There aren't any more garages or utility closets that are filled with storage racks. The racks seen today are well designed and are used in balconies, kitchens and retail stores. A balcony rack should withstand the weather elements and be aesthetically appealing for a high rise apartment. A kitchen rack should provide firm support for heavy pots and pans, and look good with stainless steel appliances. The items need to be properly displayed on a retail store rack, must be sturdy enough to take the pressure from all the customers and must add to the overall aesthetic of the store. Today's storage rack series address these various needs by carefully considering their design and the use of materials. Here is how.
1. Weather Resistant Designs for Balcony and Outdoor Use
Balconies expose storage racks to direct sun, rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Rusting, fading or warping happens to standard indoor racks in no time. A modern balcony rack is built using materials and finishes that are designed to withstand the elements.
Look for:
Powder coated aluminum or galvanized steel frames (rust resistant)
Powder coating with UV stabilization to ensure that it will not fade or chalk.
Adjustable feet to level rack on uneven balcony floors
Puddle-free, perforated or wire shelves for drainage of water.
Wood & metal racks include balcony specific racks with a thin profile (to save space) and decorative end panels. We have drying rack series that provide drying slats made of teak or eucalyptus wood on metal frames for those who prefer a more natural appearance. With 120,000 m² in Huizhou and 100,000 m² in Vietnam (total investment 350 million USD), our outdoor racks are designed to withstand coastal salt air and intense summer sun.
2. Space Efficient Solutions for Kitchens
Kitchens are space constrained and have high storage demands. A modern kitchen rack needs to fit all heavy cast iron pots, stackable mixing bowls and small appliances into a small space. It should also be aesthetically pleasing enough to be on open display, rather than behind cabinet doors.
Key kitchen rack comes with the following features:
Narrow depth (30-40cm) between Counter & Wall
Adjustable shelf heights for tall cereal boxes or small spice jars
Rack with optional casters for mobility (can be pulled out for cleaning)
Hooks to hang utensils, oven mitts or dish towels on side panels
Our storage rack series features kitchen specific rack with smooth rolling casters (two locking) and epoxy coated shelves that are resistant to food acids and cleaning chemicals. Kitchen racks in brushed stainless steel or matte black to match the tone of today's kitchen appliances are available for open kitchen designs. Deep, pull out storage racks make the most of hard-to-reach corners in the pantry.
3. Adjustable and Modular Systems for Retail Stores
Retail merchandising is dynamic in nature. A store may require the use of tall narrow racks for wall displays one month and low wide tables for promotion the following month. A contemporary store storage rack needs to be versatile without the need for any new capital investment.
Use modular systems, with:
Standardized uprights (such as, 120cm, 150cm, 180cm height)
Shelf beams that fit into pre punched 25mm holes
Multiple shelf types: Solid (small items), wire (for easy view of items), slanted (for magazine display)
Add on accessories: hanging bars, bin dividers, label holders, and locking doors
Deshunyi's storage rack series is all modular. Retail stores can be setup with a set of uprights and shelves and rearrange the layout according to the season. Racks with integrated pegboard backs for hanging tools are available for hardware stores. We have garment bars below the bottom shelf for clothing retailers. Our output is 500 million RMB per year and around 3,000 (40 foot) containers are exported annually, we produce the modular systems on scale and decrease the lead time for retail fit out project.
4. Coordinated Finishes Across Storage and Furniture
Storage racks for a modern home or retail space should blend in with the existing decor, rather than clash. Black racking alongside a walnut dining table looks out of place. Brushed nickel kitchen sink faucets and a chrome rack seem like an accident.
By using matte black, white, brushed nickel, walnut wood grain and natural oak finishes, our wood & metal series, bed series and shoe storage series share a common style. This means that you can choose a storage rack for your balcony that will coordinate with the coffee table in your living room, or a kitchen rack that will coordinate with the bed frame in a studio apartment. In the retail environment we match rack finishes with display fixtures, cash wraps and wall systems. More than 1800 staff members and two factories of production in China and Vietnam guarantee finish consistency of large volume orders.
