About HWY 4 Storage
HWY 4 Storage, located in Hanover, Ontario, specializes in providing secure and accessible storage solutions for local residents and businesses. When they decided to expand their services and convert a commercial space into a state-of-the-art storage facility, they turned to Trusscore for innovative, durable, and efficient building materials. Using NorLock by Trusscore for partitioning and RibCore by Trusscore for the ceiling, HWY 4 Storage successfully transformed the space, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.
The Challenge
The primary challenge faced by HWY 4 Storage was to create a well-organized, durable, and visually appealing storage facility within a large commercial space.
The facility required multiple individual storage units with strong, easy-to-maintain walls that could withstand heavy use while avoiding the cost, complexity, and fixed configuration of having to install traditional framed wall assemblies.
Additionally, the ceiling needed a robust and aesthetically pleasing solution that complemented the overall design.
The Solution
Wall Partitions with NorLock
HWY 4 Storage selected NorLock by Trusscore panels to create the individual storage units within the commercial space. NorLock's interlocking design allowed for quick and straightforward installation, which was crucial for minimizing construction time and labor costs. The panels provided a seamless finish, enhancing the overall look of the facility. NorLock's high-impact resistance and moisture-resistant properties ensured the walls would remain durable and easy to clean, even in a high-traffic environment. Furthermore, NorLock by Trusscore provided a flexible and durable solution for creating partition walls without any need for traditional framed wall assemblies.
The flexibility of NorLock panels means that partitions can be easily moved or removed at any point in the future, allowing HWY 4 Storage to adapt to changing needs and reconfigure the space as necessary.
Ceiling with RibCore
For the ceiling, HWY 4 Storage chose RibCore by Trusscore panels. RibCore's high-strength, lightweight construction made it an ideal choice for the facility's ceiling. The panels provided excellent load-bearing capabilities, ensuring long-lasting performance. RibCore's sleek, ribbed design also added a modern and professional look to the space, aligning with HWY 4 Storage's commitment to quality and aesthetics.
The Results
The use of NorLock by Trusscore and RibCore panels allowed HWY 4 Storage to achieve their vision of a top-tier storage facility. The key benefits realized included:
| Enhanced Durability: Both NorLock and RibCore panels provided superior durability, ensuring the storage units and ceiling could withstand daily wear and tear. | |
| Aesthetic Appeal: The clean, modern look of the panels contributed to a professional and inviting environment for customers. | |
| Easy Maintenance: The moisture-resistant and easy-to-clean surfaces of the panels reduced maintenance time and costs, allowing the facility to remain pristine. | |
| Efficient Installation: The free-standing partition design of NorLock and the lightweight nature of RibCore enabled a quick and efficient installation process, minimizing disruptions and keeping the project on schedule. |
HWY 4 Storage's successful project showcases the versatility and quality of Trusscore building materials. By choosing NorLock for partitioning and RibCore for the ceiling, HWY 4 Storage created a durable, attractive, and efficient storage facility that meets the needs of their clients. Trusscore remains committed to providing innovative solutions that help businesses achieve their goals, one panel at a time.
"Our company used the NorLock and RibCore by Trusscore products on our storage facility we built 10 years ago. Initially we were able to save money and space by using NorLock as our interior structure. A decade has past and today it has the same clean maintenance free look we set out to achieve from day one."

Why Choose Trusscore for Your Storage Facility?
Strong & Durable
In a small storage unit, the walls will face constant contact as renters move items in and out. Thanks to the PVC and its unique inner truss design, Trusscore panels are scratch, dent, and damage resistant, will never yellow or fade, and are insect and termite resistant.
Bright & Reflective
In storage units with limited available natural or fixture lighting, white NorLock by Trusscore panels reflect 90% of light that strikes them, making the space appear brighter, easier to navigate, and easier for your renters to find what they’re looking for.
Easy to Clean
Not all storage unit renters are created equal, and some units may require a wipe down before it’s ready for someone else to move their stuff in. NorLock by Trusscore can be repeatedly cleaned with soap and water, chemical cleaners, or even a pressure washer to restore a unit to its original state.
