Metal shelving is successfully and widely used not only in stores and warehouses, but also at home. You can’t do without them in places such as a balcony, loggia, or pantry. Sometimes such furniture is the best solution for storing kitchen utensils.
Types of metal shelving
Firstly, you can opt for a rack that has a metal frame and combined shelves. Some of them can be made of chipboard for lighter items, some can be made of metal for heavier items. Such a metal shelving cabinet will cost less due to the not so expensive chipboard material. This rack is designed for a weight of up to 100 kg.
Secondly, you can purchase an all-metal bolt-on wall rack for home use. It can withstand loads of up to 200 kg. There are also designs that can withstand up to 400 kg, but it is not advisable to purchase such a cabinet for your home. It would be good for a garage or any storage space.
Based on the material of manufacture, metal storage racks are classified based on the method of their processing. So, there are models made of galvanized metal, painted, and with a polymer coating. Treatment is mandatory, because otherwise such a rack will quickly succumb to rust or corrosion.
Benefits of installing metal shelving at home
Such a piece of furniture will become simply indispensable for storing equipment, boxes, cans and other things that need to be organized in order to prevent a mess. It is the metal rack that can withstand the maximum load; you can put almost anything on it without thinking about whether the shelf will hold it.
Typically, these open cabinets are narrow and tall, and also have many shelves of different sizes and heights. So it takes up minimal space, but has very high functionality. A good option is a metal corner rack that will fit in a very small area and will be an ideal place to store things.
Another advantage of home shelving is that they are easy to assemble and disassemble. After all, the design is usually modular; the elements are connected using bolts.
The disadvantages of metal shelving include their high cost and not as aesthetically pleasing as, for example, wooden cabinets. Therefore, they are usually installed not in rooms, but in utility rooms.
