Functional Slatwall

Slatwall is one of the top display picks of retail store owners.  Slatwall makes it easy to turn a store wall into a complex merchandising system.  You can choose slatwall in a variety of finishes and colors to compliment your store displays.  Additionally, you can quickly and easily move around racks, shelves, hanging bars, and hooks to fit in as much or as little inventory as you need.

Slatwall is made of medium-density fiberboard and is sturdy enough to last for many years of use.  Check with your manufacturer about how much weight you can put on your wall.  You may choose to add aluminum inserts when you place your order.  These make it possible to hold 50% more weight than a standard slatwall.

How much weight you can put on a slatwall display also depends on the quality of installation.  It is recommended that you have a contractor install your slatwall to ensure that it is anchored well enough to hold a lot of weight.  Because of the possible liability of a wall falling, your insurance company may require that you have your slatwall professionally installed, so be sure that you check with them before you decide to do it yourself.

Slatwall has a clean look and is a versatile option for merchandising a wall.  But, you can also use sections of slatwall to create merchandising racks.  These displays can be free standing.  They are very useful for floor displays, accessory displays, impulse item displays, brochure displays and more.  You can place them near your retail showcase so that customers get a good look at smaller or impulse items while they wait in line.  You can use slat wall to create your own shelving, or custom fitted displays that go into oddly sized areas.

Slatwall has sturdy construction and finish that can last through many years of use.  Their versatility is equivalent to that of grid wall with many accessories to choose from.  You can use hooks, shelving, acrylic pieces, and more to make your merchandise look good.  Not only that, it keeps everything facing out towards the customer.  No more unsold inventory that was simply looked over because it was crammed on a regular rack.  With slatwall, you can rearrange items to bring attention to the ones that aren’t selling.  You can hang mannequin torso forms to bring even more attention to your clothing.

You may be set with your slatwall, but you may also consider grid wall for your display needs.  Both styles of wall merchandisers are sturdy, versatile and make the most of vertical wall space.  You can save so much space, time and effort with either gridwall or slatwall.
