Regulatory and ergonomic constraints in DIY stores
Fitting out a DIY superstore or hardware shop means balancing product density, racking safety and shopping comfort. Four points structure the layout:
Reachable picking height
Self-service products are ideally placed between 0.60 m and 1.80 m from the floor. Upper levels above 2 m act as visible reserve stock and are handled with safe access equipment, in line with INRS ergonomic recommendations.
Heavy loads and load notices
Metal racking must display its maximum permissible load per level and per bay (INRS guide ED 771). Our heavy-duty racks are sized to the stored products and delivered with their load signage.
Customer circulation and accessibility
A DIY store is a public-access building: main aisles stay clear, with a recommended width of 1.40 m so trolleys can pass and accessibility requirements are met (French law of 11 February 2005).
Signage and wayfinding
Aisle numbering, shelf signage and pegboards organized by product family cut search time, a decisive criterion for trade customers.

What height should DIY store gondolas be?
Usually between 1.80 m and 2.40 m: high enough to maximize shelf run while keeping products reachable between 0.60 m and 1.80 m. Upper levels act as visible reserve stock.
How do you optimize a tool aisle?
By combining pegboards and hooks for blister packs, dedicated supports for power tools and shelf dividers, with a layout by product family and clear signage.
Which racking should I choose for heavy loads in-store?
A reinforced retail rack designed to hold tools, hardware and heavy materials, with a high load capacity per level and load notices compliant with the INRS ED 771 guide.
What is a pagivolte display?
A display with pivoting panels viewable on both sides, ideal for showing boards, panels and samples while using minimal sales floor space.
Do you produce the store layout plans?
Yes, our design office carries out an on-site survey then produces layout plans and 3D visuals before manufacturing and installation.
Do you work on stores that are already trading?
Yes, we refit zone by zone, at adapted hours if needed, to avoid closing the store during the works.
