Rectangular Tubing Faceout
This gridwall faceout clips to any gridwall wire panel and extends a 12" rectangular tubing arm straight out from the panel face. Garments hang face-forward from the arm tip — the face-out display position that shows the full front of a garment to shoppers at the point of browsing. Available in black, chrome, and white.

Face-Out Display on a Gridwall Panel
Side-hang garments on a gridwall panel show the shoulder and the hang of the piece. A face-out arm changes that. The 12" arm extends from the panel and holds the garment facing forward — the full front of the piece, including print, pattern, buttons, and construction detail, is visible to the shopper at browsing distance. That visibility difference is significant for any garment where the front design is the primary selling point.
Retailers use face-out arms at specific positions on a side-hang gridwall panel to highlight featured items, new arrivals, and hero products. The face-out piece reads as the store's recommendation within the surrounding side-hang run — no signage required. The position and the arm together communicate that this garment is the one to stop and look at.
Rectangular vs Square: Why Profile Matters on a Faceout
Two tubing profiles are common on gridwall faceouts — square and rectangular. Square tubing uses equal-dimension sides. Rectangular tubing is wider on the top and bottom than on the sides. That wider profile gives the arm a more substantial visual presence at the panel face — it reads as a more premium accessory choice than a square arm at the same length. The flat top surface of the rectangular profile also keeps hanger hooks seated more stably along the arm than a square or round alternative.
For stores where fixture presentation quality matters — boutiques, menswear stores, accessory retailers — the rectangular tubing faceout communicates more intentional design at the panel face than a basic square arm. The functional difference is minimal. The visual difference is real. For more on face-out display in retail, see the Wikipedia overview on visual merchandising.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this faceout work on slatwall panels too?
No. This faceout clips to gridwall wire panels only. The clip on the back wraps around a horizontal grid wire — it does not insert into a slatwall groove. For slatwall panels, the rectangular faceout options in the slatwall faceouts collection are the correct choice. The arm length, profile, and display function are the same. The mount type is the critical difference — match the accessory to the panel type in the store.
What is the difference between a rectangular and square tubing faceout on gridwall?
Both clip to gridwall wire and hold garments face-forward at the arm tip. The tubing cross-section is the difference. Rectangular tubing is wider on the top and bottom — a fuller, more substantial arm profile. Square tubing uses equal dimensions on all four sides — a lighter, more standard profile. Choose rectangular for a more premium visual presence at the gridwall face. Choose square when a lighter-weight arm suits the store's accessory aesthetic.
What length is this gridwall faceout?
This arm measures 12" — the standard face-out length for most retail garment and accessory display on gridwall panels. At 12", the arm gives hangers enough clearance from the panel face to hang freely without the garment touching the panel wire behind it. If a shorter or longer arm is needed, check the other faceout options in the gridwall faceouts collection.
