Things to Consider When Choosing Laminate Lockers

When designing locker room projects on a budget, sometimes solid wood may not be the best choice economically. Custom locker installation for your business does not have to have an expensive and painful process.

Solid grade laminate (SGL) is constructed using multiple layers of Kraft paper impregnated with thermosetting phenolic resins, this is what gives SGL it’s characteristic black core.

If you do not want to compromise the quality and style of your storage solution due to budget limitations, laminate lockers are a beautiful and highly functional alternative that deliver great results at a great value.

In this article, we will be discussing some of the key elements to consider when choosing custom laminate lockers that will be appropriate for your next locker room project.

Price & Design

When designing custom laminate lockers, it is important to take the price, look and feel of the locker room design into consideration and understand what is feasible, more cost-effective and more fitting to the project. Whether your next locker room design is for a commercial fitness centre or even just a high school gymnasium, laminate lockers provide versatility in look, feel and price that is not often found with solid wood alternatives.

With a variety of colours, texture and finishes, laminates often provide a creative and valuable alternative that can enhance the distinctiveness of the locker room design.

Location

When choosing the area on which to place your lockers, there are multiple things to consider. The first is the traffic density in the area should be considered. Will the locker be in a high school? Fitness club? Or a private office? The number of people accessing the locker should be looked into to determine the longevity of the locker. The next to consider are environmental factors such as heavy moisture. Unlike certain types of wood, which can be rather delicate in some instances, laminated lockers and veneers generally provide high durability solutions with comparably low maintenance costs. High-quality laminates can withstand constant usage without needing as much maintenance compared to other more expensive materials.

Design Specifications

Whether your locker room project requires multiple shelving and compartment configuration or a simple one-size specific compartment for multiple-user access, laminate lockers can be designed to meet these specific needs. Laminates can be quite flexible in terms of design. It can be used for the creation of gym lockers as well as classroom storage and many more. Designing with laminates is both simple and economical.
