A storage wall, in building trade jargon, is a system of floor to ceiling cupboards, storage elements, and doorways that can be pre-assembled or assembled on site when building an office. Storage walls are either built against pre existing walls, or can be used as a room divider / acoustic wall themselves.
Storagewall is usually manufactured in MFC, and can be custom made to specific measurements to fit in with office requirements. Many manufacturers offer standard width size from 400mm to 1200mm. There are often different depths such as 400mm, 500mm or 600mm. Ceiling height is usually defined and cupboards built to match that height.
The efficiency of wall storage enables maximum floor to ceiling storage with minimal footprint by "going vertical" allowing them to store many more lever arch files than standard storage units.
Storage wall systems are created typically using pegboard type dowel systems, however some do an aluminium based system to provide structural strength.
The internal options of these systems are quite extensive - usually having shelves, drawers, roll out filing frames, pigeon holes, coat hangers and many more convenient storage methods. With the office place changing to become more open and interactive Storagewall is starting to become more popular, keeping storage to the perimeter of the office freeing up central working areas.
