A Word about Strength
There are many things that affect the strength of slatwall including the load, distance from the wall, and the width of the bracket (the manufacturer of StoreFix.com slatwall recommends that you use a bracket that is at least 2 1/2"W).
Slatwall without metal inserts is considered "light duty" and will support approx. 20 lbs from one point.
For heavier loads we recommend slatwall with metal inserts.
Slatwall with metal inserts must be ordered from the factory. They can NOT be added later.
One cannot support heavy loads that are 10" - 16" from the wall -
And one cannot use hang rods with slatwall that does not have metal inserts.
Metal inserts are available on all products.
Materials (Substrates)
MDF or Medium Density Fiberboard has a core density of at least 48 lbs,
130 I . B.(Internal Bonding Strength) and a paint grade surface.
Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde emissions are rated at 3ppm or less.
This complies withHUD 24 cfr parts 3280 standards for particle board used in manufactured housing.
Fire Rating
Our slatwall products meet a CLASS C fire rating as determined
by standard ASTM E-4 twenty-five foot tunnel surface test method.
Class A slatwall is available as a special order. It is less expensive to
use metal slatwall instead of trying to make wood slatwall Class A
