Frequently asked questions

What is a store gondola?

A gondola is a store’s central shelving unit, single- or double-sided, made of uprights, back panels and adjustable shelves. It is the core fixture of an aisle: it structures the layout and carries most of the self-service product lines.

What load can a DIY gondola shelf carry?

A Kollirama DIY gondola shelf covers the medium-duty category, indicatively 80 to 200 kg depending on depth and shelf type. For heavy-category goods (cement, tiles), heavy-duty versions accept indicatively up to 400 kg per level.

What gondola heights suit a DIY store?

DIY stores commonly use 1.80 m to 2.50 m gondolas to maximize shelf run, with lower central islands (1.40 to 1.60 m) to keep the store visible.

Single-sided vs double-sided gondola: what’s the difference?

A single-sided gondola backs onto a wall; a double-sided one forms a central island accessible from both sides. A typical layout combines single-sided units on the perimeter and double-sided islands in central aisles.

Can accessories be added to an existing gondola?

Yes: hooks, dividers, label holders, bins and baskets clip onto perforated or slotted backs without tools. It is the fastest way to densify an aisle without changing the furniture.
