Slatwall Panels

The Retailer's favourite. Versatile and visually appealing - from £10.25 ea.

Coloured PVC inserts add strength and provide the finishing touch. Aluminium Inserts are even stronger and suit contemporary or classic themes. A range of trims completes the look.

Not all slatwall is the same - The quality of the mdf & the surface finish vary.. more>>

We hold these finishes in stock:

We can also supply these "Special Order" finishes: please allow 7 - 10 days for delivery

Slatwall Inserts

PVC Insert - "In stock" colours

"Non-stock" colours also available

Slatwall Trims

Choice of trims - available in cream, white and light grey.

The flexible corner trim is mouldable to any internal or external angle. Fix using gap filling adhesive or clear silicone. Larger rigid corner trim hides any gaps on external corners and fixes with same method.

The 2 part trims need to be "built-in" as slatwall panels are installed. Use the H trim where background is uneven which would cause untidy joints. Not needed where timber battens or a completely flat wall is the background - simply butt boards together for an unubtrusive pencil-line joint.

Delivery

Minimum quantity of 4 boards for palletised deliveries or palletised collections.

Delivery Charges - There is a minimum delivery charge of £47 for 1200 x 1200mm and £74 for 2400 x 1200mm*. The exact cost depends on the delivery location and quantity of boards. Remember to allow for waste on larger jobs to avoid having to order 1 or 2 more boards.

Tip: to save on delivery charges for a small number of 2400 x 1200mm consider ordering 1200 x 1200mm boards; they can join together halfway through a slot so the join is concealed when insert is used. Looks like 2400 x 1200 boards when finished. Also easier to handle - see note below.

You are responsible for unloading! Drivers are not obliged to help with unloading so you will need to have adequate manpower. In practice many drivers will assist and sometimes a tail-lift vehicle is used so that the pallet can be left for you to unload at your leisure. Deliveries are made between 0800 and 1730hrs, sometimes via articulated lorry - you must advise us if there are restrictions on delivery times or restricted vehicle access. Deliveries will be made to kerbside if vehicle cannot get to within reasonable distance of premises. Failure to notify us of any of the above can result in failed delivery and re-delivery charges. If we know of any restrictions in advance we can usually find a way to deliver that is satisfactory to both parties. 'Before 10am', 'Before Noon' and 'Saturday' deliveries are possible at extra cost - please contact us for a quotation for delivery.

Further information for large boards: If you haven't handled large slatwall boards you may be surprised at how heavy & awkward to handle they are. For large amounts of slatwall delivered by lorry you will need two fit, strong people i.e. not those re-covering from recent heart operations, your mother, etc (yes, it has happened). This is so that the driver can slide the boards down off the lorry to two people. For small amounts or large amounts delivered in our own van one fit person will be required. If in doubt ask for more information or use 1200 x 1200 boards.

Not all slatwall is equal!

Our slatwall panels are:

Made from UK sourced boards

Made from dense Deep-Router Specification MDF with a Melamine face

Slotted in the UK.

There are slatwall boards on the market that are using inferior, less durable, thin-foil finishes and some imported from the Far East using inferior spec mdf. We have been offered these boards in bulk and the density of the MDF (and therefore the strength) is less - you can tell by the weight of each board. They might be OK for a temporary christmas shop or short-term lease but don't expect years of use.

Glossary

MDF (Medium-density fibreboard)
A panel made from wood fibers that are "cooked" and mixed with a synthetic resin and bonded under high heat and pressure. The finished panel is both hard and smooth. However, The quality of the resin, the particle size and the process involved can produce boards that are higher specification and more suited to fine machining. We use deep-route specification mdf, which is denser, producing clean edges when machined. The surface is completely smooth; on inferior boards the more fibrous surface will chip and tear even when covered in melamine. These defects may not be immediately visible when machined, but become apparent later.

Melamine (Low-pressure Laminate)
This is a resin-impregnated paper that is applied to a board with a combination of heat and pressure that melts the resin into the MDF, creating a hard, durable surface. The most common low-pressure laminate is called Melamine which is named for the type of resin used.

Paper Thin Foil
As the name implies this a paper foil that is glued to a board using a cold process. Cheaper than melamine, it is widely used for domestic furniture.

Remember - ask if it's melamine!
