The wood materials that go into the construction of wood closet organizers are not all created equal. There are numerous grades and types of wood that vary in strength, durability, and cost. This article provides a brief overview of some of the most common woods used in closet organization systems.
At Closet Factory, designers are available to discuss the Man Cave transformation -- how you currently use the garage, what you envision, and how to get the maximum use of the space through custom cabinets, accessories and organization. There are solutions that work for every size and every area. From simple to spectacular, modern or traditional, hi tech or hi style, Closet Factory can create the man cave of every man's dreams. Dad will certainly thank you for it and mom will appreciate it too.Sort through the clutter. Discard what's broken and sell anything that you're not using. Consider having a rummage sale. Concentrate on reorganizing the things dad wants to keep. Group like things together. For example, store everything for auto repair in one area, sporting gear in another. Putting cabinets and racks into a garage will help add additional storage. Attach shelves or cabinets to your garage walls, or put up freestanding units. Store the heaviest items on the lowest shelves. Add a floor over the concrete, nothing fancy but it will change the look of the garage. Most importantly, create room for all the Man Cave essentials: Dad's favorite memorabilia, TV, a small fridge, bar and anything that makes him comfortable.Particle board is the least expensive type of wood used in closet organizers. Particle board is an engineered wood also known as Fiberboard. It is manufactured by combining resin with scrap wood, wood chips, and even saw dust. Particleboard is a cheaper alternative to solid wood, and if untreated has a tendency to disintegrate in damp or humid environments.Here are some tips from Closet Factory for starting the transformation:Plywood is made of a finer decorative grade in which a thin layer of real wood laminate is glued to the surface of the wood. Closet organizer products made with Plywood are not as common as those made of particleboard and MDF and can cost 50%-80% more than those made with Particleboard or MDF. Only a few custom closet manufacturers and online retailers offer products made with plywood.Image Available: http://www2.marketwire.com/mw/frame_mw?attachid=1628874Real wood is solid wood through and through. No scrap wood, glues, or laminates, just real solid wood. Common types of wood used in closet organizers are oak, pine, birch, and maple. Solid wood is stable, strong, lasts longer, and is more beautiful than engineered wood. Solid wood is more expensive however, due to harvesting, drying, and selection of pieces that do not have defects.To fix this problem, manufacturers often cover the surface with a plastic laminate like Melamine, which is glued to the surface. If a laminate material is not used, the surface is often painted. Closet organizers made out of particle board are often available as do-it-yourself kits online and at many home improvement stores.A Man Cave can be made from any spare room in the house, or to consider as the new den of the 21st century. However, most wives and moms aren't willing to give up a room for a Man Cave. Don't fret if this is the case -- just move the Man Cave to the garage. Closet Factory , the leaders in organizational storage systems, offers numerous storage options to help to transform a section of a garage (or an entire garage) into the ultimate Man Cave.Manufacturers widely use MDF is as a construction material for closet organizers, because it is plentiful and inexpensive. A laminate material such as Melamine is often affixed to the surface for strength and durability, and has the added advantage of coming in a variety of different colors. Closet organizing systems made of MDF are available from most home improvement stores and online retailers.To receive additional information about the 3rd Custom Cabinet Conference as it becomes available via email, contact rchristianson@vancepublishing.com or 847-415-8024.Particleboard
