If you have a retail outlet of any kind where products or inventory is stored on racks, hangers or hooks, using slatwall systems on some or all of the walls is a very wise choice.
There are different options in slatwall systems, but some are more durable and long-lasting than others. PVC systems are very popular and lightweight, but they can be damaged, and they also can begin to chip and dent if hangers or racks used on the wall are holding heavy objects or large qualities of items.
To avoid this, aluminum slatwall systems make a great option. These are very durable and built to last, and choosing a mill or brushed type of finish, or even a powder coat option, gives you a customized look that sets your retail outlet apart.
Modern Look without Costly Renovations
One of the issues with aluminum slatwall systems that is often overlooked is how it upgrades a wall, the back of the till area or even the ends of the display cases without any need for costly renovations.
These low-cost systems are installed over existing drywall or wall surfaces, and a contractor can easily complete an entire retail outlet in a weekend or even a few hours, meaning limited downtime to get a whole new look.
Easy to Maintain
Aluminum is highly resistant to corrosion, staining or any type of discoloration, scratching or damage. Cleaning is easy and just requires a wipe down with a microfiber cloth to remove dirt and dust.
If you do need to wash slatwall systems warm water and soap is all that is required, followed by a quick polish with a dry cloth to remove any watermarks or soap residue.
Endless Configurations Possible
Once you have installed the slatwall you can then choose to buy a wide variety of display hooks, hangers, racks and even shelving units designed for this wall system.
These simply slide into the grooves on either side of the slat, create a solid base for large hooks, hangers, peg hooks, shelves or even the waterfall or full bar types of racks that allow you to hang clothing or items.
To reorganize a display or to accommodate for smaller or larger items it is simple to change the location of the hooks and other accessories. Smaller items can be grouped on the slatwall systems and items can be moved into groups or collections for easy marketing no matter what the current styles may be.
