We take a lot of orders over the phone during the day and I always ask “which colour inserts do you need?” when people are ordering Slatwall with me and I have noticed that many people do not understand what Slatwall Inserts are and what they do. So I thought I would write a little page to help explain.

Slatwall Panels have slots on them, these are what allow you to use hooks and arms or whatever Slatwall Accessories you use. These slots are cut right in to the MDF that the panel is made from and most Slatwall accessories are made from metal. So if you are using your Slatwall to display anything even slightly heavy your metal accessories can damage the slot on your Slatwall Panels.

This is where you would use Slatwall Inserts.

Our Slatwall Inserts are available in coloured PVC Plastic or Aluminium. If you are using your Slatwall to display general items and nothing really heavy you will be ok to use the PVC ones, for heavy duty use or if you are looking for a premium finish you should use Aluminium ones.

Slatwall Inserts are simply 1200mm long strips that you insert in to the slots of your Slatwall panels. PVC and our ‘snap in aluminium’ inserts simply clip in to the front of slots on your Slatwall panels. The easy way to think about this is, get your Slatwall panels mounted on your wall, then take a piece of insert, line it up with a slot and push with your thumbs, it simply clicks in to place.

We also do an Aluminium ‘T’ Section Insert. This is our strongest one and would need to be inserted into your Slatwall panels by sliding it in from the side, this is probably best done before mounting your panels on the wall.

We sell our Slatwall Inserts in packs. Each pack contains 12 pieces of inserts in 1200mm lengths.

So if you have or are buying 1200x1200mm Slatwall panels you would need 1 pack of our Slatwall inserts to complete each panel.

If however you already have or are buying 2400x1200mm Slatwall panels, you would need 2 packs of our Slatwall panels to complete each panel.

This can be a confusing product I know, but I hope I have explained it clearly enough. If you still have any questions you can leave a comment below or contact us directly.
