F U R N I T U R E & S T O R A G E Vital for attracting new pupils Certwood offer


Continued from page 19 are to be kept in an orderly fashion. So, think beyond just the initial type of storage being specified such as cupboards and drawers and go a step further with neat interior configurations. Adjustable dividers, boxes and troughs can all ensure items are properly stored for efficiency, safety and inventory management. Also using modular cupboards, cabinets or workstations to maximum potential means fewer units may be required. In addition, space is often at a


premium, particularly with classroom sizes increasing, so storage and workstations that make best use of the available area are a must. If a room features pillars which stand out from the wall, then worktops can be shaped around them, reducing gaps. Island benches, which use hexagonal worktops and pedestal


cabinets, are ideal for creating working areas for groups. While storage is often chosen


for its practicality and seen as a necessity, it can also offer aesthetic benefits.Achoice of colour schemes, ergonomic handles, smooth edges and contemporary designs all add to the quality finish. This can help to create a professional image for the establishment, which is vital when looking to attract new pupils. It can also have an impact on the students’ behaviour, helping to instil a sense of pride in their school or college. It is also worthwhile being


aware that storage doesn’t just consist of drawers, cabinets and cupboards. For example, Bott’s verso collection includes workbenches, workstands and lecturn style cabinets that can be used in science laboratories and technology and design


workshops. There are also mobile systems in an extensive choice of drawer and shelf configurations, to provide space-efficient storage that can be relocated as necessary. For educational establishments


that need help determining the right solution for the job, Bott offers a consultation and design service. This will help to ensure that any investment made in new storage delivers maximum results by exactly meeting the organisation’s needs, being fit-for-purpose, optimising storage configuration for the available space and delivering safe and durable solutions.
