OPEN & CLOSED METAL SHELVING

MULTI-TIER METAL SHELVING

This type of metal shelving is when units are stacked on top of each other to create even more space inside a building. Multi-tier shelving systems are perfect for storing awkwardly shaped items. Not to mention, this storage solution can save money by fully utilizing the warehouse space.

Finally, it’s a good time to get metal shelving. If you need a change in your business towards more organizational functioning, if your current shelving unit is breaking down, or if it’s simply not working at your productivity level, it’s time to invest in a quality metal shelving system.

Whether your business is in the market for metal shelving or it has outdated shelving currently installed, there are many benefits for investing in metal shelving units. Below are some examples of why using metal shelving will improve your storage capabilities.

BENEFITS TO USING METAL SHELVING FOR STORAGE

COST-EFFECTIVE

Though they may seem like a daunting and expensive task, the installation of metal shelves is a simple process of planning and relatively low-cost installation. Not to mention, after installing the metal shelving, your business will become more cost-effective because everything will be organized more efficiently.

EASY TO ASSEMBLE

If your business has the capabilities to self-install, metal shelving is made to be easy to put together. However, if you do not have the capabilities at your warehouse or business to make this kind of installation, it is as simple as finding the right supplier that will not only help you with the necessary permits but perform the installation for you.

METAL ISN’T SUSCEPTIBLE TO MOLD

In comparison to wooden shelves, moisture is a lot less likely to cause mildew residue or mold build-up on metal shelving. Steel, for example, is less porous than wood and so it’s more protective from exposure to mold spores. When mold enters a building, it can be devastating. In some cases, after mild exposure, everything has to be thrown away. Many builders of houses are even turning to use steel instead of wood to build framing.

NEED TO ORGANIZE THE GARAGE?

Metal shelving doesn’t just have its purpose for businesses. Metal shelving can be an easy way to organize your garage or basement and get everything off the floor and onto a clean and easy to organize shelf. Concrete walls don’t always work in your favor when you’re trying to hang things, but metal shelving can be just what your cluttered garage is missing.
