When the first pallet is loaded into the racking, the pallet is stored on the first position in the lane. When the second pallet is loaded into the racking, the first pallet then pushes back behind it one position. This process then continues until the lane is full. To retrieve the pallets the operation is reversed. A push back racking system will increase your storage capacity and simplify your warehouse operations, allowing you to conduct schemes that will save you time and money. This operation is also accessible using most types of handling equipment. You can organise all of the pallets which will make a complete lorry load, this will reduce both lorry waiting time as well as travel time for in-house transport.

From improved workflow and warehouse organisation to upgraded office and staff facilities, these real projects show how businesses can create better space and support growth without the cost and disruption of relocating. Introduction For many businesses, growth creates a familiar problem. The building that once felt spacious begins to feel restrictive. Warehouses become harder to navigate, staff facilities no longer support the team properly, and workflows become slower and less efficient. At that point, relocating often seems like the obvious next step. However, moving premises is not always the best solution. It brings cost, disruption and operational risk. Increasingly, businesses are discovering that an industrial fit out or refurbishment can solve the same challenges while allowing them to stay exactly where they are. At Total Interiors Direct, we work with businesses across the UK to improve how their buildings function through tailored industrial fit out services. From warehouse layouts and welfare facilities to office environments and operational flow, the aim is always the same. Make the space work harder without interrupting the business. The following projects show how three very different organisations transformed their working environments without relocating. ProCook: Bringing Everything Under One Roof Image Credit: ProCook As one of the UK’s leading kitchenware brands, ProCook experienced rapid growth following increased demand and expansion across retail and ecommerce. Their existing warehouse setup had reached its limits, forcing the business to rely on external storage and split operations across multiple sites. The challenge was not simply creating more storage. ProCook needed a fully coordinated industrial fit out that would support warehousing, office functions and staff welfare within a single headquarters and distribution centre. Total Interiors Direct were appointed to oversee the fit-out phase... --- > Outgrowing your space? Discover how industrial fit out and commercial office fit out services help improve workflow, space and productivity without relocating. - Published: 2026-04-10 - Modified: 2026-04-09 - URL: https://totalinteriorsdirect.co.uk/outgrowing-your-space-why-an-industrial-fit-out-or-office-refurbishment-could-be-the-better-move/ - Categories: Industrial Fit-Outs Outgrowing your space does not always mean you need to move. This guide explains how industrial fit out and commercial office fit out projects help businesses improve layout, workflow and staff facilities, creating more usable space and better performance without the cost and disruption of relocating premises. Introduction As businesses grow, space pressure is often one of the first challenges to appear. Storage areas become congested, workflows slow down, and office spaces no longer reflect the size or structure of the team. At that point, many companies begin to consider moving premises. However, relocating is rarely as straightforward as it sounds. It brings cost, disruption, downtime and risk. In many cases, the issue is not the size of the building, but how well it is being used. That is why more businesses across the UK are choosing an industrial fit out instead. Rather than moving, they are improving the space they already have and making it work harder for them. Why Businesses Outgrow Their Space Outgrowing a building does not always mean it is too small. More often, it means the layout no longer supports the way the business operates. You may recognise some of the common signs: Storage areas that are full but poorly organised Inefficient workflows that slow down daily operations Teams working in spaces that feel cramped or disconnected Offices that no longer reflect the size or structure of the business Staff facilities that are outdated or no longer fit for purpose These problems are not always solved by moving. In fact, relocating without