1) Retailers have used slats as a convenient way to store inventory for years. It’s an inexpensive way to give you plenty of versatile storage space in small warehouses and boutiques. It’s easy to stay organized with just a few ribbon accessories. Shelves, racks, and hooks move easily to create storage areas for almost any type 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 work the way you need them to. Metal inserts in the slats create an area for hanging accessories that can support about twice the weight of the slat wall without metal inserts. Heavier items can be hung from the wall by metal insert slats, so check the weight of what you want to store before installing. Most panels must have the inserts in place before installing. Most people choose to go ahead and buy the panels with the inserts because it can be hard to predict the weight of everything the wall will hold.
3) Slatwall is great for saving space because it uses vertical space that is often overlooked. Shelves are so tall that oddly shaped objects can waste valuable space. Hanging things on the slat wall is convenient. Nothing is hidden and everything can be easily rearranged to fit even oddly shaped spaces. Hang items up to the ceiling and see how much space you can make in your storage areas. You can easily fill in the gaps to make the most of the space you have. Extend the storage area further into the room simply by using deeper or longer hanging bars. Find a space for everything when you choose from hundreds of affordable, reusable accessories. Many retail store owners find that they only need to invest in their systems once and find that they last for many, many years.
4) Slatwall panels can also be used to create separate storage areas. Put three together to create a triangular free standing storage space. Place items inside or hang them everywhere. You can use multiple panels to create a custom-sized storage display that fits in awkward spaces, like under stairs. These are very popular for organizing and storing accessory inventory in retail stores. The benefits of these types of versatile batten panel systems are endless.
