The Proslat 88105 is designed with high-density cellular PVC, a material choice that offers better thermal stability and screw-holding strength than standard plastic alternatives. Tests show that the interlocking "J-track" design helps prevent the sagging often seen in traditional pegboards. This 8-foot by 4-foot section is built to handle heavy residential loads, provided the installation is anchored precisely into wall studs spaced 16 inches apart.
Specifications indicate that these extrusions use a dense internal matrix rather than a hollow core. This makes the panels more resistant to impacts and staining from common household liquids like oils or solvents. The design distributes weight across the entire wall assembly, which helps the system maintain its shape over time, even in environments that are not climate-controlled.
Practical Usage Considerations
- Installation accuracy is vital; using a laser level ensures the panels interlock correctly without creating gaps by the final row.
- Direct stud mounting is required for heavy items, as drywall anchors may not provide sufficient support for the system's capacity.
- The charcoal finish is professional in appearance, though it may show dust or minor surface marks more clearly than lighter colors.
The PVC core is engineered to resist denting and cracking, making it a reliable choice for active garages. While the trim components require a careful hand when cutting to avoid splintering, the hidden fastener system results in a clean, finished look once the project is complete. This unit provides a standard slat-gap that is compatible with most 3-inch hooks found on the market.
If you are looking for a system with a similar interlocking design but in a different color to match your workspace, consider the black finish options from Neatiease.
