StoreWALL InstallStrip — Heavy Duty

The Heavy Duty InstallStrip is the hidden fastener system that makes StoreWALL panels strong, clean, and permanent. The strip fixes to your wall first — then the panel hooks over it and sits flush with no visible screws, no fastener heads, and no holes through the panel face. One InstallStrip per 1219mm panel, two per 2438mm panel.

Important: Heavy Duty InstallStrips are designed for Heavy Duty panels only. Do not use Standard Duty InstallStrips with HD panels — the profiles are different and the rated load capacity will not apply.

Why InstallStrips matter

The load ratings on Heavy Duty panels — 68kg at the surface, 37kg at 100mm — are only achieved when panels are installed using HD InstallStrips. Without them, load capacity drops by approximately 75%. InstallStrips spread the load across the full width of the panel rather than concentrating it at individual screw points, which is what makes the system genuinely strong rather than just appearing to be.

The hidden fastener design also means no screws showing through the panel face. The panel hooks over the strip and sits flush against the wall — clean, permanent, and easy to remove or reposition if you ever need to.

How many do I need?

• 1219mm panels — 1 InstallStrip per panel
• 2438mm panels — 2 InstallStrips per panel

If you're ordering a full carton of 4 × 1219mm panels, you need 4 InstallStrips. These are included in the Heavy Duty Get Started Kits — if you're buying panels separately, add the same quantity of InstallStrips to your order.

Installation

Fix the InstallStrip to your wall first — horizontally, at the height where the top edge of your first panel will sit. Each 1143mm strip can be snapped into 762mm or 381mm sections to work around obstacles or stud positions. For timber stud walls use 7g × 40mm screws; for brick or concrete use 5mm × 40mm nylon mushroom anchors. Once the strip is fixed, the panel hooks over it from the front and locks into place.

Full installation instructions and video guides are available on the Getting Started page.

Note: Do not use Standard Duty InstallStrips with Heavy Duty panels. The profiles are different — using the wrong strip will compromise the load rating and the panel fit.
