Slatwall

A Slatwall display is a versatile retail fixture consisting of horizontal grooves or “slats” that allow for easy attachment of various display accessories. It’s widely used in stores for its flexibility in creating customizable product displays.

Slatwall panels are commonly made from:

• Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF)

• Plywood

• Hardwood

• Plastic or PVC

• Metal (usually aluminum)

Key advantages include:

• Flexibility in display configuration

• Easy to update and rearrange

• Maximizes wall space utilization

• Wide range of compatible accessories

• Durability and long-lasting use

• Cost-effective for changing displays

Yes, Slatwall can often be installed over:

• Drywall

• Concrete

• Wood paneling

• Some types of existing wall fixtures

It’s important to ensure the underlying wall can support the weight of the Slatwall and displayed products.

Common accessories include:

• Shelves (glass, wood, or metal)

• Hooks and pegs

• Brackets

• Baskets and bins

• Hangrails for clothing

• Sign holders and literature displays

• Specialty fixtures for specific products (e.g., shoe displays)

Always ensure proper ventilation and consider the specific environmental challenges.

Removal and relocation considerations:

• Most Slatwall systems can be uninstalled with minimal wall damage

• Panels can often be reused in new locations

• Some damage to the underlying wall may occur, requiring repair

• Modular systems are designed for easier relocation

• Consider future plans when initially installing to facilitate potential moves
