Over the past few months, we have received countless enquiries from households that have purchased or inherited MDF Slatwall Wall Panels and are looking for the best Slatwall accessories.

This is what your typical MDF Slatwall looks like. The grooves are 100mm apart, there is usually a metal trim in the groove, and the wall panel is made from MDF.

MDF slatwalls are very cost-effective and are usually used by retail stores. The range of accessories designed for them is also cost-effective. The downside is that the range is designed for retail environments, not your household garage.

Slatwall Accessories

If you jump on eBay or search Slatwall Accessories, you will find options that look like this:

If you are going to be hanging small lightweight items like a dustpan, these hooks work fine. Search a little deeper and there are some shelves and some baskets.

Best Slatwall Accessories

Over 35 types of hooks from hanging your bike to hanging your garden blower.

Removing CamLok

To enable StoreWALL’s accessories to work on your MDF Slatwall, we only need to remove the CamLok. By removing the CamLok, the “L” shaped lip at the top of the accessory will fit into your MDF wall and support your stored items.

The end result looks like this:

Whilst you don’t get the extra security offered by CamLok, you are able to access a much deeper range. Just be a little extra careful removing your stored items from the accessory.

The StoreWALL Garage Gallery provides photos of many garages using StoreWALL Garage Wall Panels. It also offers many great examples of homes that have undertaken a garage makeover.

The below photos are of a garage makeover undertaken over a 12-month period by Mike in Brisbane. Mike used the Standard Duty range, combining various lengths and two colours of wall panels. You can see the Weathered Grey was used across the top and bottom of the wall, with the inner area in Brite White.

The combination coupled with some nice paint and a section of cupboards has delivered a great outcome for Mike and his garage. The garage also sports a custom floor cover which also combines the white, grey and black colours.

Having seen this combination is some photos from the US, I was sceptical about how effective it would be. However, when you look at Mike’s result, I think it looks fantastic. There is a lot of effort in delivering this finish but I really think it is worth it.
