Lockers are used in countless establishments like schools, sports centres, community spaces, and commercial buildings. They are also an integral part of corporate End of Trip facilities. Read on for some tips and advice when choosing lockers for your establishment.
The Sizes and Layout
Changerooms and End of Trip facilities can range in size, as a changing room is often roughly around 15 percent of the overall facility’s size so a high end End of Trip facility will require a much different locker layout than a small public pool. The dimensions of each locker also differs between facilities depending on the size and quantities of items to be stored in them, for example a sports centre might need big lockers to store duffel bags and sports gear, while lockers in a retail space are typically just used to store small personal items like phones and wallets. Duraplan can provide a 1 Tier, 2 Tier, 3 Tier, or 4 Tier layout, as well as the unique Z Tier layout.
The Material
The material of your locker should be determined by your facility’s purpose. Demanding environments such as schools and sports centres require durable materials, while wet environments like aquatic centres need waterproof materials to avoid deterioration and health and safety risks. Some popular options are compact laminate, metal, or wood.
The Style
Ensuring your locker room is an attractive well-designed area can alter how your guests will perceive your facility. Providing aesthetic and functional designs will showcase your professionalism and dedication to user satisfaction. Other factors such as colour and style can further enhance the overall appearance of your locker room. Consider designing your locker room in your brand’s colours, or mimicing natural materials like wood or stone for an aesthetically pleasing look.
The Functionality
Just an important as the style of your lockers is the practicality. Offering a robust and functional locker can make or break your facility, with cheaply made lockers often breaking down. Investing in a durable locker system will avoid any user frustration and ensure your lockers last for years to come. Another important factor is the maintenance. Look for easy maintenance lockers made from anti bacterial materials like compact laminate.
