Gridwall Installation and Maintenance

Install gridwall panels to create a display area
By Denise Brown Gridwall fixtures are a great way to display a wide variety of products on your store’s walls. With a wide variety of gridwall shelves and accessories, you can customize a gridwall panel to display just about anything. You can’t beat gridwall fixtures for maintenance either. All you need to do to keep them looking like new is dust them periodically.
 

You basically have two options when it comes to gridwall. You can permanently attach it to walls using the appropriate screws and anchors. Or you can use gridwall as a portable display. For that you need to consider the types of “feet” you want to use to make the display stand upright. As you consider your installation options, you should also consider that:

1. The finish on gridwall panels can affect the overall style.

2. Gridwall looks best in an industrial or modern style décor.

3. Gridwall accessories need to have a similar finish to the gridwall panels.

Understand how a gridwall system works

Identify the items you plan to display on gridwall panels. You might draw a scale diagram to help you visualize your needs. Next, identify the accessories you need. Determine if the wall you plan to attach the gridwall to can carry the additional weight. It's important that the gridwall screws into studs that can bear the load.

Purchase gridwall installation hardware and install the gridwall

To attach gridwall to a wall, you need a collection of gridwall brackets along with the appropriate hand tools. You need to allow four brackets per panel. Make sure you also have screws that are long enough to set deep into the stud. If you are placing panels side by side, you need to purchase joiner clamps and place them 24 inches apart along gridwall seams.

Complete the installation by attaching gridwall accessories

Some accessories require a screwdriver to attach them to the gridwall, while others simply rest or hang from the gridwall. Place the accessories on the wall according to your plans. Load the accessories with merchandise.
