GLIDING SHELF SOLUTIONS HELP TO LIVE LIFE WITHIN REACH

-

Shelves from Gliding Shelf Solutions can help increase storage space without changing the size of a cupboard’s footprint.

Founded in 2009, Gliding Shelf Solutions’ mission is “to manufactur­e, market and sell the best pullout shelves for Canadians at affordable prices backed by a high level of service.” All of their pullout shelves are handmade by experience­d Canadian craftsman. Through its dealers, the company offers a free expert consultati­on, measuring and installati­on of its rolling shelves for customers across Canada.

It was, in part, Lee Anne Daniels’ “we can do it” attitude that spurred her and husband Frank on to success with a product that pretty much anyone with a kitchen or void cabinet space can use. A friend in Florida told Lee Anne how Gliding Shelf Solutions made it easier to access pots and pans. After doing her own research, Lee Anne saw what looked like a fantastic opportunit­y.

“This is when the saying ‘You’re never too old’ comes into play,” said Lee Anne. Aware of their own ‘shelf life,’ the Daniels are uniquely tuned into what their product can do for an aging population.

Lee Anne tells story after story of how the product has helped clients. One woman, in tears, thanked Frank after the installati­on because it meant that she could stay in her home for a few more years. Another client called because she was tired of being asked if it was time for her to move into assisted living. She was simply getting too tired to get her roasting pan out. Problem solved with a refit of gliding shelves. “We can increase space without changing the footprint,” explains Lee Anne.

Gliding Shelf Solutions also caters to downsizers. After all, purging 50 years of memories before a move isn’t easy. Knowing there’s space for long-treasured items in your new home can help make relocation easier.

Organizati­onally you’ll be a star. Glides can clean up clutter in all kinds of places, like the pots and pans cabinet, pantries and the always difficult-to-tame spice rack. No more money will be wasted on food that goes stale from sitting untouched at the back of the shelf.

“Everyone can use glides somewhere in their home,” said Lee Anne. As a bonus to all of these benefits, installing pullout shelves doesn’t come with the expense of a big renovation.

Gliding Shelf Solutions is proudly Canadian, based in Peterborou­gh with outlets across Ontario, staffed by people you can depend on. The product is 100 per cent manufactur­ed in Ontario.
