Retail Storage with Slatwall

1) Retailers have used slatwall as a convenient way to store inventory for years. It is a cheap way to give you a lot of versatile storage space in small store rooms and boutiques. It’s easy to stay organized with just a few slatwall accessories. Shelves, racks, and hooks are easily moved to create storage areas for just about any kind of merchandise. Clamps, clips, and other accessories also give you an added functional benefit that you don’t get with any other type of storage system.



2) Slatwall panels come in many different styles. Choose the ones that are made to function as you need them to. Metal inserts into the slats create an area for hanging accessories that can support about double the weight of slatwall without metal inserts. Heavier objects can be hung from metal insert slatwall, so check the weight of what you want to store before installing. Most panels have to have the inserts in place before they are installed. Most people choose to go ahead and buy the panels with the inserts because it can be difficult to predict the weight of everything that the wall will ever hold.



3) Slatwall is great for saving space because it utilizes vertical space that is often ignored. Shelving only goes so high and awkwardly shaped objects can waste valuable space. Hanging things on slatwall is convenient. Nothing gets hidden and everything can be easily rearranged to fit even oddly shaped spaces. Hang items all the way to the ceiling and see how much room you can make in your storage areas. You can easily fill in gaps to make the most of the space that you have. Extend the storage area out further into the room simply by using deeper or longer hanging bars. Find a space for everything when you choose from hundreds of inexpensive and reusable accessories. Many retail store owners find that they only need to invest in their systems one time and find that they last many, many years.



4) Slatwall panels can also be used to create free-standing storage areas. Put three together to create a triangular standing storage space. Place items inside or hang them all around. You can use multiple panels to create a custom sized storage display that fits in odd spaces, like underneath stairs. These are very popular for organizing and storing accessory inventory in retail stores. The benefits of these types of versatile slatwall systems are endless.
