Shelving and Storage in Abu Dhabi
Most homes run out of storage before they run out of space. ALHUD Technical LLC provides custom shelving and storage for villas, apartments, offices and shops in Abu Dhabi, built to fit awkward corners, alcoves and full walls.
Made-to-measure units use every centimetre, and a proper fixing means they hold books, boxes and kitchen gear without sagging.
What We Build
- Wall shelves and floating shelves: for books, display and decor
- Built-in alcove units: fitted around chimney breasts, niches and recesses
- Pantry and kitchen storage: pull-outs, racks and shelves
- Garage and store room shelving: heavy-duty racks for boxes and tools
- Laundry and utility storage: shelves above and around appliances
- Office and shop shelving: files, stock and display
For wardrobes and closets, see our custom made wardrobes page.
Using Awkward Spaces
Corners, under-stair gaps, niches and wall recesses are ideal for shelving. We measure carefully and build units that fit tight so there are no ugly gaps. In many Abu Dhabi flats, built-in shelves around a TV wall or a window also add storage without crowding the floor.
Boards, Finishes and Loads
Shelf boards sag if they are too thin or the span is too long. We choose board thickness and supports for the load, add a centre support where needed and use finishes that cope with kitchens and humid rooms. For heavy loads such as books, we use stronger fixings into solid walls.
Fixing to the Wall
Concrete and block take shelf brackets well. Gypsum walls need proper fixings or backing. We check for pipes and cables before drilling. Kitchens and tiled walls are covered on our kitchen wall mounting page.
Doors, Drawers and Lighting
Storage looks tidier with doors, and drawers keep small items accessible. We add soft-close hinges and runners where wanted. Strip lights can be added to shelves to highlight items and make interiors easier to see. For custom pieces beyond shelves, see our custom made furniture page.
