Tips for choosing storage

Having a lot of good storage options is really helpful if you are trying to keep your stuff under control and organized. But how can you decide exactly what type of storage is best for your situation? Here are some tips for choosing the right storage.

Entertainment rooms

Storage in an entertainment room is typically used to store different types of electronics, DVDs, games, or books. Open bookshelves are good for DVDs, books, and little trinkets you want to be able to see. However, a having open shelving always makes a space look a little busier. If you want a cleaner look, get cabinets that keep everything hidden, so you won’t have to worry about a cluttered-feeling space. And baseboard heater covers can help blend radiator heaters into the baseboards to give an even cleaner look.

Playrooms

When choosing your playroom storage solutions, make sure that all your storage is close to the ground and easily accessible. It is safer and easier for your kids to access their stuff that way. Having a set place for everything will help keep the room clean and make it easier for your children to get what they want.

Outdoor storage

Anything you use to store things outside needs to be able to withstand the elements. A backyard shed is very helpful in holding a lot of your yard equipment, especially in the winter time. But for those who don’t have enough space for a shed, choose to get pillow chests and put hooks on the wall for holding your important outdoor equipment.

Wall Widget

EZ Snap™ Wall Widgets are used when your old or existing wall back plate has been removed or if you have to hang your new cover 1 inch or higher to bring them up to a height that will fit our installation guidelines. Just measure your overall desired height, subtract 1", drill a hole, preferably in a stud and attach it to the wall with the included screw.

Floor Fidgets

EZ Snap™ Floor Fidgets easily raise your new covers ¾ inch to compensate for any ¾ inch floor (wood, tile, or other) that has been installed any time since your baseboard heater was originally installed. May be used for any reason when the overall height has been shortened and the total height is less than 7-½ inches for standard height or 9-½ inches for the TALL height EZ Snap™ BaseBoard Covers. Just use the self-tapping screws to secure them to the top of your existing wallplate.

Wall Contraptions

EZ Snap™ Wall Contraptions are used when your wall back plate has been completely removed. EZ Snap™ Wall Contraptions receives your EZ Snap™ BaseBoard Cover and keeps your aluminum fin tube from sagging. These completely replace your wall back plate. To install, slide up from the bottom and make sure the top is at your desired height. Screw to the wall, then bend the front finger up to hold the fin tube in place.
