What are the different types of commercial shelving and materials used in it?

 

Having suitable restaurant shelving in your kitchen is one of the integral aspects of owning and running a thriving and dynamic restaurant. There are an array of various shelves made of different metals and materials you can pick from to store your ingredients, dishes, tools, cutlery, and more!

Types of Shelving

• Solid Shelves

Solid shelves don’t have support, which means nothing will slip through as they might with vented shelves. Solid shelves are more comfortable to clean but do not provide the same type of ventilation that slatted shelves do.

• Vented (aka Slatted) Shelves

Vented shelves are excellent for cold storage because the ventilation provides for great product life. These shelves can be more difficult to clean, but there are alternatives to purchase shelving with detachable parts for simpler cleaning.

Material Types

• Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is remarkably long-lasting and corrosion-resistant. Regardless of temperature, stainless steel is strong in any conditions.

• Chrome Wire

Shelving made with chrome wire serves well in warm or heated conditions and for dry storage.

• Polymer

Polymer shelving is very repellent to corrosion and its dishwasher is safe. You will get innumerable designs and patterns in this material across the market.

There are lots of options when it comes to shelving making it tough to decide which is most suitable for your restaurant. Remember to make sure your shelving is practical but also supports health codes and guidelines.
