Record racks made to measure

Music lovers swear by their extensive record collections and want to store them in a visually appealing and quickly accessible way. Compared to the digital CD, vinyl is still popular and stands for a warmer sound, balanced dynamics and good signal-to-noise ratio. Vinyl fans therefore continue to prefer the record and it must be stored well at home. This is possible in a made-to-measure record rack, which is adapted to the size and order of the individual covers and, in addition, guarantees protection and durability for the valuable individual copies. The configuration is versatile, for both larger and smaller collections. Pickawood UK offers shelves made of many materials, including solid wood or sturdy multiplex.

Record racks for more protection and security

Records are first and foremost physical data carriers. This means they are susceptible to dust, knocks and scratches. Careful handling and proper storage are therefore particularly important to prolong the shelf life of the valuable recordings. Even a scratch can cause the record to egg or crack. The enjoyment of music is then completely lost. The accumulation of dust also has unfavourable effects on the sound quality. A record rack provides a remedy and ensures the protection of the collection.

Storing records properly - this is how it works:

Proper storage significantly increases the lifespan and sound quality. Many record lovers spend their lives collecting or owning valuable and old LPs by a wide variety of performers. Records for the genres jazz, classical or rock are popular. A high-quality record player with a heavy platter is a wonderful way to celebrate listening. The record sits in a cover and an inner sleeve. If you want, you can buy additional PVC protective sleeves that protect a record from pressure marks and dust.
However, it is more important not to stack the records, but to place them next to each other. In a custom made record cabinet, storage is particularly easy and clearly arranged. The records can be sorted by artist or genre and placed in the compartments. This prevents dirt from getting into the covers, while it is possible to browse through the collection at any time.
In the upright form, the records are not stressed in their sensitive surface, neither scratched nor deformed. The custom-made record rack can be optimally configured and adapted in size, shape and colour to your own preferences and needs. It offers enough space to prevent static pressure and not to store the records too closely. A space of about one to two fingers between the individual covers is recommended. This also makes it easier to leaf through or take out.

Made to measure record shelves - creative designs and versatile styling

Records are often precious mementos. Therefore, they should never stand around in old boxes, but should be easily accessible in a shelf directly next to the record player. At Pickawood UK, you can design the record shelf as a pure compartment shelf or with shelves, doors and drawers. Not only the records but also the players can be stored in it.

The special design is specially adapted to the shape and use of the records, and the made-to-measure design also allows it to fit into the room conditions. Sloping roofs, steps, corners, niches and angles are no problem. An oversized record rack is also possible and comes from Pickawood UK in carpenter quality according to your wishes and ideas. You can choose the suggested dimensions and materials or configure your dream shelf individually. The record shelf is an eye-catcher in open compartments and can be varied in width. We will also be happy to advise you on planning and ordering.

The versatile record rack for the wall or as a room divider

Record shelves can be individually planned in terms of size, shape, colour and material. As a rule, they are designed for the LP format and are permeable in the compartments. Accordingly, they can be placed perfectly against a wall or in the middle of the room to access the collection from both sides and to divide the room elegantly at the same time. The high stability of the individual shelves allows them to accommodate very large record collections that can reach several hundred kilograms. A high load-bearing capacity is therefore always important.
