Eden Modular Shelving System

Eden Shelving Factsheet

Why Eden

Eden modular shelving is manufactured within the UK and is the brand used by many large retailers including supermarkets.  Not to be confused with the poor quality copies that are being brought in from the Far East. In our view, you purchase a system like this to give you many years of good use and it is false economy to buy a cheap copy and find that spare parts and accessories are not available within the UK. So our choice is to stock a system called Eden which is manufactured in the UK and used by some of the UK's biggest names (check for yourself - look for the name Eden on the shelf brackets when you are next out shopping).You are buying a proven product which has been produced to a UK specification and can be confident that, if used properly, it will be safe to use. Retailers place high demands on their shelving and just imagine the impact should a shelving bay collapse - the loss of stock, disruption to the business could be huge; let alone the impact of any injuries that may be caused. Don't take risks with shelving - buy a reputable brand.

What is modular shelving

When we talk about modular shelving systems in a shopfitting context we are thinking about the sort of systems that you can see everyday in the big supermarkets. The beauty of these systems is that they are strong, hard wearing and have accessories to suit most types of display situation. You will see that the supermarkets use different variants of the same systems to display items ranging from tins of beans/bottles of wine to TVs/Computers and everything in between. These systems offer all shapes and sizes of shelves, pegboard panels as well as slatboard panels built into the same freestanding framework. This is why you will also see the same systems used in corner shops, garden centres, chandlers, gift shops, museums etc etc. Modular shelving systems are simple, strong and extremely versatile - they can also be quite attractive if you go for the matt silver components rather than the standard cream.

How is it specified

With these systems you decide how high you want the unit(s) to be (wall units 2400mm whereas units in the middle of the shop should be 1400/1600mm so that you can see over the top) and how deep front to back (470mm is a good average but 570mm is good if you have the space). Against the wall you would go for single sided units but in the centre of the shop double sided units are far more effective.

The baseleg sits on the floor and has adjustable feet to cope with uneven ground. The column fits into the back of the baseleg to create an endleg assembly. Two of these assemblies are placed apart (choice of 665mm, 1000mm or 1250mm apart) and a shelf laid across the top of the baselegs. Back panels are then slotted into the column one after the other. Add your choice of shelves, don't forget that you also need the appropriate brackets, and your unit is assembled.
