Magnet Slat
Magnetic Textile Display System
Conservators love our magnetic slats for hanging textiles for display. These slats are not visible when installed and will not crush or damage artifacts. The magnet slat does not require the addition of Velcro® or other fasteners. Magnet slats consist of two parts, a wall-mounted aluminum angle with rare earth magnets, and a powdercoated steel strip. The mounting angle has a small lip at the bottom to keep the piece from sagging or drooping. The powdercoated steel strip is installed on the back of the textile via a sleeve or other method (not included). Slats typically come with pre-drilled holes.
