Slatwall panels are a flexible and durable shopfittings solution for retailers, being consistently usable for the display of many types of retail products. Since slatwall panels can be effectively removed and replaced with another type of panel in a few minutes, displays are frequently used by many types of retail establishments.

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.

The panels can be used as a permanent fixture or a stand-alone. Many varieties of accessories can be used with the panels, from acrylic to metal accessories. In addition, if a "raw" panel is purchased, one that is simply the bare wood surface, colors can be applied to the panel board, thereby flawlessly implementing the colors that retailers choose that will integrate the display into existing store surroundings.

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.

Sales can be enhanced, mobility or product implemented, and organization restored to retail establishments, businesses, and private homes, but only if and when the proper slatwall components are chosen and used

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.

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.

"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.
