CLOTHES SYSTEMS GUIDE
Rails | Racks | Shelves | Baskets
How clothes should be stored can depend on their material. Some garments should be hung up, while others are best folded, to keep them looking their best. The amount of space you have available, also plays a part in decided which clothes storage system is most suited for you. We'll look at freestanding and wall-mounted ranges, and help you decided which system works best for you.
Ranges Overview
Clothes Rails
Clothes Rails, while simple, offer versatility and sturdy clothes storage.
Available in a range of finishes, and styles, including reinforced, two-tier or tall, Clothes Rails are easy to build, adapt and use.
Clothes Racks
Clothes Racks are a shelving unit, which can be comprised of rails and shelves.
Related to our popular Chrome Wire Shelving, Clothes Racks are a strong, no-fuss unit, that is often used to form the base of a wardrobe.
Flexx Shelving
Flexx is a modular, adjustable wall-mounted shelving range.
Choose from pre-configured kits or create your own bespoke clothes storage system, with a selection of unique components and accessories.
Wall-Fix Hanging Rails
Wall-Fix Hanging Rails are a simple, yet effective wall-mounted storage option.
Various finishes are available, and you can expand the system, either by adding an additional tube and components, or separate shelves.
Rails & Components
What components or accessories are available?
For Clothes Rails, you can add a cover to an existing unit, or you can make a rail taller or two-tier, with the addition of extensions and a centre rail.
Clothes Racks are related to our Chrome Wire Shelving range, so you can add further shelves or accessories to suit.
Flexx offers the greatest variety of accessories, from shelves, rails, baskets and more, while Wall-Fix Hanging Rails are simply a rail, although you can add a separate shelf.
Materials & Styles
What are the colours available?
Clothes Rails and Hanging Rails components come in either Black, White, Chrome or Silver, while Pink is also available for Children's Clothes Rails. Clothes Racks come in Chrome, while Flexx components are available in White.
What are the materials available?
Across the ranges, the majority of components are made from steel. Flexx has more shelving variety, which are available in wire/steel, as well as wood-effect MDF.
Variations & Styles
What are the dimensions and sizes available?
Each system offers different sizes to suit your requirements. The main dimension that varies for Clothes Rails and Hanging Rails is the width (or length). Some Clothes Rail units also offer a higher drop, suited for long garments. Clothes Rack height and width vary, while Flexx offers different dimensions for a range of its components.
Which system can store the most clothes?
Flexx can offer the greatest variety of storage methods, as well as Clothes Racks, so if you're looking for hanging, folded and boxed storage, then explore these ranges. For hanging clothes, a 6ft Clothes Rail can store approx. 60-80 light clothes, or 30-40 heavy/bulky clothes.
Installation & Maintenance
How do I assemble the different systems?
Clothes Rails and Racks are freestanding, and so are a bit more straightforward to install, using a few components and just a few steps. With Flexx, the track is fitted onto the wall first, on which the uprights hook onto. For Hanging Rails, the support arms are affixed to the wall and the tube/s are threaded through and secured.
Which system is the easiest to maintain?
All clothing systems are relatively low maintenance. They can be wiped down and cleaned easily, without the use of harsh chemicals. You just need to make sure you regularly inspect components and accessories, and with Flexx and Wall-Fix Hanging Rails, ensure all fittings are still fully secured to the wall.