addressing layout issues can simply transfer the same inefficiencies into a new building. An industrial fit out focuses on solving these problems at their source. Improving Flow and Productivity One of the biggest benefits of industrial fit out services is... --- > Planning a mezzanine floor? Discover what businesses should consider before installing mezzanine floor industrial systems and how mezzanine floors UK create space without moving. - Published: 2026-03-12 - Modified: 2026-03-10 - URL: https://totalinteriorsdirect.co.uk/what-to-consider-before-installing-a-mezzanine-floor/ - Categories: Mezzanine Floors Installing a mezzanine floor can unlock valuable space within your existing building, but careful planning is essential. This guide explains what businesses should consider before installing mezzanine floors, from layout and load capacity to safety and future growth, helping you create more room without moving premises. Introduction Businesses across the UK often reach the same point in their growth journey. The building begins to feel full. Storage areas become crowded, production space tightens and teams start working around limitations instead of working efficiently. Moving to a new premises may appear to be the obvious answer, but relocation brings cost, disruption and risk. In many cases, the space required is already available within the existing building. The challenge is making better use of it. A mezzanine floor industrial system allows companies to unlock the unused height above them and convert it into practical working space. However, installing a mezzanine floor is not simply about adding another level. The real value comes from designing the structure properly, so it supports the way the business operates today and how it plans to grow in the future. Before committing to a mezzanine project, there are several important considerations that help ensure the final result delivers long term value. Understanding How the Space Will Be Used The first step in designing mezzanine floors UK businesses rely on is understanding how the additional space will be used. Different applications place different demands on the structure, and a well-designed mezzanine begins with a clear purpose. Some companies require extra storage capacity for pallets, cartons or bulk goods. Others want to introduce office areas, meeting rooms or staff facilities above the warehouse floor. In some environments the mezzanine becomes a dedicated area for picking, packing or light production. Each of these uses requires different... --- > See how UK businesses used mezzanine floors to unlock extra space, grow operations and avoid moving premises with smart mezzanine floor solutions. - Published: 2026-02-05 - Modified: 2026-02-05 - URL: https://totalinteriorsdirect.co.uk/how-a-mezzanine-floor-helped-our-customers-grow-without-moving/ - Categories: Mezzanine Floors Discover how three UK businesses unlocked hidden height and expanded without relocating. These real projects show how mezzanine floors create valuable new working areas, support growth and help companies make better use of the buildings they already occupy. Many businesses reach a point where growth feels limited by the walls around them. Storage areas overflow, new staff need desks, and production zones become squeezed. Moving premises is often the first idea that comes to mind, but it is rarely the most practical or cost-effective solution. Across the UK, more organisations are discovering that their building is bigger than they think. By installing mezzanine floor industrial solutions, they are unlocking unused height and creating valuable new working areas without changing postcode. These real projects show how mezzanine floors UK businesses rely on are helping companies expand in place. Plumbworld Plumbworld is a major bathroom retailer with a fast-moving distribution operation. As order volumes increased, the pressure on floor level space became a real challenge. Storage areas were stretched, and the business needed more capacity to support picking, packing and stock holding without disrupting daily operations. Rather than relocating to a larger site, Plumbworld chose to look upward. The height inside their building offered a clear opportunity to add usable space, and a mezzanine floor was the most effective way to achieve that. The new structure created a substantial additional level that could be tailored around their warehouse processes and growth plans. With the mezzanine in place, Plumbworld gained vital extra storage and working areas while keeping everything under one roof. The project allowed them to scale