Wire Faceouts - Slatwall
This wire faceout for slatwall extends 11" from the panel in a modern wire construction — the lightest and most minimal profile in the modern accessories collection. A wire faceout has no tubing body. It is a single wire arm that mounts to the slatwall groove at one end and holds a hanger at the other. The result is a clean, almost invisible display arm that puts the merchandise — not the hardware — at the center of the wall display. Available in chrome and silver frost. Orders of modern accessories under $100 are subject to a $15 small order fee.

What Is a Wire Faceout and How Is It Different from a Tube Faceout?
A tube faceout — square or rectangular — has a hollow metal body you can see clearly at the slatwall face. The arm has width, height, and visible flat surfaces. A wire faceout is a single-strand wire arm. There is no body to see from the front — just a thin wire that disappears behind the hanging garment. Shoppers browsing garments on a wire faceout see less hardware and more merchandise. That distinction matters most in boutique and contemporary retail settings where a clean, minimal wall aesthetic is the goal.
The modern profile on this wire faceout slatwall version uses a refined wire form with a smoother finish than standard utility wire faceouts. It reads as a deliberate design choice rather than generic utility hardware — the same visual intent behind all the modern accessories in this collection.

When to Use a Wire Faceout vs a Tube Faceout
Tube faceouts suit stores where the faceout arm itself contributes to the visual identity. A chrome rectangular tube faceout in a contemporary boutique reads as a premium fixture choice. A raw steel rectangular tube faceout in an industrial store reads as a deliberate material selection. The arm is part of the display.
This wire faceout slatwall version works differently. The arm is meant to disappear. Use it when the garment should command all visual attention at the wall position — when the store's aesthetic calls for the slatwall panel to read as a clean backdrop with merchandise floating in front of it rather than mounted on visible hardware. Lightweight garments, fashion accessories, and contemporary apparel all display well on a wire faceout where the minimal arm keeps the focus on the product.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wire faceout and how does it work on slatwall?
A wire faceout is a single-wire arm that mounts into a standard slatwall groove at the wall end and holds a garment hanger at the tip. It works the same as any straight faceout — garments hang face-forward from the arm tip. The difference is the arm construction. Wire has no tubing body, so the arm is nearly invisible from the front behind the hanging garment. Slide the mount into any standard slatwall groove and load garments from the tip.
Can I hang heavy items on a wire faceout?
Wire faceouts are best suited for lightweight garments and accessories. Heavy coats, dense denim, and multi-piece garment groups push the wire arm downward over time. For heavier merchandise, the rectangular or square tube faceouts in this collection provide a stiffer arm that holds its horizontal position under heavier loads. Use the wire faceout for shirts, blouses, lightweight jackets, and accessories where arm deflection under the garment weight is not a concern.
Does this wire faceout fit my existing slatwall panels?
This wire faceout fits any standard slatwall panel using the industry-standard 3" on-center groove spacing — the most common groove format used across US retail slatwall panels. If the slatwall came from a standard US supplier, it almost certainly uses 3" groove spacing. Confirm only if the slatwall came from a non-standard or imported source.
What is the silver frost finish?
Silver frost is a brushed metallic finish with lower sheen than standard chrome. It suits stores where chrome reads as too bright or reflective against the surrounding fixtures. Both chrome and silver frost are available from the dropdown on this product.
