Many retail stores looking to make the most of their space will turn to mesh or slat displays. Both make wonderful use of small spaces. By making use of the vertical space on your walls, you can greatly reduce the number of floor displays you need for your store. Both are very versatile. You can constantly rearrange shelves, hooks, and hanging racks to suit your inventory needs. Your clothes and other items will not be hidden from view, crammed on floor shelves. Instead, they will be easily visible to anyone who walks by your store. This can easily increase sales, your customer base, and your wallet.
Slatwall is a very popular choice among retailers looking to get the most out of a small space. Slatwall comes in a variety of colors and wood grains. Slatwall can be installed, by you or by a contractor, directly into the studs of your store’s walls. You may want to hire a professional to make sure they are anchored properly so they can handle maximum weight. Slatwall panels are offered with vinyl or aluminum slot inserts to further increase the amount of weight they can support.
If you select batten panel, please also order your batten panel accessories. Take an inventory of what you will have and determine how many shelves, hooks, hangers, and bars you will need. Brushed nickel, chrome, and black are popular choices. Acrylic is also widely used to draw less attention to the hardware. You may want to use metal over acrylic for heavy items as it is more durable. There is an endless variety of hardware to choose from. Once you’ve installed your slat panel, you can organize and rearrange clothing, electronics, accessories, and more with ease and convenience.
Gridwall is another popular option for utilizing space. Gridwall is also sold in panels and is basically a metal grid. Heavy gauge wire forms the grid. You can install it on the walls of your store and use gridwall accessories to display all your inventory. Gridwall is available in black, chrome, and brushed nickel. You can make your gridwall fade into the background or stand out for an urban feel. Gridwall is very strong and can be less expensive than slatwall. You still get the versatility to rearrange items whenever you want with very little effort.
You get one more advantage with gridwall. Grating sections are offered in a greater variety of sizes. You can also join sections and create floor displays. You may decide to build an accessory tower, or just another coat rack that doesn’t take up the space that a large circular coat rack does. You can link the sections of the grid wall together to create a cubicle wall or freestanding cubicles for more merchandising options.
Whether you choose a slat wall or a mesh wall for your store, you’re sure to enjoy the space they create as well as the versatility they provide.
