RETAIL SYSTEMS GUIDE
Optimise Display | Streamline Flow | Elevate Sales
Retail systems are essential for many businesses, and it’s important to invest in a system that not only fits your space, but is also tailored for your products. With product ranges and displays always changing, having a system that you can update, either through components or with accessories, can help you to stand out and keep up with trends.
Ranges Overview
Twin Slot Shelving
Twin Slot is a wall-mounted shelving, named as the uprights have two slots, in which components are fitted.
Available in a range of colours and styles, as well as various sizes, to suit your space.
Slatwall Shelving
Slatwall is a traditional retail system, often referring to wall-mounted panels.
While we also offer freestanding Slatwall, the below information will be mostly for wall panels, although some information may still be relevant i.e. accessories.
Grid Mesh Shelving
The main component of Grid Mesh is a mesh panel, on which accessories can be added.
Panels come in various sizes and can be either fitted to the wall or freestanding with legs.
Tubes & Clamps
Build a customised wall hanging display system with our high quality Tubes & Clamps components.
Connect chrome, black or white tubes with clamp fittings or joints to create a bespoke retail display.
Shelves / Components
Are the shelves/components adjustable?
Most retail systems offers adjustable shelves and/or components. Shelves on Twin Slot can be moved up along the uprights, and shelves on Slatwall and Grid Mesh can be moved around the panels.
What are the finishes available?
Twin Slot uprights and brackets are available in Chrome, Black, White or Silver. Grid Mesh main components and Tubes are available in Chrome, Black or White, and accessories for Slatwall, like brackets and arms, are available in predominantly Chrome.
Sizing
Does the system need to fit in a specific space?
Components for each shelving type come in a range of sizes, making it easier when you're looking to fit in a specific place, plus, you can trim Slatwall panels and Tubes if needed. Grid Mesh and Slatwall can also be orientated portrait or landscape, giving you more options.
Can I create a modular system?
For Twin Slot and Grid Mesh, we do offer kits, which include popular sizes and components. However, if you're looking to create something bespoke, all systems give you the option of looking at individual components, allowing you to build a tailor-made retail system.
Accessories
Which of the systems have accessories?
Most systems offer accessories, designed for use with that particular range. For example, you can add bookends to Twin Slot, and different types of arms to Slatwall and Grid Mesh.
Are accessories/components interchangeable?
Accessories/components are not interchangeable and can only be used within their respective product range e.g. you can't use a Grid Mesh arm on Slatwall. You can however, use a Slatwall accessories on both Slatwall panels and Slatwall furniture. See more information on individual products, and if you're unsure, please get in contact.
Installation
Which system is the easiest to install/assemble and how are they assembled?
Twin Slot and Grid Mesh are straightforward to install with just a few components and basic tools and fittings required. For Twin Slot, uprights need to be mounted onto the wall, on which the brackets and shelves are fitted. Wall-mounted Grid Mesh come with wall brackets on which to secure the panel. Slatwall and Tubes & Clamps are more complex to fit, and may require a professional, to ensure that they are secure.
What are the mounting options?
Twin Slot is exclusively wall-mounted. Grid Mesh and Slatwall are available in freestanding styles, and Grid Mesh also has mobile options. To set up Tubes & Clamps, the components are both wall and floor-mounted.
Application
Where can the retail systems be used?
Grid Mesh offers the greatest versatility, offering a range of accessories, used for both displays and storage. Like Slatwall, there are also freestanding units available. The other systems are more typically used for displays, with applications including, but not limited to, retailers, exhibitions or offices.
