INSTALLATIONS YEAR ROUND
If you're looking for a good solution for home or commercial garage storage cabinets, there are plenty of options - but not all of them are going to be worth the time and investment. You need strong and durable garage cabinets which can stand up to plenty of abuse while having the strength to hold relatively heavy items like power tools.
So, in this article, we wanted to talk a bit about garage cabinet ideas to avoid because they're going to be more trouble than they're worth.
1. Old kitchen cabinets
A popular DIY / cost-saving tip is to take old kitchen cabinets and repurpose them for use in a garage. The problem is that most kitchen cabinets simply weren't designed for use in a garage, particularly wooden cabinets.
Most garages don't have climate control, so their temperatures fluctuate, and they're also prone to moisture - which is the bane of wooden features. Kitchen cabinets in a garage are virtually guaranteed to start warping and discoloring and might even develop rot if they get damp enough. Additionally, the sizes of kitchen cabinets are not as large as garage cabinets so they do not make a good storage solution for a garage.
2. Cheap plastic cabinets
There's no shortage of cost-saving plastic cabinets - and you get exactly what you pay for. Plastic, at least, won't rot. However, these cabinets, even those billed as commercial garage storage solutions, are typically not strong and durable enough to stand up to heavy use. They can't hold nearly as much weight as the items many people want to store in them.
On top of that, they're easy to damage because they tend to be brittle and can become even more brittle in cold temperatures. They simply aren't worth the money. Very soon they plastic warps and shelves fall and doors do not close properly.
When you want sturdy cabinets for your home or commercial garage, a good commercial grade cabinet really your best option by far. Quality Commercial Grade Cabinets will provide a far longer lifespan, as well as being able to hold up much more weight. They will also be much nicer looking cabinets and should be available in a variety of colors..
This is a situation where paying more for a premium option is worth the investment and will save you a lot of headaches in the long run especially if you choose Garage Finisher’s Lifetime Warranted Commercial Grade Garage Cabinets.
