Demand for the EZR range of wire mesh shelving systems is increasing dramatically; this new found popularity is mainly due to the needs of retailers who need to comply with ever more stringent fire and sprinkler rules laid down by insurance companies.

Wire mesh shelves fit perfectly on to EZR Trimline beams to create a sturdy shelving structure that is still easy to adjust whilst allowing greater sprinkler penetration in the event of a fire. Stockrooms are often full of cardboard, plastics and other flammable components, wire shelves on their own can't prevent the breakout of fire but when used in conjunction with an appropriate sprinkler system, they can greatly reduce the impact of a fire.


EZR Shelving's most recent project for a large toy retailer made use of a two-tier mezzanine shelving system that is essentially extra-tall shelving with a suspended walkway and a staircase to provide access. This installation greatly increased stock capacity for the customer by using all of the available stockroom height. The simple cost-effective solution of building upwards, creates an extra storage level without the need for a separate structural mezzanine floor.

Open grid flooring uses the lower level racking as a structural support, this type of flooring was specified to aid the sprinkler system's effectiveness but also helps to create a naturally well lit stockroom.

To comply with regulations, this two-tier shelving system had sprinklers at ground floor level and EZR worked closely with the designer and contractors to coordinate a seamless installation.

Raised aisle shelving does not normally effect the building's rateable value but does require building regulations approval and if required this can be included as part of the project.

EZR can incorporate a 2-tier mezzanine shelving system into just about any high-ceiling stockroom so long as clear headroom of around 4 metres is available.
