When building a bedroom cabinet to store clothes, most of us want something sturdy that will last a long time. After all, what we store there are our personal belongings, including valuable items like jewelry.
When it comes to hanging clothes, we need to install a sturdy closet rod that can bear a lot of weight. Come to think of it, most of us not only use this bar to hang clothes, but also thick coats and jackets, as well as other accessories, including belts. What better material to choose than metal closet rod which is a great tool for organizing clothes.
Metal rods are preferred by homeowners due to the stylish look they achieve. They can be made of 1/16-inch-thick stainless steel or brass, depending on your personal preference. This material is durable, resistant to rust, requires less maintenance, and is capable of supporting a lot of weight, especially when installed correctly. They also come in different shapes, sizes (in diameter), and finishes. There are the round closet rods, the telescopic rod, the square rod and the oval rod. The round type is available in one inch and 3/4 inch diameters and in various finishes such as white, black, brass or chrome.
With metal closet rods, there’s not much of a problem looking for your other components. This is because metal center and end brackets and brackets are also widely available on the market today. The end brackets are the ones that are fixed to the walls of the cabinet using screws, while the center bracket is the one that is installed in the middle of the rod and is screwed to the ceiling of the cabinet. This center support is especially required when using a long closet rod.
If you want to put a shelf in your wardrobe, you can also use a kind of support that has two functions. This is known as the shelf and closet rod bracket. With this tool you can now have a support for your shelf and at the same time a support for your bar.
On the other hand, you can also opt for a rod mount or bracket that uses a flange. This provides more security to your rod. Yet another type to use is the ring bracket, especially if your goal is to install just one type of hanging closet rod.
There is also a new style of hanging clothes today and this is with the use of the innovative pull down closet rod. With this type of rod, the top of your closet that is not used often will now become useful. It has a 28-inch handle, an extension handle, and is adjustable to fit any size cabinet. By using this, all you have to do is draw and win the rod. You can install this on the panels or on the cabinet walls.
Now that you know the advantages of metal closet rods and the various styles available on the market today, you’ll have a better idea about which type to get for your own closet, whether you’re creating a new one or remodeling your existing closet.
