If you’re reading this, it could be because you’re looking for a better way to hang artwork in your home or office. Perhaps you’re improving your current home, or you’ve just moved to a new house – one thing’s for sure, adding a professional picture hanging system will improve both your life and the resale value of your property.
This type of system offers many benefits, including flexibility, durability and choice. For example, there are just three components – track, gallery system hangers and gallery system adjustable hooks.
The Gallery System Hangers
The track is easily fixed to the top of your wall using screws, minimising the impact on the plaster work – especially when compared with the old nail and hook method. With the track in place, the other components simply slide into place.
Once the track is mounted, hanging and adjusting artwork is so easy; it also enables you to hang pieces in those ‘difficult to reach’ spots, like stairways.
Stairways can be the perfect place to hang pictures and photographs as they generally benefit from plenty of natural light but no direct sunlight.Remember, direct sunlight can damage artwork and fade photographs.
The Gallery System Adjustable Hooks
The other advantage of hanging art in a stairway is the lack of furniture, allowing the focus to be on the artwork.
Gallery system hangers are available in clear tape or stainless steel cable. It’s worth remembering that your choice of hanger can affect the weight of the artwork you hang. For example, using clear tape, you can hold up to 7kg whereas with stainless steel cable, you can increase that to 14 or 15kg.
The hangers slide into the track and then you simply slide the gallery system adjustable hooks onto the hangers. It couldn’t be easier!
Gallery systems are used around the world in museums, public buildings and galleries. It’s only been in recent years that they have become available for home use and they are so worth the investment.
