Gridwall is a good way to make the most of the wall space in your store. It’s also a good way to display products at a trade show or exhibit. If you decide to purchase gridwall for your business, you should be familiar with gridwall key terms. As you look at gridwall panels and all the accessories like faceouts, hooks and feet, you should know precisely what each means so you can buy the right products to set up your display space.

 

Gridwall panel

The gridwall panel is the basic unit of a gridwall display system. These panels are typically 2 by 6 feet. You can attach a gridwall panel to a wall or set it up as a freestanding unit.
Try: See a gridwall panel at Display Warehouse.

Base

Connect a panel of gridwall with a base to create a freestanding unit. This allows you to display items on both sides. Bases are good to use with gridwall panels to display items at trade shows and conventions. Because they are easy to connect to the gridwall, bases give you more freedom to create different display configurations as you change your merchandise.

Waterfall

A gridwall waterfall is an accessory that allows you to hang items. A waterfall usually has a number of small balls welded to the top of it to keep items properly spaced on the display. You might display clothing on hangers on a waterfall.
