The Best Ways to Stop Condensation in Your Metal Storage Building

The Best Ways to Stop Condensation in Your Metal Storage Building

If you are looking for space in order to store items or just want a place to turn it into a workshop, you should consider a metal storage building on your property. Carport Empire offers a wide range of different metal storage sheds and buildings, which don’t require any maintenance and are perfect for all your storage needs. However, there is one issue that you must face with metal storage buildings, which is condensation. It is a common problem, but you can take care of it to ensure that you stop condensation from occurring in your storage building.

One thing you must know about condensation is that it takes place near the foundation. Most people don’t know this but you can prevent condensation from ever occurring in your metal storage building when you’re installing your storage building. Here are the best ways to stop condensation in your metal storage building:

1.   Foundation

The composition and size of the foundation determine how much condensation occurs in the metal building. If you are using cement, then ensure that you make the foundations wider on the sides of the metal building. You should allow the cement to cure properly because if you install the building early, the cement and water will enter the building.

2.   Timber Base

Once the foundation and the storage building have been installed, you can create a raised timber floor, which ensures air circulation under the building. This is the best way to reduce condensation, and you can install the floor by securing it with wood screws. You should then apply mastic seal on the inside, so that water doesn’t pool under the flooring, and stops air circulation.

3.   Sealant

You can then apply a silicone or mastic sealant on the exterior of the metal building. You should apply the sealant at the concrete base of the building so that it allows water runoff on the outside of the metal building. This will also ensure that water doesn’t enter the building from the base.

4.   Insulation

Condensation occurs in a metal building when there is a lack of insulation, and if you want to prevent it from happening you must ensure proper insulation. You can apply rigid foam to the interior of the metal storage building and cut holes for ventilation. You can also apply a plywood wall, once you have installed the insulation since that will ensure that the roof and walls have proper insulation.

5.   Vents

Air circulation is vital for removing moisture from the metal storage building. Moisture generally enters a building from the base, and you can stop condensation by installing vents at the roof of the building. This will ensure that warm air inside the building exits from the vents at the roof, and there is constant air circulation going on in the metal storage building.

The metal storage buildings at Carport Empire are made from high-quality materials and if you want to learn more about preventing condensation, then talk to one of our experts today!

What You Should Know about Protecting Your Metal Roof from Hail Damage

What-You-Should-Know-about-Protecting-Your-Metal-Roof-from-Hail-Damage

The roof of your metal storage building is the most expensive component to replace, depending on the size of the structure. The main purpose of the metal roof is to protect your storage space, and all the components you have housed inside it from the weather elements like sun, wind, rain, and hail. The sun can’t do any damage to the roof, and the wind and rain may do a little damage if there is a heavy thunderstorm, but hail damage to your metal roof can be devastating when combined with high wind and rain.

At Keen’s Buildings, we only use the highest-quality of metal in all our metal roof buildings and storage structures. However, no metal roof can survive the heavy beating from a hail storm, which is why you must protect your metal roof from hail damage.

Why Is Hail So Damaging?

If you live in an area that is prone to hail storms, you must know that the impact hail can have on your metal roofs can be devastating. Some factors that determine how badly hail can damage the metal roof of your storage buildings are:

  • The size of the hail
  • The mass of the hail
  • The wind speeds with the hail
  • The point of origin of the hail
  • The condition of your roof
  • The angle of impact on your roof

Inspecting Your Roof after a Hail Storm

You should regularly inspect your metal roof, especially after a hail storm, because there is bound to be some sort of damage to it. You don’t want to wait around for rain and other weather elements to get inside your storage space, so perfect a quick inspection, once the weather is clear. You must look for signs of damage that can cause leaks, and let water enter your storage building.

Inspecting Your Gutters after a Hail Storm

When performing your roof inspection after a hail storm, you should also check the gutters, because you must ensure they are properly attached to the building. Loose or broken gutters can cause water to run off the roof and into areas from where they can enter the building. Therefore, you shouldn’t leave them alone and get them fixed as soon as possible to prevent water from getting inside the building.

Insurance Claims & Hail Damage

One of the best things you can do to protect against hail damage for your metal roof is to get insurance for your roof. This will ensure that you don’t have to spend your own money on costly repairs to metal roofs. If you have insurance for hail damage and want to claim it, then ensure that you gather all the evidence of the damage and include it in the report you give to the insurance company. You can catalog the damage in the form of pictures of the roof so that you can compare the wear, and tear your metal roof sustained in the hail storm.

How Buying Your Own Storage Building is Better Than Renting Storage

Steel-Buildings-KB-42

Most homeowners will be familiar with the problem of having to store years of unwanted stuff that has kept on piling in their attic or their garage. You could host a garage sale every year to get rid of stuff you no longer use, but some people prefer storing them due to sentimental attachments. Often, when there is too much stuff to store at the house, people choose a self-storage facility, where they can keep their stuff safely. It is practically renting a storage building, and you pay them monthly to keep your stuff.

However, there is another option, which is to buy a storage building of your own and then have it installed on your property. There are pros and cons for both options, but the majority are in favor of buying your own self-storage building because you don’t have to worry about monthly payments. At Keen’s Buildings, we decided to look at whether buying your own storage building is better than renting:

The Many Costs of Renting Self-Storage Units

Self-storage buildings are marketed as a simple and cheap way to get the unwanted clutter out of your home and stored in a secure location. However, most of the times, these rented storage units have drawbacks and hidden costs that people don’t consider.

1.    Monthly rental fee

The first drawback of renting self-storage buildings is that you must pay a monthly rental fee. This can accumulate a lot of money over time, especially if you plan on storing your stuff for a long time. Most storage facilities charge a lot of money as rent, and you could pay up to $200 a month.

2.    No ownership

You don’t have any claim of ownership over the storage facility, because you are renting it. You are paying them storage building for their space and time to keep your things safe, and therefore you have no ownership.

3.    Hidden costs

Rental storage buildings often have hidden and secondary costs associated with them. These could be renting a moving truck to move large furniture to the storage unit, and even paying extra fees to the storage building as a security deposit or after-hours access fees.

Why Our Steel Storage Buildings are Better

At Keen’s Buildings, we have steel storage buildings in different styles and designs, which are perfect for all your storage purposes. Here are all the many reasons they are better than rental storage:

1.    Close to You

Your storage building will be on your property, and you don’t have to rent big moving trucks to move large furniture or big storage items. Your belongings will remain close to you on your property.

2.    Less Expensive

If you plan on storing your stuff for a long-time the smart choice would be to purchase a steel storage building outright. It will cost you less because if you add up the monthly rents and hidden fees, renting a storage building will be more expensive.

3.    More Space

You will also have more space to store your bulky items and large furniture in your own steel storage building. There will be no need to share your storage space with others, and you can store other things like ATVs and boats in the steel storage building as well.
