Greetings folks, I just wanted a second opinion on this...

I've decided my current studio setup is inadequate, and want to store my gik bass traps away until I have access to a larger, more suitable recording/mixing space.

I'm converting the current studio into a bedroom. My only real options other than leaving the bass traps hanging on the walls is to store them away in the attic or the outdoor cabin, both of which are unheated. They take up a lot of space so I've no other options unfortunately. It's hard to say how long they could be stored away for, possibly years.

I've been advised that high humidity and cold temperatures (UK climate) can possibly degrade the rockwool over time. Are there any precautions I can take to temper this, such as wrapping them in a particular type of material, like bin liners for example, or will that not make a difference?

Grateful for any advice as I obviously want to avoid damaging them.

Dehumidify your room.
