Digdiggitydawg Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I’ve recently moved into a much smaller bedroom with the only space available for my 2x2 kallax full of records being about 5 or 6 inches to the right of a floor vent. I’ve put a plastic air deflector on the vent to direct the air into the middle of the room and haven’t noticed any warping on anything after about 2 weeks of everything being there but I’m a little worried about long term damage due to temperature changes. Anyone have any horror stories of records being close to a vent or am I being paranoid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want hot or cold air blowing right on them, but it sounds like this is not an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluethumb Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I had my collection in a case about 6 inches away from a baseboard heater for about 3 years and no problems have come up (it has been 2 years since). To @MachoHommeRandallSauvage point, as long as it's not direct heat/cold you should be all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multiverse Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 My Kallax is currently on casters in front of a heater--it definitely isn't ideal. What i've done is put some mailers to attempt to insulate the back of each cube I don't know if it does anything but it gives me some peace of mind? Haven't noticed any damage over the past two years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