their operation, improve organisation on the warehouse floor and continue trading from the same location. It is a strong example of how turning... --- > A mezzanine floor helps businesses unlock unused height, create more working space and grow without moving premises. Discover why mezzanines make sense for 2026. - Published: 2026-01-06 - Modified: 2026-01-06 - URL: https://totalinteriorsdirect.co.uk/why-a-mezzanine-floor-could-be-the-smartest-way-to-gain-space-in-2026/ - Categories: Mezzanine Floors Many buildings have unused height that could be working harder. This guide explains what a mezzanine floor is and why so many UK businesses choose mezzanine floors to gain space, improve organisation and support growth without the cost and disruption of moving premises. As businesses look ahead to 2026, many are facing the same challenge. They need more space, but moving premises is expensive, disruptive and often unnecessary. What many organisations overlook is the amount of unused height already sitting above their heads. A mezzanine floor offers a practical way to turn that empty height into working space. Whether for storage, offices or production areas, mezzanine floors allow businesses to expand within their existing building and stay exactly where they are. What Is a Mezzanine Floor? A mezzanine floor is an intermediate level built within an existing building, typically between the ground floor and the roof. It creates additional usable floor space without altering the building footprint. In industrial and commercial environments, mezzanine floor industrial solutions are commonly used to add storage areas, office space, packing zones or light production areas. The key benefit is that they make use of vertical space that would otherwise remain unused. For many businesses across the UK, mezzanine floors are a long-term solution to growth rather than a short-term fix. Why Businesses Choose Mezzanine Floors The most common reason businesses install mezzanine floors is simple. They need more room. But the motivation behind that need often varies. Some companies are growing their stock range and need extra storage. Others are expanding their teams and require office or welfare space. Some want to separate different activities within the same building to improve flow and efficiency. A mezzanine floor allows all of this to happen without relocating. It keeps... --- > Safe pallet racking inspections and simple maintenance help prevent costly repairs and keep warehouse racking secure and ready for 2026. - Published: 2025-12-15 - Modified: 2025-12-10 - URL: https://totalinteriorsdirect.co.uk/safe-strong-and-ready-for-2026-looking-after-your-racking/ - Categories: Racking Inspections Looking after your racking is essential for safety, efficiency and smooth warehouse operations. This guide explains how regular inspections, simple damage checks and clear aisles help keep your racking strong, compliant and ready for 2026, while reducing the risk of costly repairs and unplanned downtime. As businesses plan ahead for 2026, warehouse safety and performance should sit right at the top of the priority list. Racking systems work hard every day and often take more punishment than people realise. Minor impacts, careless loading, blocked aisles and unseen damage can all lead to serious safety risks if left unchecked. Looking after your warehouse pallet storage racks is not just about ticking a box. It protects your staff, your stock and your operations. With regular inspections, simple damage checks and clear working practices, your industrial warehouse racks can continue to support your business safely and efficiently well into the year ahead. Why Racking Safety Matters More Than Ever Racking systems sit at the heart of warehouse operations. When they are working properly, they improve storage density, speed up movement and keep goods organised. When they become damaged or poorly maintained, they quickly become a risk. Small knocks from forklifts, overloaded beams or altered layouts can weaken a structure over time. These issues often go unnoticed until a bigger problem occurs. That is why pallet racking suppliers and industry bodies consistently advise regular visual checks and formal inspections as part of everyday warehouse management. Good racking safety is not only about avoiding accidents. It also prevents stock damage, reduces downtime and avoids costly racking repairs further down the line. Regular Inspections Keep Problems Small Routine inspections are one of the most effective ways to keep warehouse racking pallet systems safe. These do not need to be complicated.

