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.
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.
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.
Formaldehyde Formaldehyde emissions are rated at 3ppm or less. This complies with HUD 24 cfr parts 3280 standards for particle board used in manufactured housing.
