Wall systems
Slatwall vs Gridwall for Small Goods
Two systems on one leftover strip is unfinished spec. Name one family per bay. Finish leftover millimetres.
Slatwall versus gridwall for small goods is peg density versus groove family — leftover millimetres are not a second system. Independent retailers in Thailand mix both because a leftover strip still had holes. The shops that still look finished specify one family per bay and finish leftover millimetres as trim.
Slatwall vs gridwall vs pegboard is the three-way buyer guide. Pegboard is the carded sibling. Gridwall hooks and baskets is the grid hardware. Slatwall accessories is the groove hardware. This page is small goods on one leftover wall.
What each is for
Slatwall. Groove family for hangrail, face-outs, and named shelf depth — groove spacing, slatwall shelf depth. Leftover millimetres at eye line finish as trim — corner trim.
Gridwall. Hook and basket density for carded SKUs. Mesh baskets vs shelves if goods are loose. Empty cells to leftover millimetres are not a second bay.
One family per bay. Mixed leftover strips photograph as unfinished spec — faceout spacing. Black vs chrome: do not add a fourth metal as “the other system.”
Tickets. Unpriced facings are not merchandising — price tickets. Hobby is the peg-vs-shelf sibling.
How much shelving if boxes sit. Grocery-deep bays steal a boutique unit. Aisle width: remaining walk after the hook. Load: we do not invent kilograms.
Landlord: drill vs freestanding. PVC vs MDF if the sheet is slatwall.
When slatwall vs grid
| Job | Slatwall | Gridwall |
|---|---|---|
| Hangrail + face-out | Strong | Weak |
| Carded peg density | Weak if leftover strip | Strong |
| 40 sqm | One family per bay | One family per bay |
| Mixed leftover strip | Never | Never |
Common mistakes
- Grid hooks on leftover slatwall millimetres.
- Two groove pitches plus a grid leftover.
- No tickets.
- Invented kilogram ratings.
What belongs on the quotation
- Slatwall vs gridwall — named per bay.
- Remaining millimetres — finished as trim.
- Accessory family vs sheet family.
- Load as named limits, not invented kilograms.
- Language of the document, Thai or English.
Send photos of every leftover strip. That is enough to specify one family instead of a mixed leftover bay.
One family per bay, leftover finished