These three customer stories show how better racking layouts and the right mix of storage systems helped businesses free up space, improve flow and create safer, more organised sites. Discover how tailored solutions can turn a constrained warehouse into a smooth-running operation. Many warehouses reach a point where the building feels full even though there is still space to reclaim. Stock creeps into aisles, bulk items end up in temporary holding areas, and teams spend more time working around problems than solving them. At Total Interiors we regularly help businesses turn these situations around with industrial warehouse racks that are designed around their operations. The following three customer stories show how the right storage layout transforms a site from full to flowing. These examples come from very different sectors. One is a busy FMCG distributor. One is a national retail brand with a fast-growing ecommerce operation. One is a builder’s merchant with large and awkward stock. All of them had the same challenge which was the need for more usable space without moving premises. By choosing the right mix of warehouse pallet storage racks, cantilever pallet rack systems and pallet racking suppliers who understand their industry, each business won back valuable capacity and improved day to day efficiency. Nuovo Foods: Turning an Empty Warehouse into a High-Capacity Distribution Hub Nuovo Foods is a leading fast moving consumer goods distributor specialising in Asian food and beverages. The company acquired a new 85,000 sq. ft distribution centre in West Bromwich to serve retailers and food service providers across the United Kingdom and Europe.

Discover how better design transforms capacity. - Published: 2025-11-21 - Modified: 2025-11-18 - URL: https://totalinteriorsdirect.co.uk/racking-that-makes-every-square-metre-pay-how-smarter-layouts-free-up-space/ - Categories: Pallet Racking Many warehouses feel full long before they reach true capacity. With a smarter pallet racking layout, you can reclaim unused height, improve stock flow and create a safer, more efficient workspace. This guide explains how thoughtful design helps you make every square metre pay without moving premises. Many warehouses feel full long before they genuinely reach capacity. Pallets creep into aisles. Goods sit wherever they will fit. Staff spend more time working around storage than working with it. The result is a building that seems too small even when there is plenty of unused space above head height or hidden in inefficient layouts. This is where a smarter racking layout changes everything. By looking at the way space is used rather than simply adding more equipment, businesses can reveal capacity they did not realise they already had. The right approach helps you organise stock more efficiently, free up the floor, and make every square metre earn its keep. Why Layout Matters More Than You Think Most warehouse space problems stem from layout rather than volume. Over time, storage grows organically. A pallet racking system is added here, a block stack line appears there, and soon the building resembles a patchwork of quick fixes. Even robust pallet racks warehouse setups can struggle if the layout beneath them is not planned around the flow of stock. A well-designed scheme does more than increase capacity. It helps create a safer and more predictable environment. Clear aisles reduce product damage. Defined storage zones prevent bottlenecks. Staff waste less time searching for stock. The warehouse becomes easier to run day to day. Using Height Properly to Free Up the Floor One of the biggest missed opportunities is unused vertical space. Many facilities operate with low or mid-level shelving that leaves two or... --- > Discover why cantilever racking for builders merchants is the smart storage solution for timber, plasterboard, and steel.

If you’ve spent any time around a builder’s merchant, you’ll know it's not just about nails and screws. Yards are stacked with a wide variety of materials, many of which are long, awkward, and heavy. Here’s a quick rundown of the usual suspects: 1. Timber and Sheet Materials Builders yards commonly stock: Softwood and hardwood lengths Plywood and OSB boards MDF Treated timber and fencing posts These materials are bulky, vary in length, and require careful handling to avoid warping or damage. 2. Plasterboard and Drywall Sheets Plasterboard is: Large and flat, usually 2400mm x 1200mm Fragile and prone to edge damage Heavy when stacked Improper storage can lead to breakage or unnecessary wastage. 3.

The expertise of professional mezzanine floor installers ensures your fit-out doesn’t just look good, but ticks all the boxes for safety, compliance, and performance. Let’s take a closer look at why pros matter, and how Total Interiors Direct brings this expertise to every job. Why Professional Installation Matters for Mezzanine Floors Adding a mezzanine floor isn’t like putting up a shelf—these structures carry heavy loads, affect building dynamics, and must meet strict UK regulations. Here's where the professionals come in. 1. Ensuring Structural Safety through Accurate Load Calculations One of the most critical aspects of mezzanine installation is understanding how much weight your new floor can carry—now and in the future. Professional mezzanine floor installers perform detailed load assessments, factoring in: Live load (people, furniture, equipment) Dead load (floor materials and structure) Dynamic load (movements, vibrations) Safety margins, as required by BS EN 1991 and BS 5950 standards At Total Interiors Direct, our engineers use advanced modelling software and decades of experience to ensure every installation is structurally sound. We don’t guess—we calculate. 2. Full Compliance with UK Building Regulations It’s not enough to build a mezzanine that works—it has to meet building control regulations, too. That includes: Fire safety measures: escape routes, fire protection, sprinkler systems Headroom clearance and stair dimensions Disabled access where required Planning permissions (if applicable) Cutting corners on compliance can lead to heavy fines—or worse, complete removal. We liaise with building inspectors, local authorities, and fire consultants to ensure every project is delivered with zero legal headaches. 3. Time-Saving & Cost-Effective Fit-Out Process Fit-outs can be a logistical nightmare if not managed properly. Delays cost money, and poor communication only makes things worse. Here’s how working with experienced mezzanine floor installers helps: Streamlined project management Clear communication with other... --- > Looking to buy from a UK manufacturer of cantilever racking?

