Spacewall Panels are Easy to
Attach |
Spacewall panels are easy to attach with the right
tools and our suggested techniques.
Our panels can be fitted to finished or unfinished walls with several types
of fasteners including |
 |
Drywall, sheet metal, and trim screws. (It's
important not to have the screw heads protruding into the channels because
this could inhibit the movement of hardware.) Countersunk flat-head screws
work best for this purpose. Attachment should always be made through the
channels and never through the slats. |
 |
Construction adhesive may be used as a
supplementary attachment medium to form a more secure bond with the wall, or
when two horizontal panels are butted together. Horizontal panels provide a
longer, more seamless appearance than vertical slatwall because they are
installed in pairs with the seam hidden in the channel where thepanels are
butted together.

Level All Panels Before
Installing |
 |
When installinghorizontal panels always level the
bottom panel first. Vertical panels
are designed to be fitted to walls by butting each panel against the
preceding one. The joining point between panels is more obvious than with
horizontal panels, so we suggest placing a piece of trim over the joint to
give it a more decorative appearance. Trim can also be inserted between
adjoining panels and painted with matching or contrasting colors for a more
dramatic effect. |

Additional Installation Methods |
|
Attaching with Screws
Attaching panels with the screws
and adhesives, butting the top and bottom edges in the channels.
 |
Attaching to Masonry
Attaching panels to masonry walls
using furring strips and screws.
|
|
Attaching
to Metal Studs
Attaching to metal studs with
screws, using no less than 16" centers between studs.
 |
Attaching to Wood Studs
Attaching panels to wood studs
with screws, using 16" centers between studs
