MKE Blackwood 1219mm Laminated PVC Slatwall — Carton of 4
The MKE Blackwood panel is a premium laminated PVC slatwall panel with a realistic dark timber finish — the closest thing to real Blackwood you'll find in a wall panel built for garage use. The laminate surface is scratch-resistant and fully waterproof, and the compressed PVC core is significantly stronger than standard extruded slatwall panels.
This is the panel for garages where aesthetics matter as much as function — showroom-quality workshops, home bars, media rooms, and garage builds where the standard Weathered Grey or Brite White palette doesn't fit the vision. All StoreWALL CamLok accessories are compatible, so the full range of hooks, shelves, baskets, and bins work on these panels.
Sold as a carton of 4 panels. Fasteners and optional Slot Inserts available at checkout.

MKE vs StoreWALL Standard Duty — key differences
MKE panels are a different product category to StoreWALL's Standard and Heavy Duty panels. The key differences in practice:
- Construction: MKE uses compressed laminated PVC — denser and heavier than the solid extruded PVC used in SD and HD panels. The laminate decorative face is applied to the surface rather than running through the core.
- Installation: MKE panels are installed with face screws directly into studs — there are no InstallStrips for MKE. The screw heads are visible unless you add the optional Slot Inserts, which clip into the grooves to cover them with a matching Blackwood laminate strip.
- Finish: The Blackwood laminate finish is more refined than any extruded PVC colour — it genuinely looks like timber in a way that the Barnwood Grey or Whitewood panels don't attempt to replicate.
- Accessories: All StoreWALL CamLok accessories work on MKE panels — the 76mm groove pitch is identical. MKE-specific hooks are also available for a fully matched finish.
Slot Inserts — what they do and when to add them
Because MKE panels are installed with face screws, the screw heads are visible in the grooves after installation. The optional Slot Inserts are Blackwood laminate strips that clip into the grooves to cover the screws completely — giving the wall a seamless, screw-free finish that matches the panel surface.
At $23.80 for 19.5m of inserts, they cover a carton of 4 panels comfortably. If you're building a showroom-quality installation, the Slot Inserts are worth adding. If the wall is a functional workshop where aesthetics are secondary, they're optional.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use StoreWALL InstallStrips with MKE panels?
No. MKE panels are designed for face screw installation only. InstallStrips are engineered for StoreWALL's SD and HD panel profiles — they are not compatible with MKE.
Do StoreWALL hooks and shelves fit MKE panels?
Yes. All StoreWALL CamLok accessories fit MKE panels — the groove pitch is 76mm on-centre, identical to SD and HD panels. Every hook, shelf, basket, and bin in the StoreWALL range will clip in and lock with CamLok.
Is the Blackwood finish solid through the panel?
No. The Blackwood is a laminate surface applied to a compressed PVC core. A deep cut or gouge will expose the PVC substrate beneath. Handle with reasonable care during cutting and installation.
Is the Whitewood version available?
Yes — the MKE Whitewood 1219mm panel is available in the same carton of 4 format with the same specifications.
Can the panels be cut to length?
Yes — a circular saw, jigsaw, or multi-tool with a fine-tooth blade cuts cleanly through the laminated PVC. Cut edges will expose the PVC core — if edge finishing is important, plan cuts to keep them in less visible locations.