This guide unpacks what buyers should know when sourcing from a UK manufacturer of cantilever racking—highlighting lead times, compliance with British Standards, and tailored sizing. A helpful guide for buyers looking to source UK-made cantilever racks When you’re sourcing cantilever racking for your warehouse, workshop, or industrial facility, the decision isn’t just about price or aesthetics. If you’re buying from a UK manufacturer of cantilever racking, you’re already on the right track — especially when it comes to faster delivery, trusted compliance, and custom-fit solutions. But here’s the kicker: not all UK manufacturers offer the same quality, turnaround, or flexibility. This guide breaks down what buyers need to consider before making a purchase, so you can confidently choose a supplier that ticks all the right boxes — whether you're managing a large industrial site or upgrading your small business storage. Why Choose a UK Manufacturer for Cantilever Racking? Before we dig into the checklist, let’s talk benefits. Why opt for a UK manufacturer of cantilever racking rather than importing or buying off-the-shelf from a third-party reseller? Here’s what you stand to gain: Faster Turnaround Times: With local manufacturing, lead times are significantly shorter. You’ll avoid international shipping delays, customs issues, and language barriers. British Standards Compliance: UK-based manufacturers are more likely to adhere to BS EN 1993 and other relevant standards — critical for safety and insurance requirements. Custom Dimensions & Configurations: Working with a local team means tailored layouts and dimensions are easier to achieve without costly design revisions.

Here's why UK businesses should consider them for their warehouse needs. Running a warehouse in the UK comes with its own unique set of challenges: space limitations, strict regulations, and the need for efficient storage solutions to keep operations running smoothly. That’s where cantilever racking systems step in as the go-to solution for many UK businesses. Designed to handle bulky or long items like timber, steel pipes, and furniture, these racks are changing the game in warehouse storage. In this article, we’ll dive into the top five benefits of cantilever warehouse racks and why they’re the perfect fit for the UK market. 1. Maximising Space in Smaller UK Warehouses One of the biggest pain points for UK warehouse managers is space – or the lack of it. With smaller warehouses often being the norm due to high property costs, businesses need a storage solution that makes the most of every square foot. Cantilever racking is designed for exactly that. Because these racks allow for vertical stacking of long, bulky materials without the need for a lot of horizontal space, they maximise storage capacity. Whether you're storing steel beams, timber, or oversized goods, cantilever racks help you keep everything organised without wasting valuable space. Why it’s ideal for the UK: The UK market is filled with smaller industrial units and warehouses where space optimisation is key.

Why Perimeter Fencing Security Matters Warehouse operations often involve high volumes of valuable inventory, which means security vulnerabilities can lead to significant financial losses and operational disruption. Perimeter fencing acts as a physical barrier, clearly marking the boundaries of the property and discouraging unauthorised access. But it does more than just draw lines around your facility; it can serve as a deterrent, a delay mechanism for potential intruders, and a critical part of your overall security strategy. The Role of Perimeter Fencing in Warehouse Security Deterrence: Perimeter fencing security provides a visible and robust deterrent against would-be trespassers or thieves. Simply seeing a solid, well-maintained fence can discourage opportunists from attempting entry. Access Control: Fences allow warehouse managers to control and monitor who enters and exits the facility. With security gates, surveillance, and proper fencing, you can restrict entry points to authorised personnel only. Delayed Intrusion: High-quality fencing solutions slow down intruders if they do try to break in. This provides security teams with valuable time to respond to any breach. Enhanced Surveillance: Well-placed perimeter fences can help... --- > Discover how to design functional and aesthetic mezzanine offices with tips on furniture placement, lighting, and decor.

In this blog, we'll explore innovative storage solutions that make the most of limited warehouse space, focusing on warehouse pallet racks, top racking storage solutions, and overall warehouse storage solutions. Vertical Storage Solutions One of the most effective ways to maximise space in a small warehouse is by thinking vertically. Invest in warehouse pallet racks that allow you to store items vertically, taking advantage of the height of your space. Vertical storage not only increases capacity but also enhances accessibility. Consider adjustable racks that can be tailored to the height of your products, ensuring efficient use of every inch. Top Racking Storage Solutions Top racking storage solutions offer a strategic approach to utilising overhead space. Install top racks above workstations or areas with minimal traffic to store lightweight items or seasonal inventory. This not only keeps the floor clear for other operations but also prevents the wastage of valuable vertical space. Top racking is particularly beneficial for warehouses dealing with a high volume of goods with varying shapes and sizes. Modular Shelving Systems Invest in modular shelving systems that can be customised to fit the specific needs of your warehouse. These systems allow for flexible configurations, making it easier to adapt to changing inventory requirements. Consider shelving units with adjustable heights and interchangeable components to accommodate a variety of products. This versatility ensures that your storage solution can evolve with your business.

