A Creative Solution to Expensive Land Costs

New Berlin, WI:  Where do you store personal belongings? Is it in an extremely expensive land environment? In this quaint suburb near the city limits of San Francisco it is likely that you may need remote storage space.

If you own a storage facility, you face the same challenges in meeting your customer's needs - The high cost of land makes it difficult to expand. That's where the ingenuity of Cubic Designs Inc. comes in by providing a creative solution to a real need for Pacific Mini Storage. Faced with an interesting challenge, Cubic Designs suggested that Pacific Mini Storage (PMS) consider building up, not out! With an already enclosed facility, Cubic helped PMS design and install a second story mezzanine directly above the existing storage facility.  For a reasonably small investment per square foot, PMS was able to essentially double their storage space.

Knowing that there would be a great deal of traffic on the second level, Cubic helped PMS make a smart decision for their floors by choosing ResinDek.  The Panel of Experts SM ResinDek MD was chosen, providing a good mix of strength and economy to the flooring system. Over 54,000 square feet was installed directly overhead.  The ResinDek panels, structural steel and corrugated provided the ceiling for the first level, as well as the flooring for the second level. "With ResinDek MD, not only can we accommodate areas with heavy foot traffic, we can also handle up to 2,700 lbs. on a pallet jack too," says Cubic Designs President Mike Giffhorn. "We feel like we helped our customer make a good value decision for the flooring panels and for the entire structure". Cubic Designs is a Strategic Partner and Stocking Distributor of ResinDek Panels, which are manufactured and sold by Cornerstone Specialty Wood Products.
