meet the commercial build locker: the ultimate storage solution

Here at SHIELD, building lockers is what we do best. For the past 10 years we’ve been hand-crafting beautiful storage for collegiate and professional sports organizations that showcase teams’ unique branding while lasting for a lifetime.

So why not stick with sports? In our days of being a manufacturer we’ve come across many commercial locker designs that, quite frankly, kind of suck. They break down, lack aesthetic appeal or aren’t purpose-made for their intended facility. Nearly everyone carries important items with them throughout the day, which means providing secure and accessible storage solutions for all types of facilities can make a huge difference. 

The SHIELD commercial line includes three distinct builds; commercial, athletic and medical. Crafted for maximum durability and versatility, the commercial build is perfect for high-traffic spaces that need secure storage solutions making it ideal for offices, gyms and civic centers. In this blog, we will be breaking down the features of the commercial build and how it can be an essential part of your facility.

What is the Commercial Locker Build?

Glad you asked. Our most cost-effective option, the commercial build features a laminate back and body with solid surface cladding on the face, doors and shelving. Though we have spoken at length about how laminate alone often does not hold up and succumbs to delamination, combining it with solid surface creates a durable, more-affordable everyday solution.

By strategically combining these materials, we reinforce the parts of the locker most susceptible to wear and tear with the strongest materials, while allowing us to offer the product at a more accessible price point.

Ideal Uses

Whether it’s in offices, public facilities or recreational centers, people need secure and reliable storage. Our commercial lockers provide comfortable space and security for people’s belongings, far surpassing basic cubbies or metal lockers.

While we know phenolic is a popular choice for projects in this space, at SHIELD we’ve taken locker design and durability a step further. The commercial build offers all the advantages of phenolic material while providing superior resistance to impacts, wear and tear and microbial growth, all of which ensures a cleaner and safer environment for users of the product.

What are the Benefits of the Commercial Build?

Durability

Reinforced with solid surface, our commercial build lockers withstand strong impacts and wear and tear, making them incredibly useful in high traffic areas.

Cleanability

Though the commercial build includes both laminate and solid surface, the solid surface face is epoxy sealed, preventing moisture from seeping into the joints. When it’s time to clean, you can have peace of mind knowing the materials will keep their like-new quality.

Cost Effective

Though solid surface alone is generally not cheap, deliberate use of laminate has allowed us to create a product that is incredibly durable but won’t break the bank. The long lasting nature means you avoid constant replacements, saving money and reducing environmental waste.