The demand for efficient, sustainable, and technologically advanced storage solutions is pushing the industry to explore new horizons. In this blog post, we delve into the current and emerging trends in warehouse storage, with a special focus on top racking storage solutions. Sustainable Storage Practices One of the prominent trends in warehouse storage solutions is the shift towards sustainability. As businesses increasingly embrace eco-friendly practices, warehouses are no exception. Sustainable storage practices involve the use of environmentally friendly materials, energy-efficient technologies, and waste reduction strategies. Top racking storage solutions are aligning with sustainability goals by incorporating recycled and recyclable materials in their designs. Moreover, companies are adopting energy-efficient lighting systems and exploring renewable energy sources to power their warehouses. These actions help the environment and save money for businesses in the long run. Automation and Robotics The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics is revolutionising warehouse storage. Automation is streamlining operations, improving efficiency, and reducing the margin of error in inventory management. AI-driven systems can predict demand patterns, optimise storage configurations, and enhance overall warehouse productivity. Robotic systems are employing in the realm of top racking storage solutions to maximise vertical space utilisation. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are designed to navigate through narrow aisles and transport goods to and from high-reaching racks with precision. This increases storage and reduces manual work, leading to faster and more accurate order completion.

Whether you are dealing with a vast distribution centre or a smaller storage facility, the way you organise and manage your inventory can significantly impact your overall productivity. In this blog post, we will explore practical tips and tricks for optimising warehouse storage space, with a focus on warehouse storage solutions and top racking storage solutions. 1. Strategic Layout Planning The foundation of an optimised warehouse starts with strategic layout planning. Consider the nature of your inventory, the frequency of movement, and the order-picking process. Group similar items together, placing frequently picked products closer to the shipping area to reduce travel time. A well-thought-out layout minimises congestion, streamlines workflow, and enhances overall operational efficiency. 2. Invest in High-Quality Racking Systems Warehouse storage solutions begin with sturdy and versatile racking systems. Choose racks that can be easily adjusted to accommodate different product sizes. Adjustable pallet racking, for example, allows for flexible storage heights and configurations, adapting to the evolving needs of your inventory. 3. Implement FIFO (First In, First Out) Inventory System To ensure product freshness and prevent spoilage, especially in industries dealing with perishable goods, adopt the FIFO inventory system. This approach ensures that the oldest inventory is used first, reducing the risk of expiration and minimising waste. Properly labelled racks and inventory tracking systems are crucial for successful FIFO implementation. 4. Utilise Vertical Space with Top Racking Storage Solutions When floor space is at a premium, look upwards!... --- > Explore the world of industrial pallet racks with our comprehensive comparative analysis.

Industrial pallet racks play a pivotal role in warehouse management, influencing everything from accessibility to overall efficiency. In this comparative analysis, we will delve into various industrial pallet rack systems available in the market, evaluating their features, benefits, and potential drawbacks. Armed with this knowledge, your decision-making process can be more informed, aligning with the specific needs of your warehouse. Selective Pallet Racking Systems Features Accessibility: Selective pallet racks allow for direct access to each pallet, making them ideal for warehouses with a diverse range of products that require frequent picking. Adjustability: The system is highly adaptable, allowing for easy reconfiguration to accommodate changing inventory needs. Benefits Efficient Space Utilisation: Selective pallet racks make the most of available vertical space, maximising storage capacity. Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of products, making them a popular choice for various industries. Drawbacks Not Ideal for Bulk Storage: If a significant portion of your inventory is stored in bulk, selective pallet racking may not be the most space-efficient option. Drive-In Racking Systems Features High-Density Storage: Drive-in and drive-through racks maximise storage density by allowing forklifts to drive directly into the rack system. Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) Storage: Ideal for products with a longer shelf life as it facilitates the rotation of inventory. Benefits Cost-Effective: These systems often require fewer aisles, leading to reduced construction and operational costs.

