Top reasons to use Chrome Wire Shelving for your display and storage

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 in the office or kitchen, chrome wire shelving caters to all environments. Chrome Wire Shelving is an excellent way of storing or displaying products in a professional and organised way. Here are four reasons why Chrome Shelving is the favourable type of shelving for a range of applications.

1. Easy to assemble

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. Each shelf clip is marked with arrows so you can easily see the right way up to attach. A top tip is to keep the upright poles laying down until you have one shelf firmly in place. So the shelf is added on to the four horizontally placed uprights and then flip to stand upright as the shelf reaches the bottom so you can press down on to the shelf clips to set all in place. 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.

2. 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 can settle within it. The chrome finish is so long lasting, looking pristine and professional in the process. To keep it looking shiny, 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.

3. Flexible & Versatile

Whatever your needs, chrome wire shelving offers the flexibility and versatility to suit, offering cost effective storage solutions that can be altered and adapted as your needs change – meaning you never have to buy another unit. The hollow backs and sides of chrome wire shelving allow multiple angle viewing, but also easy access to anything you are storing. Check out our Chrome Wire Shelving accessories that can help personalise your unit for different purposes. Choose from hooks, baskets, 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.

4. Heavy-duty

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. Be sure to check whether the unit you have chosen can accommodate this. View our mobile units here >

5. Store clothes

With all the classic features of a conventional wardrobe, including shelves and hanging rails, our Open Wardrobe (or Clothes Racks) range is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a way to add more wardrobe or clothing storage space, without the cost or hassle of a fitted wardrobe. Unlike wardrobes, they have no doors or cover, providing a clear view of your wardrobe and making it easy to store and locate items. Durable and versatile, our open wardrobe collection blends elements from our popular Chrome Wire Shelving range to create a strong, yet lightweight clothing storage system that is built to last.

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.
