The installation method you choose plays a major role in the strength, stability, and appearance of your garage storage system. StoreWALL slatwall panels can be installed two ways: with InstallStrips or direct-to-wall xxxx mounting—and each method offers unique advantages depending on your needs.
-
InstallStrips (Recommended for Heavy Duty and Standard Duty panels): This hidden fastener system offers the strongest and cleanest install. InstallStrips anchor directly into studs, distributing weight evenly and allowing each panel to support upwards of 250 lbs per square foot. They also eliminate visible screws for a sleek, seamless finish.
-
xxxx -Through Installation (Common for Basic Duty panels): Panels are attached directly to the wall surface with screws visible through the face. While still secure, this method offers a lower overall weight capacity and is best for lighter-duty storage.
No matter the method, proper alignment with wall studs is essential to maximize strength. Pairing the right installation approach with the right wall panel grade ensures your StoreWALL system performs safely and reliably—especially when storing heavy items like tools, totes, or sports gear.
