Choose How to Hang Your Art
2
When the words hanging art are mentioned most
people think about a nail and hammer and
unsightly holes in the walls. This often leads
to weeks or months, sometimes years of
procrastination and the art works are still not
on the walls. Discovering what art hanging
options are suitable for your needs will help to
alleviate any anxiety around this task and make
sure your art is secure on the wall.

Direct Fixing
The most obvious way to hang a picture is direct
fixing, this involves nails, anchors and
drilling or hammering into the wall. For heavier
large pictures you will need to choose carefully
where you hang and drill into the stud to ensure
they are secure. For lighter weight pictures
you may be able to use adhesive picture tape and
stick on hooks. Both these methods require
accurate measuring and placement or you will end
up with unsightly marks or holes in the wall.

Picture Rail
Once upon a time houses were built with picture
rails. This common small rail was often used to
display photos of loved ones with no need for
extra hooks or nails in the wall. These little
ledges can still be found in some old English
style homes today. Like many things with time and
money the humble picture rail has been phased out
of modern homes and we are left with hammers,
nails and hooks to hang our beloved photos and
artworks. This difficult and time-consuming task
puts many people off displaying their precious
memories and art on the walls. Gallery Systems
have re designed the humble picture rail for
todays modern homes and lifestyle. A flexible
easy to use picture hanging system used across
the world in world class galleries, universities
and museums now available for homes across the
UK.

Like a traditional picture rail, the system
consists of a track, from the track hangers and
adjustable hooks are used to secure your artwork.
These adjustable hooks and hangers allow you to
move your artworks up and down and along the
wall with ease.
