Heat, humidity, UV light, pollutants, acidic materials, poor packing, and unstable storage conditions quietly destroy value over time—causing warping, fading, mold, corrosion, brittleness, cracking, and irreversible deterioration. The good news: nearly all of this damage is preventable with the right methods.
