For a clear understanding of weight capacity, please review our comparison chart. We display weight limits at three points: at the Panel Surface, 10cm from the Panel Surface, and 15cm from the Panel Surface.
Additionally, we differentiate between the weight capacity of 1219mm and 2438mm panels. Below are some examples, assuming installation is completed with InstallStrips:
Standard Duty Wall Panels
1219mm panel – Supports 56kg at the Panel Surface, 26kg at 10cm from the Panel Surface, and 22kg at 15cm from the Panel Surface.
2438mm panel – Supports 113kg at the Panel Surface, 52kg at 10cm from the Panel Surface, and 45kg at 15cm from the Panel Surface.
Heavy Duty Wall Panels
1219mm panel – Supports 68kg at the Panel Surface, 37kg at 10cm from the Panel Surface, and 31kg at 15cm from the Panel Surface.
Important Notes:
Each accessory has its own weight capacity, which should also be considered.
For optimal performance and safety, distribute accessories evenly across the panel to balance the weight load effectively.

No, it is not compulsory to install StoreWALL panels using InstallStrips, but it is highly recommended. InstallStrips provide a secure, load-bearing installation, ensuring the panels are firmly attached to the wall and capable of supporting heavy items. They also make installation easier, allow for panel removal or repositioning without damage, and help distribute weight evenly.
Note any weight capacity notes is based on your installation using Installstrips. You can read more about the benefits of using Installstrips here.
However, if you prefer, you can install StoreWALL panels directly using screws, but this method may not offer the same level of strength and flexibility.
Yes, StoreWALL can be installed on both a wooden and metal frame. This includes installing StoreWALL panels either directly or with Installstrips. It also includes plastered walls sitting over a metal frame.
If your home has a metal frame or metal studded wall rather than a wooden frame, you can install StoreWALL using the appropriate metal screws. What you need is a flat-head (not hex) self-tapping screw with the appropriate tip. Wafer flat like the image below is OK. This means the head will not protrude and impact the wall panel.
Some metal screws are called tek or tech screws. What is important is the tip. It needs to be beveled like in the images below. This is what will penetrate the metal stud. The 10G is the thickness. Metal studs are hollow so the attachment is at the surface only. Therefore a thicker screw is better.
This video explains the types of screws well that you can use for metal frames.
At this stage, we don’t sell screws for metal frames on our site, but you can find them at your local hardware store. These are 2 examples:
Technically yes, but as a method of securing them to the wall to hold the specified weight, then NO, this is not recommended.
Adhesives like liquid nails and other similar products (stronger ones) will certainly secure the panel to the wall but we cannot in any way guarantee that the panel will hold any weight.
On a plasterboard wall, glueing the panel to the plaster is simply glueing it to the outer paper layer.
We recommend that you use our Installstrips. If you don’t want to invest in installstrips, you can screw through the panels and into your wall.

Are StoreWALL hooks and accessories compatible with the Gladiator Gearwall and Geartrack panels?
Unfortunately due to the spacing of the grooves on the Gladiator Gearwall and Geartrack panels, StoreWALL accessories will not fit and lock in securely.
We have managed to access some limited stock of the selective Gladiator Hooks. You can find them on this eBay store.
Are StoreWALL accessories compatible with my TidyWall Wall Panels? Based on feedback from several customers, TidyWall panels use a similar groove spacing to StoreWALL Panels. This means that the spacing between grooves that will hold the accessory is the same at 75mm.
Therefore, you can confidently purchase StoreWALL accessories and use them on your TidyWall wall panels. Conversely, if you own StoreWALL wall panels, your TidyWall accessories will work on your panels.
StoreWALL Corner Trim can be used to frame your StoreWALL Installation and eliminate being able to view into the back of the wall panel when you have an exposed end.
We sell a Wide Corner Trim (in various colours) for this and it can be added to the external vertical ends of your wall. It can be secured to your wall with Velcro tabs or magnetic tape. We prefer this do glue as it allows you to add and remove the Corner Trim down the track should you need to.
At this stage, we do not offer a Trim for the Top or Bottom of your wall.
If you are covering an internal corner, you can either butt the two wall panel ends together to create your corner (lining the grooves up) or you can also use the Wide Trim to frame the ends.
You can read more about our Trims and how they can be used via this document.
