1. What is the primary benefit of using Visi-Floor?
Saves labor…less fronting, easier inventory count, more organized, better product presentation.

2. Will I lose space on the shelf?
As long as there is extra space on the uprights above the top shelf, you generally will not lose vertical space. You may even gain some. You may lose minimal space horizontally to accommodate the dividers.

3. How do you keep product from falling out the back when front loading?
There is an optional backstop you can insert at the back to contain product. The backstop is also able to be inserted closer to the front of the floor in case you want to limit product on the shelf.

4. Do I need any special tools to install Visi-Floor?
Yes, in a cold serve installation, you need a utility knife. In dry shelf installation you will need a utility knife and possibly a screwdriver to install the optional front metal support bar.

5. Will my products be visible?
Yes, both front lips and the tall dividers are clear.

6. Can you use heavy products on the Floor system?
Yes, the floor can accommodate gallon products like milk, windshield washer fluid and large detergent bottles.

7. Does Visi-Floor work next to Visibility Slides?
Yes, they can work together side by side but they cannot attach to each other.

8. Is it permanent? How long will it last? Can I remove it from the shelf if I want to?
It is considered permanent but you may remove it from the shelf. It will last for years. Visibility Slides have already lasted 5 years in the market.

9. Can it be expanded if my product line increases?
Yes, the floor has endless width capacity and can go as deep as needed by locking successive Visi-Floors together front to back.

10. What do I do if my shelf doesn’t angle?
You have three options:
-- We have optional brackets that you may purchase to angle your flat shelf
-- We can supply you with a plastic wedge system to angle the floor on top of a flat shelf
-- We can supply an angled shelf

11. What is this made out of? Is it toxic?
It is molded in polypropylene with a special internal slip agent that blossoms from the plastic over time. It is non-toxic.

12. Is it easy to rearrange if my product line changes?
Yes, the dividers snap out easily and relocate.

13. Can it span more than one shelf?
Yes.

14. What do I do if a section breaks? Are parts replaceable?
All component parts can be ordered from Trade Fixtures.

15. Do I need different applications for warm as well as cold serve?
The overall installation is the same but the preparation to install is different for warm and cold serve.

16. Can it be branded?
Yes, there is an area for you to brand. See your representative for details.

17. Can I use graphic labels on it?
Yes, you can put a label in the price channel if you choose.

18. How do I clean it if something spills?
The Visi-Floor can be washed. You can remove it from the shelf and wash it or you can wipe it
clean with a moist cloth. You can also lift it and clean under it.

19. How is it packed?
There are standard pack-outs listed on the price sheet.

20. Can I order a custom pack-out?
For large orders there is custom packing available.

21. How many different parts do I need to make the shelf function?
For cold serve, you need four or five parts: a floor that fits the designated area, the proper front lip, the proper divider or dividers (standard or "T") and a back stop (if needed). For warm serve, you need five or six parts: a floor that fits the designated area, an optional tall front lip, the proper divider or dividers (standard or "T"), a back stop (if needed) and a front metal support bar (for heavier products) complete with pushpins and/or nut & bolt sets.

22. Can I order a custom color?
Visi-Floor can be special ordered in transparent tinted colors at a premium. There is a minimum order of 3000 floors and 10,000 dividers.

23. What are the dimensions?
Visi-Floor comes in standard size: 29"W x 25"D (with break-offs) and extended size: 29"W x 41"D (with break-offs).

24. Who installs it and how long does it take to install?
The customer will. We will train you or your personnel to install the floor system.

25. What is the lead-time? How quickly do you fulfill orders?
On stock Visi-Floor items, lead time is 72 hours.

26. Who do I contact with questions?
Joe DeSimone at Display Technologies will be the person to contact with any questions. You may reach him at 1-800-424-4220.

27. Are there products that don’t work on Visi-Floor?
Yes, products in styrofoam (egg containers) or stretch-wrapped (meat, poultry).

28. How will I be billed?
You will be billed from New York under the Trade Fixtures name. You will pay normally to A/R at Trade Fixtures.

29. How does Visi-Floor compare with other gravity feed systems?
Other systems are based on components that are affixed directly to the metal shelf and have limited load capacity. Visi-Floor is based on a strong grid construction with an integrated front lip giving far greater structural integrity that can withstand the weight of heavy products.

30. Do slanted products suffer poor visibility and sales?
Beverage and hosiery categories have been successfully gravity fed for years.

31. If the bottom shelf is slanted, will visibility of products be especially poor?
No! The bottom shelf is one of the most important to gravity feed. After the first unit sells on a flat shelf, you won't see the product at all.
