‘DIY On Increase’ Says Shelving Experts

March 13, 2009 - PRLog -- Doug Nourse, managing director at the firm who offer shelving, racking and storage solutions, said, “It seems that the credit crunch and the influence of home improvement shows like DIY SOS are encouraging homeowners to embark upon a spot of DIY in order to improve their property and in hope of bucking the trend for falling house prices.  One of the main ways of instantly transforming a room and creating more storage space is to invest in shelving, and this could be a reason why we have experienced an influx in sales”.

To coincide with the unprecedented rise in sales, the team at BiGDUG are celebrating with the launch of their MAX Steel Shelving range, which is ideal for both the home and office environment.  The innovative new range is available in three sizes of 1000mm, 2000mm and 2500mm high and allow for easy self-assembly with only a rubber required for DIY perfection- no hot sweats, temper tantrums or frustration!

Mr Nourse added, “many of our customers are fitting our new Max Steel Shelving in their garage space, to create more shelf space by transferring essentials from the floor to the walls, it is amazing how much larger a space can look once the floor space has been cleared.”

29-year-old Lee Carlisle, from Nottingham recently bought a house with his fiancé, he said, “When I bought a house a few years ago, I got in a professional decorator and plasterer, but this time around we are planning to do it ourselves, and shelving is certainly one of the first things to go up, mainly to keep clutter away from the floor and to make the most of the space, especially in the garage, where space is limited.”

Web traffic figures released also backed up this increasing trend for DIY, after visits to sites in the retail house and garden category rose from 0.49 per cent to 0.59 per cent in the last month.  The figures also found that the most popular DIY queries last month were 'how to plaster' and ‘how to hang shelves’.

Sold as starter bays and extension units to save money in runs, the brand new range of Max Steel shelving, is an cost effective as it is forward thinking, priced at just £49 excluding VAT, there really is no easier way to transform and home or office environment and bring a little organisation to those who live and work there.

Mr Nourse added, “The DIY boom is great news for us all here at BiGDUG, and we would encourage anyone purchasing shelving or racking for both home and office use, to visit our website at www.bigdug.co.uk”
