Stainless Steel Wire Shelving
Stainless steel wire shelving systems provide us with one of the best shelving options available on the market today. Stainless steel is made from corrosion resistant alloy steel and has a good percentage of chrome in it. The anti corrosion properties come from the naturally occurring chrome rich oxide film that is formed on the steel’s surface, which though invisible, adheres tightly to the metal and protects it. This film has the added advantage of being self repairing in the face of abrasion or cutting, making stainless steel wire shelving the ideal storage solution.
The wire shelving units can be found in a wide range of sizes that are good for hospitals, laboratories, nursing homes, commercial bakeries and kitchens. The chrome stainless steel storage shelves are very suitable for wet storage and high contamination zones like sterile hospitals and the food services industry, where cleanliness has to be maintained to the highest degree. These solid stainless steel wire shelving units have supports underneath to prevent swaying or any kind of movement and you can get static and mobile models depending on the requirements to be met.
There are many advantages to using either chrome wire shelving or epoxy coated wire shelving in sterile environments; some of them are:
• Hygiene: stainless is very easy to clean and is generally the first choice for medical facilities, kitchens, abattoirs and food processing units. It is ideal for home storage in pantries and store rooms.
• Fire and heat resistance: the high level nickel alloy and chrome grades present in stainless steel makes it resistant to scaling and corrosion and helps it retain strength in high temperatures.
• Strength-weight: the properties of stainless steel all for a definite cost saving in terms of reduced material thickness over other conventional grades.
• Corrosion: the anti corrosion properties from the natural rich oxide film that forms over the steel’s surface helps prevent corrosion and allows the metal to be self repairing.
• Aesthetics: the bright and shiny appearance of the metal makes it attractive and provides a heightened sense of cleanliness.
• Fabrication: thanks in large part to modern techniques, stainless steel can be machined, formed, cut, welded and fabricated like any other steel.
• Value for money: when considered as a long term investment, the period of durability offsets the cost of the shelving.
Apart from being used for commercial and industrial purposes stainless steel wire shelving can also be used in homes; in kitchens, living areas, games areas, bathrooms and garages. The shelving units are very durable, sturdy and come in several sizes and designs to meet most requirements.
Metro shelving offers original wire storage handling systems that can take heavy loads easily, have shelves that can be adjusted and look good where ever you put them. The shelves can be adjusted to one inch height increments all along the posts with ease and the double grooves at periodical intervals along the posts help by providing a guide for positioning the shelves.
