Lesson #2

Knowing The Measurements Of Your Retail Space

When ordering your slatwall, it is imperative that you know the size/dimensions of your retail space. This will avoid undue waste and additional freight charges when ordering unneeded panels.

Lesson #3

The Different Groove Spacing On Your Slatwall Panel

What is Groove Spacing and what is Standard Groove Spacing?

  • Groove Spacing is the distance of space between grooves on a slatwall panel.
  • Standard Groove Spacing is 3" on center. This means that from the center of one groove to the center of the next groove the measurement is 3".
  • There are different groove spacing options for slatwall panels available at an additional cost. These cuts are custom made and will increase lead-time. You may choose from 3", 6", and 12" (not shown).

For Something Completely Different Try Cube Wall!

If you are looking for something unique, there is another option called Cube Wall. Vertical and horizontal grooves are cut with 6" or 12" cube dimensions that allows you to get all of the advantages of slatwall with a new look. The vertical channels break up the endless horizontal lines that give slatwall its distinctive appearance. This option is available in many different colors at additional cost.

Please note - Discount Shelving and Displays does not recommend using both horizontal and vertical slatwall panels in the same run, the grooves will not align properly. This is due to production with two different machines.

Lesson #4

The Different Strengths Of Your Slatwall Panel

All Slatwall has the same strength regardless of the finish. The panels are made with same "core" material: 3/4" thick Medium Density Fiberboard. The only way to increase strength of a slatwall panel is to order panels with metal inserts. If the function of the slatwall panel is to hold a heavier weight capacity or if you are using hangrails with the slatwall, then it is recommended that you choose this option. There are certain inserts available for a more decorative look, but they do not increase strength.
