Slatwall Information

Do you have some questions about Slatwall? How much does it cost?, Are all Slatwalls the same? Below we have put together some convenient information about our Slatwall.

What is Slatwall?

Slatwall goes by many names such as Slat Wall, Slat Board, Slatboard, Slot Board Groove Wall Board or Slatted Wooden Panels. It is the most popular way of displaying products in the UK. Available in either 8' x 4' or 4' x 4' sheet sizes, it has horizontal grooves across it allowing slatwall fittings to be placed. These grooves can be filled with coloured slatwall inserts, to strengthen the board and add to its appealing characteristics. The slatwall board is screwed to the wall creating a wonderful display for all your products.

What is Slatwall made of?

Our classic classic slatwall panels and deluxe slatwall panels are made from medium density fibreboard (MDF). Slatwall panels are then coated with a melamine finish in an array of colours or wood effects.

How much weight can Slatwall hold?

This is a difficult question to answer as there are many factors to consider. One thing for sure is that if you use PVC slatwall inserts it will hold more. For maximum weight bearing use our aluminium slatwall inserts. As a rough guide our metal slatwall fittings can hold approximately 15kg if mounted using aluminium slatwall inserts. Please contact us for more detailed information.

How do you cut Slatwall?

Slatwall is very easy to trim and the best way to cut straight lines is using a table saw or circular saw. Remember that if you use a table saw, lay the slatwall face down and for circular saws lay it face up. This ensure you do not chip the panel when cutting. Smaller cuts can be done with a sharp toothed blade.

How much does Slatwall cost?
