All Shelving Is Not Created Equally
December 23rd, 2009
I know you are aware that there are different styles of shelving, made with different materials, that work best in different areas. But figuring out what works best can be tricky until you know a little more about those styles, materials and areas, so let’s take a closer look.
Take the garage for example. This is generally an area in most homes that tends to become cluttered very quickly for want of a better place to put things. If you have the space, metal or steel open back shelving, like the type you usually find in the commercial sector, is ideal for storing heavy items and still have easy access to everything.
Another solution for the garage is a wall mounted storage system like the Fast Track organisation system that Rubbermaid has designed. It is a steel framework on which anything from power tools to bicycles can be hung…leaving space on the ground for the car.
The bathroom is another room within the home that can become cluttered very quickly with everyones’ grooming gear. And because it is often a fairly small room, it’s better if you can use wall mounted or corner shelving to make use of otherwise wasted space.
Being strong and practical are the only necessities for shelving in the pantry. When it comes to finding exactly what you are after, organisation is key, and creating more space with various storage systems in the pantry is ideal. As far as materials go, it is important to stay away from glass in case it breaks and lodges in foodstuff. Wood and plastic are good options.
The garage, as mentioned, is the place we seem to put stuff when there’s nowhere else to put it. Depending on how much room you have, open back shelving, like the type they use in the commercial sector, is a good idea, as they are often made of steel and can hold a lot of weight and you can still have easy access to what’s being stored.
A great storage system for the garage is the Rubbermaid Fast Track organisation system. It is a heavy duty, steel rack that you can hang anything from power tools to bicycles on, freeing up the floor space for the car.
Many people use this plastic shelving to store stationery and other necessities in the office. In other commercial areas though, like factories for example, metal and steel open back shelving is more suitable to store large quantities of merchandise with easy access.
As you can see, some styles of shelving, and the materials they are made from, are better than others depending on where and how they will be used. Now that you have more of an idea of what is suitable, you can delve a little deeper into information about the type that is right for you.
