A Short Guide on Wire Shelving

Wire shelving is probably the best shelving on the market in terms of value for money. It's an economical choice for shop owners in need of great looking, durable display racks. They appeal in particular to new shop keepers who don't yet have a lot of spare cash to blow on display shelving.

Here we take a look at some of the unique properties of wire shelving.

The gondola finish is created by adding chromium to a coating fluid and applying the mixture to the bare metal. The resulting, electroplated metal becomes stronger, despite the thinness of the coating.

Strength and convenience.

Gondola Shelving can hold heavier items than most wooden and plastic shelving and it's very easy to assemble, which makes it ideal as a material for a portable display rack. Stainless steel or wrought iron shelving can take more weight but they are both heavier themselves, as well as more expensive.

Chrome-plated shelving is more than capable of holding heavy crates of drinks or large food orders in a restaurant setting, or hundreds of sale items in a shop display.

Gondola Wire shelving is very easy to clean so it is often used in the food industry and for medical applications. It can be steam cleaned and is resistant to bleach and abrasive cleaning products. The gondola finish is totally smooth and has no grain or imperfections that can trap dirt and bacteria. This makes it ideal for storing medical equipment, or fresh ingredients, for example.

Because gondola wire units continue to look nice and shiny for many years, they suit kitchens, restaurants and hospitals or anywhere else where it is important to reassure customers, or patients, that their surrounding environment is clean and hygienic.

Some light duty plastic shelving costs less than wire shelving but it is cheaper than stainless steel or wooden solutions. Unlike steel or iron shelving, it doesn't need to painted regularly to prevent rust which saves time, money and effort. It is much stronger than cheap plastic shelves.

The gondola plating forms a durable surface on the base metal which can easily withstand the normal scrapes, bumps and kicks that a shop display experiences. As well as shops it is also used extensively in warehouses, offices and even in homes.

The fact the shelves aren't solid-filled helps air circulate around the shelves more easily, which is ideal for food storage. It also creates a lighter, airier feel when used for displays. Because there's no solid back to the shelves, items can be stacked and/or viewed from the front or the rear.

If you're in the market for strong, lightweight, great looking shelving units - look no further than Black Gondola Shelving.
