Enhancements Available

Elevate your Trachte self-storage facility with the following enhancements.

Automatic Doors

Boost renter convenience by incorporating automatic doors at your facility. These doors provide seamless access, enhancing the overall user experience.

Compatible with

Block Exteriors

Incorporate split-faced block exteriors to give your facility a decorative look. This enhancement can be applied as a wainscot or cover the entire building, aiding in architectural review board approvals.

Compatible with

Brick Exteriors

Add a decorative touch with brick exteriors, which can be used as a wainscot, combined with other facades, or cover the entire building. Choosing real brick will provide authentic durability and appearance but will require more robust framing and foundation compared to artificial brick, which offers a similar aesthetic with less structural demand. This enhancement also helps in obtaining architectural review board approvals.

Compatible with

Canopies/Porches

Improve customer convenience by adding a canopy or porte-cochere over entrances to offices or corridors. Combining this with automatic doors can further enhance the self-storage experience.

Compatible with

Climate Control

Trachte offers insulated buildings designed to accommodate heating and cooling systems of your choice. These buildings meet local code requirements and personal preferences, and can be ordered in various heights to fit ductwork, typically featuring forced air systems with exterior units in recessed entries.

Compatible with

Colored Roofs

Colored roof panels create a distinctive and attractive color scheme for your facility. Standard on all high-pitched buildings, colored roofs enhance visibility and appearance, especially for sites at lower elevations than the road.

Compatible with

Drive-Through Loading Bays

Enhance your self-storage facility with Drive-Through Loading Bays, allowing customers to drive directly into the building for easy loading and unloading. This feature offers greater convenience, weather protection, and improved security.

Dryvit™ or EIFS

Dryvit™ or EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) provides a stucco-like finish suitable for most Trachte buildings. This material can be designed in various shapes, offering unlimited choices and aiding in architectural review board approvals, though it is easily damaged.

Compatible with

Elevators

Elevators are essential for multi-story facilities, offering easy access and convenience for renters. Ideally located near the building’s edge, they enhance the overall functionality of your facility.

Compatible with

Glass Fronts

Glass fronts enhance the appearance of your facility and serve as an advertising tool, especially when illuminated at night. This modern design element attracts attention and adds a touch of sophistication to your site.

Compatible with

Gutters and Downspouts

Gutters and downspouts direct water away from the building, protecting its structure. Gutters typically match the color of doors and trim, while downspouts can match either the building or trim.

Compatible with

Insulation

Primarily used in roofs for condensation control, Trachte provides 3/4 insulation as needed, ensuring a dry and well-maintained environment.

Compatible with

Offices

Adding an office provides a convenient, professional space for conducting business with customers, enhancing the operational efficiency of your facility.

Compatible with

Overhangs

Overhangs can be added to any high-pitched building, enhancing definition and attractiveness. A standard 9″ overhang is typical, adding a distinctive touch to your facility.

Compatible with

Stone Exteriors

Stone exteriors offer a unique and appealing look. Stone can be applied as a wainscot or to the entire wall, often used to distinguish office areas from storage units. These facades may help in obtaining architectural review board approval.

Compatible with

Towers

Towers increase the visibility and attractiveness of a site or office, occasionally added to building corners to display faux storage units, creating a visually striking feature.
