Security Shelves
When someone thinks of shelves they typically don’t recall that there was a day when shelving didn’t exist and things weren’t so organized. In the 1700’s most people who needed to keep a collection of belongings used baskets and had to dig through them to find something. Today, shelves can be seen in every grocery store, facilities of all sorts, and especially our homes.
Shelves are made from all types of materials such as: wood, plastic, metal (stainless steel), glass, and have a couple of ways to hang them. The most common material used for large facilities such as gyms, pools, schools, etc.. are plastic or metal. They tend to be the easiest to clean and hardest to damage. Places such as garages, utility or hardware stores tend to use metal shelving. Metal shelves are used for their sturdiness, sleek/clean look, and most of all, to hold a large or heavy amount of items. Some metal shelves also have holes in them. Plastic shelves can come in a variety of colors and sizes. Plastic shelves that are colored tend to attract people to use them. Wood shelving is most often used in home shelving for items such as books, antiques, or items that we hold close to our heart. They can also be used in more personal places such as your linen closet, bathroom, kitchen cabinets, or to set electronics on. Glass shelving can be used for delicate items such as items that you find priceless, beauty items, etc…
Shelves can not only be used as a place to keep things on display but can be used to keep our personal belongings such as our bathroom or kitchen products, our children’s toys, school or gym items, and other belongings. This gives people methods of organizing restrooms, kitchens, utility closets, sheds, and garages. On a larger scale, it allows facilities to display products, allows people to easily see what is on the shelf itself, and gives people a sense of organization.
Shelves can be installed in a variety of ways. They can be free standing, recessed into a wall, or front mounted. Depending on the preference of the facility and the accessibility to products or personal items, people find that each way of installing shelves are effective. Free standing shelves are typically mounted to the floor or the ceiling. These are typically used in places like grocery stores and allow customers four sides of the shelves to shop. Shelves that are recessed into the wall allow for that extra space without a shelf jetting out from the wall itself. Last, front mounted shelves allow people to quickly identify what is on the shelf.
Face it, shelves of all types will be seen and used throughout todays and tomorrows society. They are a necessity if we want to be organized, display anything, or just for our personal use.
