subject: Sprucing Up The Garage With Cabinetry [print this page] Out of all the rooms in your house, the garage is the one which tends to get all messy and disorganized the most often. Because of that, most people will always welcome an opportunity to add some storage space to it, so everything can be finally put in order. Fortunately, there is a way to not only provide you with all the extra storage space you need for your garage, but also to add some flair, character and style to it; cabinets. If youre worried about spending too much, youll be pleased to learn that cabinets are made in a plethora of materials, some being more affordable than others. The mainstream types of materials commonly used consist of plastic, wood and metal.
First of all, lets have a look at plastic. Being the most economic of the three options, it offers the worst performance in terms of quality and longevity. This material will please only those whore looking to add nothing but a little extra storage space for as cheap as possible, without sprucing up the place.
An option for the middle-class citizen would be wood. Its the material of choice when it comes to making cabinets, since not only does it offer more than adequate protection from different hazards (provided it has a correctly applied protective coating) , but its also easily shapeable into pretty much any style or design desired. These usually last a very long time (up to10 years with proper care), and the models which are hung on the wall can support from 250-350 pounds of load. This is the ideal choice if you want to strike the balance between price, practicality and style.
Lastly, we have the more expensive, fancier alternative, which is metal. With a higher price comes greater quality, and metal cabinets are the most resilient as well as the most aesthetically pleasing out of the three materials. Metal cabinetry is usually made out of either aluminum or stainless steel, and most designs can support from 800-1000 lbs of pressure. It also gives your garage a clean, sharp and modern flow.
These are but some of the materials available when choosing your cabinetry, and Id advise you to at least perform some searches on the internet or browse a catalog so as to really see all of the options available to you.
