Installing Slatwall Panels We recommend professional installation of Slatwall Panels, by a licensed and insured Commercial Contractor. However, if you chose to install panels yourself, following are some helpful tips. Always consult your local and regional building codes and obtain the proper permits to install slatwall panels. Preparation
Cutting Slatwall Panels Slatwall panels can be cut very easily. For straight cuts use a table saw and cut the panel face UP, or use a circular saw and cut the slatwall panel face DOWN. Use a sharp blade with 60-80 teeth. For irregular shaped cuts in slatwall panels, use a jig saw with a medium blade, approximatly 10 teeth per inch. Slatwall Installation Drill screws THROUGH the Slatwall grooves INTO the studs. It will be necessary to locate and mark the lateral position of the wall studs prior to installation. Wherever possible, vertical panel seams should end on a wall stud. Use a minimum of 24 screws, spaced evenly over each slatwall panel. For a more permanent installation, also use a general purpose panel adhesive, applied to the back of each slatwall panel. If your slatwall panel has aluminum extrusions (groove inserts), use 2 1/2" to 3", #6 or larger screws. It will be necessary to first pre-drill a pilot hole through the aluminum groove insert.
