It's the cornerstone of our company, but we know that navigating the many options we offer may feel overwhelming at times. That's why we've put together a buyer's guide to ensure your purchase will be the perfect fit for your needs! Explore our breakdown below to see what wire shelving solution is best for you.


Types of Wire Shelving

Choosing the right type of wire shelving is the most critical step, as it determines where your shelving can be safely and effectively used.

Chrome Wire Shelving

Our chrome wire shelving is the classic, versatile, and most economical choice for dry storage environments. We do not typically recommend using chrome in damp or humid areas. It works best for: 

  • Offices
  • Pantries
  • Display
  • Closets
  • Living Spaces
  • Entryways

Our chrome wire shelving comes in both heavy duty and standard duty units.

Rust-Proof & Anti-Microbial Solutions:

For humid, wet, or freezer environments, longevity is key. We offer several premium solutions: 

  • Black and Green Wire Shelving: Our black and green wire shelving have an epoxy coated layer to protect the shelving and resist the elements. Ideal for foodservice operations, garages, outdoor storage, and warehouses of varying temperatures.
  • Stainless Steel: The ultimate heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant option. Durable and built to last in the most demanding conditions, like walk-in refrigerators.
  • Nexel Nexelon Finish: A high-end, polymer-coated steel that offers a lifetime warranty against rust, mold, mildew, and corrosion. It's an excellent choice for freezers, coolers, and high-humidity areas.

NSF Approved Wire Shelving

The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certification is essential for environments requiring strict hygiene standards. All Shelving Inc. wire shelving products are NSF certified, with a designation on majority of our wire shelving components. Industries and spaces that must have NSF certified shelving include: 

  • Industrial Kitchens
  • Food Service Applications
  • Medical Spaces
  • Sterile Labs
