New Slatwall Shopfittings for Versatile Retail Display

By David Murphy

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.

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

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.

An eye towards quality, flexibility and durability of the components will go a long way towards assuring that all needs of the purchaser are met each and every time. Choosing slatwall components that do the job is now easier than ever and the trend towards improvement in the components continues to grow.

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.

Panel store fixtures are used with slatted panels, and include such devices as slatwall inserts, and slatwall mouldings, which turn the panels into a myriad of advertising displays. Inserts are available in a variety of compositions, from aluminum to plastic.

Making space is almost a necessity in many businesses and homes, and the shopfitting industry as a whole is seeing an upsurge in purchases of their products from both businesses and homeowners.
