New Slatwall Shopfittings for Versatile Retail Display

Due to advances in slatwall component technology, it is now easier than ever for retailers to construct a quality, long-lasting display. Everything from “no brackets required” exists now, and the flexibility and ease with which displays can now be customized is absolutely astounding! In addition, slatwall components come in many types of materials, from plastic to metal, and in a wide variety of sizes, which again leads itself to the variety and uniformity, and of course, longevity of a display.

Existing fittings on walls that require a solid slatwall panel, can be taken down effortlessly, by replacing the solid panel with a slatted panel, saving costs to the retailer in both fixtures and man hours to complete the changes. These panels are usually the panel of choice for displays requiring a tiered effect, with retail items displayed in as many tiers as wished, top to bottom. This “viewable” set up can be a great sales booster and one of the many reasons the slatted slatwall panels continues to be so popular.

Because quality slatwall components are versatile, back panels can also be changed to conform to changing retail needs, replacing slat panels with solid or perforated panels within a few minutes.

Of course, this all ties into the quality and flexibility offered by a shopfitting service, and care must be given when purchasing to both the quality and flexibility, or the slatwall components will not necessarily fit the needs of the purchaser.

For new shopfittings, the panels are also space effective, leaving more floor space available to merchandisers. The total use of wall area is also another great feature of the slatwall panels. The panels usually provide a very neat appearance, with a clean look to the display.

Fixtures give the needed flexibility to panels and the panels then can be used for both wall-mounted displays and freestanding floor displays. From small, individualistic freestanding displays, to the display of heavier, bulkier, wall-mounted merchandise, panel store fixtures live up to the task each and every time. Set up and take down times are cut drastically with the use of panel store fixtures, leading this to be a very cost effective and time management effective method of retail display.

Everything from timber applications to plastics exists now, alongside aluminum products, and quality retail fixtures have advanced to the point where many times the organizational needs of business offices as well as homeowners are being met with slatwall components.

Merchandisers are limited only by their imaginations when using panel store fixtures, and panel store fixtures pay for themselves, obviously, many times over, by extending the reach of displayable materials and the sales that occur with the extended reach.
