Slatwall displays are a great way to showcase everything from sports gear to baby shoes, women's jewelry to tools. Just like the name implies, they are flat pieces of laminate or veneer with slats in them to allow for hooks and slatwall display shelves. Slatwall panels and accessories are an investment that will last your business a long time.

In this guide you'll learn how to:

1. Design slatwall fixtures in a cohesive way to display your goods and products
2. Choose quality slatwall display shelves
3. Make a statement with slatwall panels and displays

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Plan out your business displays


Imagine your retail display in your head. You can even draw out your store design. Not only do you need slatwall panels or floor fixtures, you need slatwall fixtures and slatwall accessories like slatwall hooks and baskets.

I recommend: KC Store Fixtures sells slatwall panels, slatwall pegs, slatwall shelves and more. National Slatwall sells three different types of slatwall ranging from low cost laminate panels to unfinished paintwall.

Decide if you want a mixture of slatwall panels and floor displays


Slatwall panels are attached to the walls around your business space. You can attached slatwall shelves and slatwall fixtures to them. In addition, you can buy slatwall floor fixtures that rotate, to show off your wares.

I recommend: Trio Displays sells slatwall fixtures to place around your business. Optional accessories include casters, logos, groove inserts, customized colors and finishes. Windmill Slatwall Projects sells custom slatwall panels that really make a statement.

Allow the slatwall to become part the look of your business


Slatwall comes in many finishes. You can buy birch or applewood slatwall, paintable slatwall or even customized color slatwall panels. With so many options, your slatwall display shelving will become a part of your business, instead of competing with your design.

I recommend: Check out a custom design created by MegaWall. It's a pink slatwall display that really stands out as being unique. FixtureDepot sells quality wood slatwall, as well as laminate slatwalls in colors like red, blue and yellow.

Get a quote for slatwall based on your business design plan


While you can buy slatwall and accessories online, you may want to get a quote so the cost doesn't get out of hand. Speaking with a slatwall manufacturer may also help you achieve your expectations.

I recommend: Storefix.com requires you to fill out a form to get a price quote. Check out Spacewall International's  pricing page for a better idea of how much stalwall will run your company.
