The cost of slatwall panels can vary widely based on factors such as material quality, finish, size, texture, and whether it includes metal inserts for additional support. Here's a general pricing guide for slatwall panels produced with MDF.
The lowest cost slatwall panel available is a white slatwall panel with 3" spacing of the slats. Across the globe, this is the most commonly produced slatwall panel and therefore the most readily available for purchase. Any variation away from white including color, slat spacing, texture, metal inserts, slat orientation, decorative inserts, dimensional effect, etc. will increase cost - often times dramatically.
Basic Panels: The most common 4' x 8' slatwall panels made with 3/4" MDF without any special features or finishes typically range from $65 to $85 per panel. This is usually called "paint-grade" slatwall.
Laminated Melamine Slatwall Panels: For slatwall panels with melamine laminate prices range from $70 to $120 per panel depending on if the laminate is embossed to create a texture so it more closely simulates wood. This type of slatwall panel covering is known as "LPL" or low pressure laminate. This is by far the most common type of slatwall panel and produced in large production runs and stocked in common "colors" such as white, black, maple, cherry, barnwood, etc.
Plastic Laminated Slatwall Panels: For slatwall panels with a plastic laminate prices range from $125 to $250 or more per panel depending on if the plastic laminate is manufactured to create a texture so it more closely simulates wood. This type of slatwall panel is known as "HPL" for high pressure laminate. Plastic laminate is often called Formica since this was the brandname given to it when it was invented in 1912. Other major brands in the United States include Nevamar, Pionite and Wilsonart. It is more expensive than melamine slatwall panels since the plastic laminate costs more than melamine. It is most often used for custom applications and manufactured to order. This is often used if the user desires a unique color such as a vibrant blue, red, green, or yellow as these aren't produced with melamine.
"Other" Laminated Slatwall Panels: Slatwall panels are also available with a range of other materials. These are typically over $300 a panel and can include materials like metals and mirrored surfaces. These are more expensive than the melamine slatwall panel since the cost of the covering is more expensive. These are also most often used for custom applications and manufactured to order.
Dimensional Wood Slatwall Panels: For slatwall panels with a very real wood look and feel the price range is usally more than $350 per 4' x 8' section. These slatwall panels are produced through an incredibly process and then "printed" with an specialty inkjet printer to produce the final look. These are designed to simulate the look of rough surfaces such as barnwood, brick, tile, concrete, tires treads, and diamond plate, with more surfaces being developed all the time.
Laminated Real Wood Veneer Slatwall Panels: For slatwall panels with real wood veneer finishes, prices range greatly depending on the type of wood. A common birch panel may sell for $75 while a rare real wood veneer can sell for $100's.
Printed Slatwall Panels: It is also possible to take almost all of these different slatwall panels and print on them with things like your logo, graphics, outdoor scene, or words. This customization can add $100's per slatwall panel. It is often used to create a very unique retail environment.
Other Options: There are several slatwall panel options that can add to the cost:Metal inserts to increase the weight capacity of the slatwall panel.
- Metal inserts add $80 to $160 per panel depending on the number of slats.
- Decorative inserts for the slats to "cover" the wood color from the MDF. These usually cost $10 to $15 per 4' x 8' panel depending on the number of slats.
- Non-standard slat spacing for special situations with a unique use. These require custom production runs so are much more expensive than the common 3" and 6" spaced slats.
- Vertical orientation instead of horizontal orientation is usually only purchased for unique situations in which the slatwall panel is being used in the production of another store fixture and not placed directly on the wall. The reason for this is that the cost of slatwall panels with this orientation can be double the standard horizontal orientation. In addition, the installer can simply cut a horizontal slatwall panel in half and mount on the wall for the same outcome.
We sell 4x8 slatwall panels and 8x4 slatwall panels. We also 4x4 slatwall panels and 2x4 slatwall panels.
We stock the following colors of slatwall:
1 - White Slatwall
2 - Gloss White Slatwall
3 - White with Woodgrain Slatwall
4 - Black Slatwall
5 - Gloss Black Slatwall
6 - Black with Woodgrain Slatwall
7 - Gray Slatwall
8 - Sonoma Oak Slatwall
9 - Barnwood Slatwall
10 - Maple Slatwall
11 - Cherry Slatwall
12 - Mahogany Slatwall
13 - Walnut Slatwall
You also have the option of 3" or 6" groove spacing. 3" is the most common spacing since it offers the most versatility with vertical spacing of shelves, baskets, and hooks.
We also have the option of with or without metal inserts.
If you don't see a finish, groove spacing, or insert you want in the list above, please reach out as we are able to special order an infinite assortment of finishes groove spacing, and inserts.
