Guide to Chrome Wire Shelving

An effective storage solution needs to be strong, flexible and easy to maintain. Whether you are running a customer facing business, a warehouse space or just need to save room at home, chrome wire shelving caters to all of these needs.

Simple to build and maintain

The simplicity and minimalist nature of chrome wire means that it doesn’t require much space, and is easier to build than you may think.

To assemble, each upright is in two parts that screw together, and then the shelf support clips attach on to each upright at the point you want them to sit. Then the shelf is lowered on to the top of the uprights and pressed down on to the shelf clips. There are shelf pitches every 25mm and it’s completely up to you as to how they are positioned depending on what items will be placed on the shelves. Always make sure to measure the items you plan on displaying or storing so that you leave enough of a gap.

Easy to clean

Once you have put your shelving unit together, over time you are going to need to keep it looking spick and span, particularly if it is being used in a kitchen setting or any other environment that could become unhygienic without regular cleaning. Chrome is incredibly easy to clean, and as it is wire shelving, very little dust will settle.

The chrome finish will last you many years, looking pristine and professional in the process. To keep it looking shiny, you simply wipe it clean with a cloth. As assembly and dis-assembly are so easy to do, the unit can also be stored away when not in use to save space. Be sure to maintain upkeep by cleaning when required which will avoid any wear and tear.

Flexibility

The hollow backs and sides of chrome wire shelving allow multiple angle viewing, but also easy access to anything you are storing. There are many accessories that can be purchased in order to personalise the unit for its intended purpose.

These options include hooks, dividers and clothes rails which allow for a plethora of uses. You can also purchase units which are intentionally built for particular items, such as shoe racks and wine racks.

Standard chrome wire shelves can support up to 150kgs uniformly distributed load, meaning that there are very little limitations in what you can place on them. If you want to store heavier items, heavy duty chrome wire shelving which takes the weight of up to 250kg is also available. As these units are so heavy duty, they are suitable for industrial unit spaces or within a stockroom area for holding large deliveries which need sorting for display.

When you need to move the units around between rooms or buildings, many models allow for the attachment of heavy duty castor wheels which can be purchased as extras. Be sure to check with your supplier that the model you have chosen can accommodate this.

Whereas other storage unit options may break, collect dirt or are inflexible and can’t be adapted, the versatility of chrome wire shelving means it’s an excellent cost effective solution to storage needs, whatever sector your business operates in.

Whatever your needs, chrome wire shelving offers the flexibility and versatility to suit, offering cost effective storage solutions that can be tinkered with and adapted as your needs change – meaning you never have to buy another unit.
