Understanding Self-Storage

What is self-storage?

Self-storage is a convenient way of storing all the items and goods that are occupying your home and office space. The items that you rarely use can be stored in self-storage units for a flexible time period and you can access them whenever you want and at your convenience. This allows families and businesses to free up their home and office space and play or work in a comfortable, spacious environment. Store Room provides self-storage units to all who need to de-clutter their home and office. Our clean and reliable self-storage units remain under 24×7 camera surveillance so all your precious belongings remain safe and secure. You can rent the space according to your needs or even upsize or downsize later.

What are the features of Store Room self-storage facility?

Common features offered at each Extra Space Asia self-storage facility include:

  • 24-hour x 7-day access to your storage unit via secured pin code authorization
  • All the units are under 24×7 CCTV surveillance
  • On-site support from our friendly customer service consultants
  • Range of sizes available as per your storage requirements
  • Affordable storage with highly flexible rental terms
  • Clean and protected environment with high-end security systems

Why is self-storage a better option than traditional warehouses?

Traditional warehouses don’t give you the flexibility to upsize or downsize your storage unit anytime. This means you have to pay for the additional space that you are not even using. On the other hand, self-storage gives you the option to choose a storage unit that exactly meets your needs. This means you only pay for what you are using. You can upsize or downsize the unit anytime (subject to availability). Moreover, there is no long-term contract. Unlike traditional warehouses, self-storage gives you the flexibility to store your goods for a required time period.

So you can say that Store Room self-storage is a more cost-efficient option than traditional warehouses that have inflexible terms and conditions.
