Welcome to Slide Out Shelves LLC ,
Slide out shelving in your kitchen or pantry gives you easier access to the things you need.
Cabinet Pull Out Shelves add Convenience and Value
Sliding shelves have been around for decades. Most commonly used in kitchens, pantries and closets,
these shelves have been given many names. Pull out shelves, slide out shelves, roll out shelves,
shelves that slide out, slide out drawers, roll out drawers, roll out trays, sliding shelves trays
drawers. Whatever you want to call them, the main purpose is to give access to cabinets from the
outside rather than crawling inside, while making the best use of limited space.
Adding Pull Out Shelving to existing cabinets will add convenience and value to the entire
home. Many home owners find it difficult to organize the pantry and kitchen cabinets because
these cabinets are dark deep areas and difficult to arrange.
Pull out shelving can be installed in your exisiting cabinets without any modifications. A
custom made pull out shelf will fit in the cabinet opening allowing free access to organize and
store all your kitchen goods. It's a very cost effective way to make the most of limites storage space.
Real wood shelves will also add to the value of your home, should you ever decide to sell it, you'll have made
a wise investment.
When looking for kitchen shelving that slides, keep two things in mind. The construction of
the pull out shelf and the weight capacity of the slide. Companies that cut labor costs will
surface mount the bottom to the shelf. This practice was common years ago and many can remember
drawers that had the bottoms sagging down that required continual maintenance. A kitchen sliding
shelf should have the bottom captured with a dadoe groove that adds strength to the entire
shelf.
Some manufacturers cut production costs by installing slides that are not rated for the
application. Drawer slides have two ratings: static and dynamic: static is the weight capacity of
the slide when the kitchen drawer or shelf is sitting inside the cabinet, dynamic is the slide
weight capacity when the drawer or slide is pulled out. Look for a shelf that has a rating of 100
lbs. static and 75 lbs. dynamic. Keep in mind that the weight capacity will not include the
weight of the pull out shelf itself. A slide that has a rating of 75/50 works well for cutlery
drawers but will break down when loaded with pots, pans, and heavy cookware.

Installing slide out shelving is not limited to areas where there is current shelving. Most base kitchen cabinets
have two shelves (the bottom of the cabinet and a shelf in the middle). Although installing pull out shelves in
these two areas is the most common application, you can stack 3-4 shelves in a base cabinet if your storage needs
call for it. Pantry cabinets and base kitchen cabinets can also be fitted with pilasters that allow you to add
numerous pull out shelves and adjust the vertical placement of the shelves as you desire. Pilasters also allow the
shelves to be moved if storage placement changes.
Of course, why limit easy access to the kitchen. You can use pull out closet hampers to keep dirty clothes out of
sight and make the laundry process a lot easier. You can install wire shelves in your closet to contain sweaters and
other folded items. Alternatively, you can also use wire baskets to organize socks, blankets, shoes and other small
items. The possibilities for closet storage are really limitless with pull out shelves in the closet.
Whether you need to gain control of your closet space or you want to make your kitchen a more pleasant place to
be, pull out shelves can help you achieve your goals.
