What types of retail fixtures does Megawall offer?
Megawall offers steel and aluminum slatwall systems, movable display fixtures, medium-duty and high-performance shelving, heavy-duty shelf brackets, NuPanel gondola retrofit components, trims, and custom fixture design. These products support wall displays, floor merchandising, end caps, and changing retail assortments. Options are available in multiple sizes, finishes, slat spacings, and configurations to suit different product categories.
What is the difference between steel and aluminum slatwall?
Steel slatwall is designed for unwavering strength and is well suited to heavier accessories and demanding retail displays. Aluminum slatwall offers a lightweight, cleanable solution with multiple spacing options and over 50% recycled content. Both systems use interlocking sections and can provide concealed-fastener appearances. The best choice depends on product weight, desired finish, display layout, and sustainability priorities.
Can Megawall fixtures be customized?
Yes. Megawall provides custom colors, lengths, finishes, shelf sizes, display configurations, and retail display engineering. Custom work can help align fixtures with a store’s layout, brand presentation, inventory dimensions, and merchandising objectives. The in-house design and fabrication resources allow the team to evaluate practical details such as accessory compatibility, display capacity, installation requirements, and efficient use of available selling space.
How much weight can aluminum slatwall hold?
Megawall aluminum slatwall is capable of holding over 50 pounds per linear foot when properly specified and installed. Actual capacity should be evaluated against the panel type, mounting condition, accessory selection, merchandise distribution, and overall display design. For bulky or unusually shaped products, heavy-duty shelf brackets or a custom engineered fixture solution may provide the appropriate support and presentation.
Are Megawall slatwall systems fire-code compliant?
Megawall aluminum slatwall systems are described as meeting fire codes, helping retailers choose display materials suited to commercial environments. Fire requirements can vary by jurisdiction, occupancy, building design, and installation method. Project teams should confirm applicable local code requirements with the authority having jurisdiction and incorporate the product details, mounting approach, and finish specifications needed for their particular retail space.
What is NuPanel used for?
NuPanel is used to update the appearance and functionality of standard gondola fixtures. Retrofit panels drop into existing 36-inch or 48-inch gondolas, while end cap and wing panels add useful merchandising surfaces. The modular aluminum system keeps gondola uprights accessible for shelves, header signs, and inserts. It is a practical option for refreshing store displays without replacing entire gondola runs.
Which shelving option is right for heavier merchandise?
High-performance shelving is the stronger option for heavier merchandise because it is formed and welded from heavy-gauge steel with a six-inch height. Medium-duty shelving has a three-inch height and provides a cost-effective choice for less bulky products. Selecting the right shelf also involves reviewing width, depth, merchandise distribution, bracket support, display traffic, and any custom dimensional requirements for the installation.
How do I start a custom retail fixture project?
Start by outlining the merchandise to display, available floor or wall space, desired fixture style, product weights, and any brand finish requirements. Megawall can then help evaluate steel or aluminum slatwall, shelving, movable displays, NuPanel components, and custom fabrication options. Clear measurements, product photos, fixture counts, and layout goals allow for a more productive design and engineering discussion.
