Most closets traditionally, have one shelf and rod across the closet. The shelf is usually a piece of pressed board or wood shelving resting on a pin rail. In addition, one will find a bending wood or aluminum rod beneath the shelf. Instead of a wood shelf, you may find an aluminum shelf above your rod which may end up bending with your rod depending on the weight placed on the shelf. Pressed board and wood shelves as well as wooden rods, may shag your clothes, also they usually warp.
Ventilated steel shelving is a super material used in organizing closets. Depending on the brand you choose for your closet, some can hold up to 100 pounds per linear foot. Special hardware is used with this material so it is not necessary to mount the shelving into studs. The open-air design allows air and light to reach every corner of your closet. Musty odors and mildew are minimized by the ventilation. Vinyl-coated shelving will not chip, crack, or peel and never needs painting, which makes it virtually maintenance-free. Allergic people will benefit from the dust-free properties of this material. Frank Lloyd Wright the famous architect used this same principle of ventilation when organizing linen closets, he inserted a cane into the center of the shelves.
The hanging rods in your closet are just as important as the shelving. With ventilated steel shelving, the steel rod is already attached to the material. An oak trim can be mounted onto the front of the wire shelving which will give you the warmth of a wood finish and all the advantages of ventilated steel shelving.
