generic name for shelving system
Moin
I am looking for a supplier of wall-rail shelving systems silimar to the one shown in http://element-system.com/en.html, but in Singapore. I specifically want wall-rails that are double-slot and work with single-slot arms (so that I can place two selves next to another at same height w/o needing two rails). I have a hard time time finding these types of shelves locally and wonder whether in my searches I am just using the wrong names/type descriptions. Are there any other names for these shelves that i maybe should include in my searches? Names how different brands call this may also help. Furthermore, i am interested in whether there are any standards for these (slot length/width/size, -distance) that I may want to use so that I can later match arms and other attachments from different manufacturers to the rails that I mount? Brands for these types of shelves (if any) I would also be interested in. any info is appreciated (also if there are any other newgroups/forums where I may get this kind of info) tia mathias |

If they both have to be screwed into the same vertical 2x4 behind the wall covering, I angle the screws so each one gets a good grip into the 2x4. |
