Effective Storage Shelving for Office Environments
Providing for storage needs is one of the most important requirements in an office. The height and number of storage shelves required depends upon the size of your office. The bigger the office, or the larger the volume of records to be stored, the more shelving will be needed.
Office shelving is a basic requirement in an office. As a storage facility office shelving has multi-purpose usage like storing files, archiving and office supplies. It ensures that the office remains uncluttered and organised, and that office staff can locate files and office supplies easily. For any office shelving to be effective, it must be designed properly. Making optimum use of available space will ensure an efficient design for storage.
Easy installation
Both office shelving and archive shelving normally have a choice of bays or individual shelving units. There is often a basic unit to which more units can be added to create a run or series of bays, as required. Custom office shelving is easy-to-install. A powder coated steel metal construction reinforced by side panels and bracing for additional support makes the shelving durable and long lasting. Office shelving can be available with plastic boxes.
With a boltless construction, archive shelving is extremely sturdy and is an easy-to-install, practical storage solution for offices. Depending upon individual requirements, the basic unit can be used with add-on units. Each bay can accommodate storage boxes that have enough capacity to store light duty archiving to heavy duty archiving (accounts, legal, or medical related documents) in archive storage boxes. Heavy duty archive shelving can normally be accessed from both sides, while light-duty archive shelving is placed against the wall.
Wall mounted shelving
Wall-mounted options are available for archive shelving, which can be used for archiving purposes or office storage. There are shelves available with aluminium or black lacquer frame and in birch or beech finishes. Powder coated finishes are suitable in dry conditions, while in wet conditions galvanised or stainless steel shelving is appropriate.
When buying office or archive shelving, it is vital to measure the height, width and depth of where it is going to be placed, choose whether it is standalone or wall mounted and decide what type of finish you prefer. Most shelving systems can be extended with add-on units, when required.
