Saltwall is The New Universal Shopfittings Solution

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.

Because quality slatwall components are versatile, back panels can also be changed to conform to changing retail needs, replacing slat panels with solid or perforated panels within a few minutes.

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.

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.

Accessories for the panel allow retailers to practically control every area of the display, as the grooves on the panels allow maximum flexibility of displays. They can also be used for displaying heavier, bulkier merchandise. The weight of the load must be proportionate to the accessories used here, and consultation with a shopfitter of choice will clear up any concerns a retailer may have in choice of slatwall panels or accessories.

Mouldings are either joining mouldings, edge mouldings, or corner mouldings, and can be used solely or together to exhibit goods with the utmost of ease. Joining mouldings are a simple choice for joining two panels together, while edge mouldings come in a variety of sizes and shapes for the development of more complex displays.

"Catty Corner" displays are possible with the use of panel store fixtures, as the fixtures turn the flat panel displays into whatever shape is needed for any display. Even the smallest or the largest empty and available space can be used for an attractive and sales oriented display if the proper panel store fixture is used.
