What's the difference?
1 Comment21 March 2019 | Melissa
We often get asked what the difference between our styles of shelving & fixings systems are, so we have created a table which illustrates & details the differences between our shelving types (see below).
We also provide information on suitable applications for each style of shelf, and the size options that are available for each type.
We hope that this helps, but if you do have any more questions or require more detailed information on any of our products, please feel free to call us on 01622 872006 or email us: sales@organisemyhome.com

All ClosetMaid steel ventilated wire shelves are cold drawn - significantly improving the average tensile strength & performance characteristics of the steel.
ClosetMaid shelving is created by welding every wire-to-wire intersection, with each weld protected against corrosion by a vinyl coating that fully encapsulates both the wires & welds - a method superior to standard epoxy coatings because it is more resistant to chipping & discoloration.
Traditional epoxy coatings tend to provide less coverage, sealing only at wire weld joints & exposing the substrate to environmental humidity & promoting rust that compromises material integrity.