Storage solutions designed for Third party fulfilment & logistics. - Published: 2021-10-26 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://totalinteriorsdirect.co.uk/third-party-warehouse/ - Categories: Warehousing The beginning of any storage solution in a Third-Party Warehouse is racking. Every warehouse will need to have some form of storage solution in order to store the items they ship for their clients. Some clients may require picking and packing processes which are then sent directly to the end customer, others may only require pallets to be shipped. The various ways a 3PL can provide flexible services for their clients is endless. Create a system A detailed labeling system in your warehouse can solve many navigational problems. By linking each client with a specific code your employees can then find the pallet spaces efficiently and either pick the items for packing or move the pallet for shipping. By not only labeling the aisles, but also the pallet spaces you can ensure your warehouse is set up for success. In order to increase your available space, you can opt to have narrow aisles in your warehouse. Using an articulated forklift truck provides you with more flexibility as they work in limited areas. Adjustable pallet racking is the most popular storage solution due to its flexibility. If you need to amend the configuration of your pallet bays, you can do this with help from properly trained installers. It is important to contact your supplier to ensure the configuration is still safe for use. Double the footprint Creating dedicated packing and shipping areas can help create the right flow of work throughout your warehouse.

Speak with Team Total to see if we can help. - Published: 2020-11-24 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://totalinteriorsdirect.co.uk/refurbishment-vs-new-build/ - Categories: Warehousing The biggest question on business owners’ minds when they begin to outgrow their space is refurbishment vs new build. Each option has pros and cons associated with them. While a new build will offer more space in a potentially short turnaround, you would need to consider the location. If you already employ people, you would need to think about the change in travel. If the new location is out of reach for many of your employees, what would happen? Many businesses worry that a refurbishment will encroach on their business activities. However, when choosing your contractors, you can make it clear that work will still be continued. They will then be able to plan with you and your staff how the work will commence. An experienced team will make the refurbishment process as smooth and stress-free as possible. There are many ways you can increase the space in your current offices and warehouse. Using Mezzanine Floors is the most obvious, this will make use of the space overhead giving you an extra floor. Cleaver positioning of partitioning and shelving can create zones that will allow for a more segmented workspace while providing storage. How long do refurbishments take? How long is a piece of string? The length of time required for a refurbishment project depends entirely on the size of the space and the level of detail. A simple welfare facility refurbishment may only take a few weeks, a complete office refurbishment with facilities and storage areas would take longer.... --- > Make your warehouse work for you not against you. Contact Total to create more space. - Published: 2020-10-19 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://totalinteriorsdirect.co.uk/industrial-warehouse-design/ - Categories: Warehousing Make your warehouse work for you, not against you. All warehouses need to be designed effectively. Industrial warehouse design is not dissimilar to standard warehouse storage. There are many similar factors to consider when designing your industrial warehouse:storage areas, aisles, and gangwayspedestrian traffic routes;staircases and ramps;emergency escape routes; having the right design for your warehouse layout will help reduce accidents, including those with moving vehicles. Refurbishment projects have increased as more and more companies look to us to help provide space-saving solutions for their existing buildings rather than go to the expense of a new build or extension. Before deciding to move, consider all options that are available to you. Partitioning, Mezzanine floors, and other space-increasing solutions are all possible in an industrial warehouse. Another important factor to consider for industrial warehouse design is what the company intends to do in their warehouse. If you are using highly flammable chemicals, fire protection will be at the top of your priorities. Keeping your warehouse well ventilated is also important to consider. If you are using a forklift truck that runs on fuel, you should consider the quality of air in your warehouse. Your refurbishment design can include alternative air ventilation channels if what your warehouse has isn’t sufficient. Typically, industrial warehouses will require a certain amount of storage space. Many types of warehouse racking solutions can be used. Standard pallet racking is one of the most versatile solutions. If you don’t need to store heavy items, long–span shelving will do the... --- > Mezzanine Floor and planning permission go hand in hand, in order to create more space you need to have permission before building goes ahead. - Published: 2020-09-24 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://totalinteriorsdirect.co.uk/mezzanine-floor-and-planning-permission/ - Categories: Latest News What you need to know. First steps: A mezzanine floor and planning permission go hand in hand, you can’t have one without the other. As soon as you plan to do anything to the structure of a building, change the use of the building or build something new, you must get planning permission from the local planning authority. They will typically ask about the size and changes you are making to the structural integrity of the building. Only when you have planning permission can the mezzanine floor plans take place. Visit the Direct GOV website for more information on planning permission. What we do: At Total interiors, when asked about designing a mezzanine floor we will first look at your requirements. How you intend to use the mezzanine floor will dictate how we design the space. Certain requirements may be subject to extra building controls. Once the design has been completed, we submit our design to building control. They will then provide us with a list of compliances that must be installed alongside the mezzanine floor. Things like fire protection, safety rails, and emergency lighting are compiled together to ensure the mezzanine floor meets all safety regulations. When you have approved the design including controls, our job really takes off. We then place our orders and prepare for the delivery day! An empty space is a perfect place to start our build. The foundations of the mezzanine floor are designed with your requirements in mind.

