Wall racks can be mounted wherever you have open wall space, and can fit neatly over your cooking range or maybe between kitchen cabinets. The height given in wall pot racks is from the top of the rack to the bottom of the pot hook. Ceiling mounted pot racks are usually designed for nine foot ceilings. Cookware storage racks come in a variety of materials, shapes and sizes, to suit your kitchens needs and match its style. Standard pot rack materials include cast iron, stainless steel and high carbon steel. Cookware racks can also have a different material for the finish to give more color variety. These finishes include copper, brass and chrome, and each manufacturer has a few special finishes like aged iron, or hammered steel, that may be just right for you. Whether the style is oval, rectangle, crown or something unique, consider whether or not you want a grid that is mounted in the pot rack. This grid gives you more places to hang pots from, and also give you a bit a shelf space on top, which could be a convenient place to put your pot lids.
