What are my wire commercial shelving material options?

Because wire restaurant shelves have an open design, they enable air to circulate around product, which means they’re ideal for storing perishable items. There are a few different finishes available for wire shelves, each meant for different conditions.

• Stainless steel foodservice shelving offers high resistance to rust and scratches. It can withstand moist conditions, making it suitable for use in dry storage pantries and humid walk-in coolers and freezers.
• Chromate commercial kitchen shelving is a more affordable option when compared to stainless steel alternatives; it has moderate scratch resistance and works great in low-humidity or dry storage environments.
• Zinc-plated shelves have a bright, shiny finish that’s aesthetically pleasing but offers low resistance to corrosion. This type of shelving is often used for customer-facing applications and isn’t recommended for humid environments.
• Epoxy-coated shelving is available in black or green and has very high corrosion resistance, although it can be susceptible to scuffing. Like stainless steel shelving, epoxy-coated options are recommended for dry storage and walk-in coolers and freezers.