Not only is it important to provide a safe work environment for your employees it also gives them peace of mind while carrying out their tasks. We work very closely with David across many of our projects and he has shed some light on all things risky. We asked him to break down a few key points about risk assessments: What is a risk assessment? An assessment of the risks/hazards that exist, how to eliminate those risks/hazards, and if they cannot be eliminated how to work safely around those risks/hazards to minimize the impact risk from the hazards. It is important to carry out a detailed and accurate assessment, not only for the legal aspects of having a safe workspace and procedures in place but also for your staff to feel safe in their office or warehouse. How do you structure your assessments? When looking at an initial Risk Assessment I first consider the following points:Activity/HazardPotential RiskWho may be affectedControl Measures in place by ClientControl Measures to be put in place by TotalAction datePerson ResponsibleRisk Factor after Control What are the key points most people miss when performing a risk assessment?

British carpet manufacturers, Brintons, holders of the Royal Warrant, has been making British carpets in Kidderminster for over 230 years. Since its humble beginnings back in 1783, quality has always been an important factor. Brintons is proud to call itself a British brand. Around 1400 people worldwide help them to create a product, which is widely believed to be the finest available. However, as sales increased so too did the challenges on storing and distributing the product. Therefore, the decision was made to look for a new warehouse and distribution center. Having successfully completed a number of smaller projects, including repairs to racking damage and the supply of racking components. Total Interiors were awarded the contract and the immediate task of helping Brintons decide on a suitable building. Once agreed, the attention turned to providing Brintons with a handling and storage solution that would maximize space utilization and increase operational efficiencies. With carpet rolls measuring up to 5 meters long, the overall challenge was to create enough locations to store the vast range of carpets. Cater for the different lengths and sizes, and allow for the projected growth of the Brintons business. The recommended layout was based on Reach Trucks fitted with carpet booms, which require less aisle width than a conventional forklift. With operational efficiencies in mind, a large marshaling area was kept free for the quick and safe loading and unloading of vehicles.

That's why you should rely on us for racking inspections. - Published: 2015-09-08 - Modified: 2025-04-28 - URL: https://totalinteriorsdirect.co.uk/do-you-have-racking-inspections-on-a-regular-basis/ - Categories: Racking Inspections Remember it's a legal requirement! It's so important for any company with warehouse racking that you organize yearly racking inspections. Damaged or unsafe racking presents a significant risk in the workplace. Any failures can have a significant impact on a warehousing operation. Including but not limited to;loss of productthreat to human lifepenalties including heavy fines and possible imprisonment. As an owner, it's your duty to maintain a safe working environment for your employees. It's always best to appoint someone within the warehouse to carry out basic racking inspections. Keeping a close eye on your racking will ensure any issues are flagged regularly. On a yearly basis, we recommend using an external company to perform a full, in-depth analysis of your warehouse racking. When they perform an inspection, they will look at anything that could cause a safety threat. A traffic light system may be implemented to advise you on the severity of the issue. Red would indicate high risk and would need to be fixed immediately. Amber is important to fix but wouldn't pose an instant threat.
