False Flooring in Garages and Cool Rooms

Managing heavy items in garages or cool rooms can be a challenge for both Busy Homeowners and Hospitality Industry Professionals. From protecting your belongings from moisture damage to creating a more organised and accessible space, false flooring is an innovative solution that’s as practical as it is efficient. If you are storing tools, supplies, or perishable goods, a false floor using Mini Pallets ensures durability, cleanliness, and easy moving.

Let’s explore how this simple Australian Made invention can transform your garage or cool room, helping you protect your goods and streamline your mundane tasks.

Why Use False Flooring?

False flooring is essentially an elevated platform created to safeguard items from direct contact with the floor. Here’s why it’s a smart solution:

• Protection Against Moisture: In garages and cool rooms, condensation or spills can quickly ruin goods. By storing items on Mini Pallets, products are raised off the ground which reduces the risk of damage from water.
• Better Organisation: False floors can allow for more efficient use of spaces, which makes it easier to organise and access items.
• Improved Hygiene: In hospitality settings, Mini Pallets provide items are kept off the ground, helping the business meet health and safety food/beverage standards. This also ensures cleaning underneath the goods can be done by hosing out the cool room or garage.
• Enhanced Airflow: Elevating goods provides proper air circulation, which is essential in cool rooms to maintain consistent temperatures for goods.

Now, let’s break it down into steps so you can create your own false floor.

Step 1: Plan Your Space

1. Before setting up your false floor, you need to male a plan:
   
   
2. Measure the area: Use a tape measure to record the width, length, and any unique features of your space.
3. Check for Uneven Surfaces: Garages and cool rooms can have uneven floors. Mini Pallets are sturdy enough to handle this, but you might need to level the more extreme uneven areas first.
4. Consider the items for Storage: Decide what items do you need to house or move frequently.

Step 2: Choose the Right Materials

Mini Pallets are the ideal for false flooring. Here’s why:

1. Durable Design: Made from glass-filled polypropylene, Mini Pallets are built to last for over 10 years.
2. Compact Size: At 400 mm x 260 mm x 40 mm, they’re perfect for tight or oddly shaped spaces.
3. Made in Australia: Supporting local manufacturing, Mini Pallets are a reliable choice for long-term use.

Step 3: Setting Up Your False Floor

Follow these steps to create your false floor:

1. Clean the Floor: Before laying down Mini Pallets, ensure the area is clean and dust free. This ensures the area is cleaned properly the first time and can be maintained easier. You may have to use chemicals to help with this task.
2. Lay Out the Pallets: Place the Mini Pallets in a line, most likely starting at the furthest wall. For garages, leave small gaps between rows to allow people to move between. In the cool room, fit them tightly next to each other. By doing this it allows for best coverage over the flooring area.
3. Test for Stability: Once the pallets are spread out, test their stability by walking on them. Adjust where needed to ensure an safe working level.

Step 4: Customise for Your Needs

Depending on how you plan to use your false floor, you can customise it further:

1. For Garages: Add a ramp at the edges to make it easier to roll heavy equipment onto the pallets.
2. For Cool Rooms: By having a handful of unused pallets you are able to create access points for cleaning.
   
3. Troubleshooting and Tips
   Cleaning: Mini Pallets can be washed in commercial dishwashers on a low heat setting, making maintenance simple.
   
4. Heavy Loads: If you’re working with loads exceeding 250 kg, distribute the weight evenly across multiple pallets for added safety.
