Under-desk pedestals make optimal use of each configuration while blending sleek and functional design.

Get organized with laterals and credenzas

Laterals are used for storing important documents and files. This storage option offers letter and legal filing options and come with a file configuration that allows easy organization overall.

Make use of vertical space with storage towers
Storage towers take advantage of height and provide about twice the storage capacity compared to common shelving. They are visually appealing and make optimal use of vertical space.
Tayco has single and double-door storage towers and different configurations can be fixed in both. These configurations include shelves, box/box/file, file/file drawers.

Reclaim unused space with overhead storage
One of the best tools to increase storage is to utilize the space above by adding overhead storage. Here one can maximize the office square footage while also drawing the eye upwards. This a great space to place a wide range of display objects, including books and files that are not in frequent use but require space within the office. Open overhead storage can be used to show decorative objects and personal items, adding character to the space and freeing up the desk space below.
Included in Tayco’s overhead storage offering are wall-mounted units and hutch options. Wall-mounted units can consist of open storage, lockable hinge doors and sliding doors. Hutch units are fastened to the top of a lower unit such as a credenza. The benefit of this piece is that it provides ample storage for your office supplies without needing a wall. In open spaces, a hutch can also double as a space divider between open offices. Last but not least, hutches give employees more space to decorate and show their personality.
Adding storage to a workplace is a great way to build a functional and aesthetically pleasing space. Storage solutions provide extra space for various items including files, books, archives and even coats or bags.
To sum it all up, being organized and tidy is vital to achieving an efficient work environment where employees don’t lose time searching for documents or items.
