I am a fan of Plastic Panel. Maybe because I don’t see it used often enough. It appears solid and stalwart, though the panel edge design exaggerates its visual thickness. Clean looking and easy to keep clean, I would think. Just remember that not all hook designs and gauges fit Plastic Panel – you must order fixtures for that surface specifically. Ask for samples from the manufacturer and check the fit. Click here for other “Best Practices” recommendations. If you are knowledgeable, please leave comments on the comparative benefits of Plastic Panel vs. Pegboard. I am sure cost is one difference. Strength another, depending upon relative thickness. On a related note, please SEE “Aluminum Fixture Strength & Cost” for discussion of the strength-based relative thickness requirements of Aluminum vs. Steel.
