Slatwall Base vs Open Bottom of the Bay

Published 31 August 2026 · 4 min read

Empty bottom grooves are unfinished spec. Name a base leftover or a kick leftover. Put height and projection on the quotation.

Slatwall base versus open bottom of the bay is leftover millimetres finished at the floor — empty bottom grooves are unfinished spec. Independent shops in Thailand leave the last grooves raw because leftover millimetres still took a hook. The shops that look finished specify a base leftover, a kick leftover, or a low shelf leftover, not an open bottom forest.

Base deck and kick plate is the kit. Slatwall panel layout is the bay. Corner trim is the edge. Outrigger return vs end-cap trim is the return leftover. This page is base leftover versus open bottom. We do not publish a universal millimetre.

What each job is for

Named base leftover. A finished plinth so grooves do not run into floor dust. Remaining walk after projection — aisle width. Unused millimetres finish as trim. Humidity: the edge at the floor is the wet line. Mixed leftover bases, leftover kicks, and leftover hangers on leftover millimetres photograph as unfinished spec.

Named kick leftover. A recessed or flush toe space so staff can stand at the wall. Grocery-deep leftover millimetres kill boutique walk. How to measure: named leftover millimetres at the base. Put height and projection on the quotation.

Not an open-groove city. Layout. Two-metre decompression: raw grooves in the door are still in the door. Gondola already has a kick — do not copy a supermarket module onto a boutique perimeter. Slatwall vs gridwall vs pegboard is the wall kit.

Window: one story, not the open bottom in the glass. Opening priority: wrap and walk before leftover hooks in the last grooves. Load: we do not invent kilograms. Slatwall accessories sit above a finished base.

Common mistakes

  • Empty bottom grooves as leftover millimetres.
  • Grocery-deep kick leftover in a boutique bay.
  • Invented millimetre standards on the blog.
  • Hooks in the last grooves in decompression.

What belongs on the quotation

  1. Base leftover vs kick leftover vs low shelf leftover — named split, millimetres for one family.
  2. Remaining millimetres finished as trim, not extra hooks in the last grooves.
  3. Remaining walk after projection. Height and projection on the quotation.
  4. No invented kilograms. No universal millimetre on the blog.
  5. Language of the document, Thai or English.

Send photos of the leftover bay bottom. That is enough to specify one leftover instead of an open-groove forest.

Finish leftover millimetres at the base

If you are specifying slatwall in a small shop in Thailand, do not leave the last grooves as leftover millimetres. Send the shop type, the size, and the opening month through the fixture plan form. We will return one fixture schedule and one written quotation — Thai or English — covering the base leftover, the kick leftover, and the walk.
