Slatwall continues to be popular due to their versatility and ability to capitalise on empty space. They quickly change any surface into a potential place for shelving and, with their regimented and strong grooves, allow for a wide variety of shelving options to support your products.
Slatwall Design
Large and small vertical space may benefit from slatwall design. With as little imposition as you choose, the mounts allow for a multitude of display options that may be adjusted, swapped, or removed easily, quickly, and at any time. Items may be placed much higher than on central displays without loss of visibility, meaning that you can pick products to be seen from across the store. This also works to alleviate pressure from your shop floor items. You can divide products between the two display options and reduce congestion of freestanding shelves and rails.
It is their ability to be customised is a well-favoured quality. With many stores needing to display a changing or rotating stock, adaptable shelving options are a necessity. Regardless of your shelving needs or store aesthetic, you will be able to find attachments and accessories that work for you. One of these attachments is the slatwall panel insert, an essential component for your shop’s fittings. However, despite their necessity, many people remain unaware of their function and may, wrongly, treat them as an afterthought.
Why Inserts?
The slatwall insert is fit between the parallel grooves between each panel. They are necessary for the lasting strength and stability of the individual panels. Not only do they conceal the hazard of exposed material edging but they allow for more robust support without any concern of damage. Since the panels themselves are wood and the fittings may be metal, over time or under a more demanding load, the panels will begin to compromise their integrity. This is also beneficial to the panel’s longevity leading to longer usage from your shelving investment. Inserts also remove any wobble that shelf may be susceptible to, increasing the safety of the fittings attached by minimising the gap between the panel and the desired attachment.
As with the slatwall panels themselves, the inserts are available in a wide variety of different colours, styles, and materials. Regardless of the cosmetic requirements of your store, you will be able to find an insert that compliments your interior design and, whether you are looking for plum or silver strips, we can help.
Varieties
Both of the material options available, PVC and aluminium, are continuously popular for good reason. PVC inserts, which are simply pressed between the panels, are available in various colours, including mirrored variations. They can be installed and removed easily without training and in a matter of seconds. While the aluminium inserts have the extra durability and reinforcement. Sliding in, alternatively, from the side, the aluminium inserts are even stronger than the PVC and allow your slatwalls to support a heavier display while also working more effectively to deter any damage to the panels themselves. This is particularly useful if you are planning on using accessories, such as hooks, baskets, or arms, as a fitting option since they impose their weight on a smaller surface area of the panel.