The metal inserts in slatwall have many benefits:
1 - increase the weight capacity of shelves, hooks, and baskets by about 3x
2 - add to the appearance by providing a more finished look and hiding the raw wood in the grooves
3 - protecting the slatwall from damage if someone walks into a hook
4 - increasing the security of the slatwall installed
Slatwall panels can be purchased from a variety of sources. Here's where you can look:
Retail Display and Fixture Stores: These stores provide commercial-grade slatwall systems suitable for retail environments. They generally have the largest assortment although DISPLAYARAMA is one of only a few with 1000s of panels in-stock and ready-to-ship. They also sell an assortment of accessories so in a single purchase you can fulfill all of your slatwall needs.
Hardware / Home Improvement Stores: Stores like Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and True Value may all carry slatwall materials. However, their assortment will be very limited, the small inventory is likely to have been mishandled and damaged in the store, and it will be difficult to purchase, load in a vehicle and transport to your project. In addition, hardware / home improvement stores do not stock the accessories required to outfit a retail store with an assortment of baskets, brackets, hooks and shelves needed to merchandise a retail store. Some of these retailers may be able to special order slatwall but the clerk at the store doesn't have the experience to assist in placing an order to ensure you are getting what you need or expect. In addition, special orders may take weeks to deliver.
Online Marketplaces: Websites like Amazon or eBay offer a wide range of options for purchasing slatwall panels, including various sizes, colors, and finishes. However, unless the store specializes in slatwall, the purchase is unlikely to go well since they won't have the experience of how to palletize and crate the slatwall for a damage-free delivery. Additionally, many of the online marketplaces won't have an adequate assortment of baskets, brackets, hooks and shelves to outfit a retail store. So, you would have to make multiple purchases across different suppliers resulting in an increase in shipping expenses.
Manufacturer Direct Purchases: Buying directly from manufacturers may allow for more customization in terms of size and finish. Generally speaking, they also don't hold inventory and only make-to-order. They also do not sell slatwall accessories. Finally, since they also produce for retail store display and fixture companies and rely on them for the majority of their sales, they are unlikely to be the lowest cost or prioritize your order over their repeat clients.
So, if you want the largest assortment of slatwall panels and slatwall accessories at the lowest price AND you want knowledgeable professionals that can guide you with your purchase, it is recommended you work with a retail store display and fixture company such as DISPLAYARAMA.
Yes, slatwall panels can be shipped. However, in order to be successfully shipped and received, our experience has taught us the following:
Crate the pallet of slatwall: The pallet of slatwall, must be adequately crated to protect it from the dangers of handling through multiple transfers.
Inspect the pallet: The pallet should be carefully inspected upon receipt BEFORE removing it from the trailer. Look for damage to the crate or pallet. If either are damaged it is likely the slatwall panels are also damaged. If this is the case, remove the crate and inspect the panels carefully. Ideally, the recipient would inspect the edges and front surface of each slatwall panel.
Offload the slatwall panels manually: After passing inspection, the slatwall panels need to be offloaded very carefully. Since most retailers don't have a receiving dock or a forklift capable of offloading a pallet of slatwall, it is required to manually offload a panel at a time. The panels each weigh 75 to 90 pounds so will require two people to offload. The truck driver will not be one of these people.
Lift gates are not recommended: Some truck drivers will try to offload the pallet of slatwall panels with a liftgate and floor jack. This is likely to damage the slatwall panels since the floor jacks are not large enough to fully support the pallet and the pallet is heavy and oversized and very difficult to handle. The typical result is torsion, sliding, or falling which can all damage the slatwall panels, even while crated.
Shipping slatwall will range between $200 and $600 for the majority of orders with the average order being about $400 for 10 sheets. We also have an option to reduce shipping that we will present to you when we quote.
Unlike most resellers of slatwall, we stock 1000's of slatwall panels. So, we are generally able to ship the next day after the order is finalized. Shipping time can be 1 to 4 days to most destinations.
Yes, you can pick up or arrange your own shipping. Our warehouse is located at 4000 N 28th Ter, Hollywood, FL 33020. We have a dock-high shipping dock so no lift-gate is required.
Absolutely, in fact, we are the ONLY reseller offering a cutting service. We created a process to customize the slatwall to installation size which includes the use of a special saw we engineered and installed.
Yes, we sell a special zinc coated screw with self-tapping tip that can install slatwall panels in wood or metal studs. By having the correct screw available you don't need to waste time at the hardware store trying to find the correct screw. The best part is that no pre-drilling is required, saving significant installation time. In addition, the screw closely matches the color of the aluminum inserts.
