Practical storage solution during remodelling and refurbishment
During renovation work, space is often needed exactly where work has to be done. Furniture gets in the way, boxes block rooms and sensitive items are exposed to dust, dirt or possible damage. An external storage unit quickly creates order and allows tradespeople to work without obstruction.
Whether you are renovating your kitchen, replacing floors, painting, renovating a bathroom or carrying out a full apartment refurbishment: at Zebrabox, you will find storage units in different sizes. This means you can safely move individual pieces of furniture, several boxes or your entire household contents out of the way during renovation.
Which renovation work is a storage unit useful for?
A storage unit is useful whenever rooms need to stay empty, accessible and protected during renovation work. It is especially practical for painting, flooring work, kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations or a complete apartment refurbishment. A storage unit also helps during house remodelling, energy-efficient renovations or larger construction work, when furniture and household items need to be stored temporarily.
This gives tradespeople more space to work, keeps sensitive items better protected and saves you from having to move furniture around your home several times. Especially for longer renovation projects, an external storage unit is often the easier solution than using a cellar, garage or spare room as a temporary storage space.
Protect and prepare your furniture during renovation
Protect your furniture better during renovation
During renovation work, furniture is often placed in the cellar, garage or temporarily moved into other rooms. This may be practical, but it is not always ideal. Dust, moisture, temperature changes or lack of space can damage sensitive materials, especially wood, upholstery, mattresses, carpets, pictures or electronic devices.
An external storage unit protects your furniture and household items better during renovation. At Zebrabox, your belongings are stored in a dry, temperature-controlled and private space. Each storage unit is lockable, individually alarmed and located in a video-monitored facility.
Prepare furniture and household items properly before renovation
To keep your belongings well protected during renovation, furniture should be stored clean and dry. If possible, dismantle larger pieces of furniture and keep screws or small parts in labelled bags. Sensitive surfaces, pictures, mirrors or lamps are best protected with blankets, bubble wrap, protective covers or suitable packing materials.
Boxes should not be packed too heavily and should be clearly labelled. Items you may need during the renovation should be placed near the front of the storage unit.
Store flexibly and transparently during renovation
Stay flexible if the renovation takes longer
Renovations cannot always be planned exactly. Delivery delays, additional work or changes in schedule can mean that furniture needs to stay in storage longer than expected. With Zebrabox, you stay flexible: you can rent your storage unit from 1 week and extend it if needed. Once your apartment or house is ready again, you can simply cancel with 14 days’ notice.
How much does a storage unit cost during renovation?
The cost depends on the location, the size of the storage unit and the rental period. A small storage unit is often enough for a few boxes or individual pieces of furniture. If you want to store the contents of an entire room or apartment, you will need more space. At Zebrabox, you can see the available sizes and prices directly during the online booking process for your chosen location.
What can be stored during renovation?
In your Zebrabox, you can store everything that needs to be protected and kept out of the way during renovation. This includes, for example:
- Furniture such as sofas, tables, chairs, beds or wardrobes
- Moving boxes and household items
- Carpets, curtains and decoration
- Electrical appliances and lamps
- Books, clothing and personal belongings
