Common Questions About Break Room Storage
Do I need shelving or cabinets?
Break room shelving provides easy and inexpensive storage, while cabinets offer a more streamlined aesthetic. Break room cabinets hide stored items and keep the break room feeling clean and organized, but shelving units leave stored items in plain view. To decide which option is best for your operation, consider your budget, employees' storage needs, and how you want your break room to look .
Should I choose wire or solid break room shelving?
The two main styles of shelving are wire and solid. Wire shelving consists of open wires that run the width and depth of the unit, leaving gaps for air to circulate around the stored goods. Solid shelving provides level support for small items that might slide between open wire shelving. If you will be storing liquids or small items, solid shelving will keep liquids level and prevent small items from falling. If the units will be primarily used for lunchboxes or perishable goods, open wire shelving will keep those items fresh.
What type of wire shelving should I get?
Wire shelving varies by the coating that is on their wires. Chrome-plated open wires are popular because of their corrosion-resistant properties and shiny finish, but zinc or epoxy-coated wire shelves have similar corrosion resistance. Stainless steel shelving can be open or solid and offers a nice look as well as easy cleaning and corrosion resistance.
What size break room cabinet do I need?
If your budget permits, opt for more storage space than you think you'll need. If employees fill up existing storage or you have no current storage, the amount of personal items they're bringing is likely limited by the lack of space. When more storage space becomes available, employees may want to bring more things. This increase in use could surprise an operator who has just purchased extra storage space and finds it already full. When considering how much storage space to plan for, ask your employees if there's anything more they would like to bring if storage space allowed.
