FAQs
How many slatwall panels do I need?
Ascertain the height and width of your selected area in meters.
Next, multiply these dimensions to find out your total square meterage requirement.
Depending on what size panel you wish to use divide your space as follows
2.4m panels, divide the total by 1.44;
1.2m panels, divide by 0.72
0.6m panels divide by 0.36.
Ensure you round up the resulting number to determine the quantity of panels required for installation.
It is recommended to allow 15% for cutting wastage on 2.4m panels
