Using Slatwall To Its High Potential with All Its Accessories

Slatwalls are a must-own asset for any store that sells hundreds upon hundreds of different products. They are versatile units that allow products to be displayed in an organized manner, and allows consumers to explore your store and have access to all these products without encountering any problems in regards to store navigation.

But of course, slatwalls do not just display shelves, as they can be interchangeable with multiple different accessories. Here are all the slatwall accessories that you should consider.

Floating Shelves

When installed on slatwall, these shelves tend to look as if they are just floating there because the brackets are mounted to the shelf itself and hard to see from the customers point of view. Floating shelves are common in big box stores and supermarkets due to modern look this creats. One things to keep in mind is how much weight you are putting on the shelf. The brackets are attached to the shelf be careful of snapping/sagging the shelf with too much weight.

Brackets

Floating shelves are considered one-piece accessories, but shelves with brackets are considered two-piece slatwall accessories. Brackets give shelves additional support compared to just ordinary hinges, and in turn, the shelf becomes more stable, and can possibly support heavier products. Consider buying shelves with brackets for products that have some heft or weight to them.

Hooks

Hooks are somewhat easier to install than shelves, and these allow a metal bar to be put on display facing out towards the consumer. With these hooks, packaged products are meant to be hung on display with the packaging holes at the top going through them. Hooks have some advantages and disadvantages compared to shelves. Customers can better see and access the products on hooks more than on shelving units.

Hooks also don’t require much support and stability compared to shelving. The downside to hooks is that they require more room to display certain amounts of products. Hooks are made to display many different kinds of products from electronics to office supplies and everything in between. If it has a hole in its packaging, it can be hung on a hook.

Wire Baskets

Wire baskets are uncommon slatwall accessories, but they are not rare to come by at all. Stores such as pet stores and office supply stores really rely on them to display small and irregular products that cannot be displayed either on a shelf or a hook. One advantage that wire baskets have over hooks and shelving units is that they are great for closeout products.

You can choose to buy either large or small wire baskets depending on your store’s needs. These wire baskets can also be installed in conjunction with shelves, making them a highly versatile slatwall accessory. Also, these baskets are easily accessible to consumers. The downside to wire baskets, however, is that they can occupy a lot of space just for a certain number of products to be displayed.

Faceouts And Waterfalls

Slatwall faceouts and waterfalls are both slatwall accessories that are designed to hang articles of clothing. Yes, slatwalls too are capable of displaying clothing items, just like standalone clothing racks. These faceouts and waterfalls are ideal for displaying jeans, pants, dresses, blazers and other formal, high-profile, or in-demand clothes.

The difference between faceouts and waterfalls is that faceouts stick straight out and can carry as many clothing items as the bar allows, whereas waterfalls are slanted downward and have a number of grooves that are meant for displaying a limited number of items.. Waterfalls can also allow the consumer to see multiple clothing items at once due to their grooves separating the clothing..
