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 slatwall
recommends that you use a bracket that is at least 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.

130 I . B.(Internal Bonding Strength) and a paint grade surface.
