Static
Shelving Systems
The
impact of a Shelving System in library settings, more than any other
application, can determine the overall feeling of an area. Darkened
wood grains and muted colors can impart a sobering solemnity, while
lighter finishes with contrasting accents can bring with them a highly
contemporary quality. Traditional shelves can soften repetitive collections,
while open construction and airy finishes can highlight individual
volumes.
Many
benefits of RTI's diversity can be utilized in these areas. Sizing
flexibility allows full floor-to-ceiling installations, wall-to-wall
fit without gaps or fillers, and the ability to wrap corners and obstructions
for a literal built-in finish. Shelf openings can be predetermined
in 1" increments and a rear shelf deck can be added to allow
viewing of titles when double stacking is desired.
The most economical, all-steel construction can be incrementally augmented
to allow highlighting of only the most visible attributes such as
end panels or vertical facades without necessitating a universal increase
in costs.
Alternatively,
total customization can be achieved through color-matched finishes,
plastic laminate trims, hand finished woods in any available grain
and patina.
Whether your Library commands thousands of square feet or shares your
available corridors, RTI can satisfy any aesthetic or budgetary requirement. |
Whether
you're planning a new File Room for countless legal records, reconfiguring
a Mail Center serving hundreds of employees, or designating a small
area for collating a once-a-year mailing, contemporary workplaces
share a number of inescapable attributes: Restricted available space,
the need for a workable environment where sheer capacity must be mitigated
by accessibility and habitability, and the encompassing limitation
of budgetary constraints. These restrictions coupled with the seemingly
endless diversity of potential applications, is none-the-less easily
manageable through the implementation of RTI's broad product range
and planning abilities.
The most straightforward Stockroom can benefit from our flexibility
of sizes so that paper clips don't demand as much space as envelopes.
A Mail Counter can serve a double purpose as a packing station or
collating area by including overhead sorting bins, below counter storage,
or a recessed scale compartment. A satellite copy center can become
more functional with the simple addition of a 2 X 3 foot work counter
capable of storing and sorting 100 reams of paper below its plastic
laminate work surface. The seemingly minor addition of file supports,
backstops or reference shelves can drastically transform the appearance
and functionality of any filing area. Custom manufacturing can also
accommodate any specific need from audio/video equipment and tape
racks to the stringent demands of magnetic media.
These and hundreds of other applications can not only be accommodated
but maximized with the appropriate intermix of RTI's materials and
expertise. |
While
many installations can be easily categorized as Libraries, Mail
Rooms and File Areas, which share basic parameters, many others
demand a more comprehensive "from the ground up" approach.
The true versatility of any storage system is judged by its ability
to not only accommodate specialized requirements, but to be able
to adapt and reconfigure so as to realize the same productivity
and capacity improvements as with the more "mundane" applications.
With a handful! of basic component types and the manufacturing ability
to "size" these components, a virtually unlimited realm
of constructions are available.
While
a basic storage concept may be sufficient, the ability to selectively
implement components from other manufacturers as requirements demand
yields the best result, rather than the inherent limitations of
a single product line. Where, for example, movable shelving is indicated,
the ability to choose from the best mechanical equipment while maintaining
the flexibility of optimizing the storage units themselves often
eliminates significant losses from the mobile manufacturers "stock"
shelving. RTI's ability to couple our own unique construction with
the best available auxiliary equipment guarantees an optimal installation.
This equipment can range from simple storage cartons and parts bins,
staircases and signholders to various mezzanine dockings, lockers,
mobile storage systems and material handling equipment.
RTI's
ability to coherently interpret the actual requirements, specify
and coordinate the appropriate solution, while still maintaining
full manufacturer's control of the costs and materials that comprise
the bulk of the installation finally allows "single sourcing"
of an entire installation without the inherent shortcomings of either
a finite product line or the additional costs of a third party supplier.
