Screw-In Installation
By far the most common and simple installation, screw-in installation simply involves leveling out your slatwall and screwing it into a stud in your wall. Make sure to correctly line up your slatwall and level it out for a good clean look.
Installing Slatwall In Concrete And Brick
The instructions above apply to most drywall situations. When installing slatwall into concrete, cinder blocks, or brick, you will need to get more creative. You can do this in a couple ways. Tebo recommends building a fake wall or a furred out wall, then installing your slatwall as described above. This technique takes up room, but saves your wall from being drilled into.
Alternatively, you can install your slatwall directly into the brick or concrete by aligning your slatwall and pre-drilling your holes. Then you will need to take your slatwall down and widen the holes if necessary. To complete the install, you will need to either use wall anchors or specialty concrete nails.
While this method is effective at installing, it does create holes the wall behind the slatwall and can take much longer.
Rail Installation
A less popular rail bar installation system is usually used in specific cases. Heavier metal slatwall needs a more robust attachment system, thus a rail bar installation. Smaller pieces of slatwall that may be moved or taken up and down frequently (such as a display piece) may also use a rail bar installation system.
It starts with screwing the Panel Bar into studs in your wall. Then screw in Mounting Track to the slatwall with pre-drilled holes. Next, mount the slatwall on the rail. Four-inch extensions are available if needed.
The Panel Bar comes in silver powder coat color. and the Mounting Track available in steel, silver, and powder coat.
Safety
It is always important to be safe while installing slatwall. Make sure you practice proper safety when installing heavy or potentially dangerous materials.
High Pressure Laminates
High Pressure Laminate (HPL) offers decorative finishes with excellent durability. Select from an array of woodgrains, abstracts and metallic laminates from any major brand.
Depending on the merchandise you carry, you may want to have stronger or sturdier slatwall to display your items. Metal inserts certainly create stronger slatwall. However, field installed metal inserts are different from factory installed metal inserts. Field installed metal inserts are smaller to fit normal slatwall; by adding these inserts, space for your fixtures and shelves is reduced and may not even fit!
When installed at the factory, metal inserts are accounted and more space is provided. Factory installed metal inserts fit most slatwall accessories. Regardless, both types of metal inserts strengthen your slatwall.

While slatwall is durable and long-lasting, you can extend the useful lifetime and preserve the finish with a bit of maintenance.
Respect the Weight Limits
Slatwall is strong - especially if you opt for metal inserts. If you are displaying heavy items on your slatwall (such as leather jackets, large shelves, or tires) Tebo recommends getting slatwall with factory installed metal inserts. Factory installed metal inserts provide additional strength and allow for most shelf types to still be used*. Respecting your slatwall's weight limits, will not over-strain the fixture, which can cause cracks that ruin your slatwall. See our slatwall weight limits page for additional information.Clean Every Year
Cleaning your slatwall may be necessary from time to time. Follow these steps to clean your slatwall and keep it looking good. Test your cleaner on a small part of the slatwall to be sure it does not cause damage.** Always use soft and clean cloth when cleaning your slatwall.- Safely remove shelves and fixtures from your slatwall.
- Clear dust and debris on and within your slatwall with a duster and / or a vacuum.
- Use a mild cleaner sprayed on a cloth to gently clean your slatwall.
- Rinse your slatwall with a clean damp cloth (use warm water).
- Dry your slatwall with paper towels or a dry cloth.
- Clean and replace your slatwall shelves and fixtures.
*Field installed inserts are designed to fit into normal-sized slatwall, while factory installed metal inserts account for the extra room that the insert takes up. Field installed inserts may take up too much room and not allow for some fixtures to fit in slatwall with newly-added inserts.
**Tebo is not responsible for cleaning issues or damage.
