the
  paintings. What you can do is place a piece of
  cardboard in between paintings so you can prevent
  them from sticking to each other.

6

• Number 4 Keep the paintings off the floor. You
  should never place the wall art pieces directly
  on the ground, especially if your Balmain storage
  unit is located on the first floor of the
  facility. If the facility experiences accidental
  flooding, your paintings will be among the
  casualty. As such, you should place them on a
  raised platform so you can keep them off the
  ground.

7

• Number 5 Keep moisture levels in check. Make
  sure that humidity levels inside your Balmain
  storage unit are always normal. Otherwise, it
  will be extremely difficult for you to keep your
  paintings in good condition. You should consider
  placing a humidifier or moisture absorbers inside
  your rented space to reduce moisture in the air.
