How to Hang Your Art Properly

Use Art Hanging Rails for Lightweight to Medium Artwork

For artwork that isn’t too heavy, hanging rails are a brilliant, flexible solution.

Why choose hanging rails?

• Tool-free changes: You can replace, rearrange, or rotate artworks without any tools.

• Wall-friendly: Thanks to the hook-and-cord system, your walls stay completely intact—no extra holes every time you want a new look.

• Clean and minimal: Cords and hooks can be subtle and nearly invisible.

• Flexible layouts: With a rail stopper, you can fix artworks precisely in place so they don’t slide or shift.

This system is ideal for people who love to update their displays or have a large collection they rotate throughout the year.

Use the Right Hanging Hardware for Heavier Frames

If you’re hanging heavier paintings or solid frames, proper hardware is essential for safety and stability.

What to use:

• Two hooks or screws: Using two instead of one prevents tilting and distributes weight more evenly.

• Strong hardware only: Avoid thin, weak nails. They can bend, loosen, or fail over time.

• Anchors for drywall: If you’re hanging on plasterboard, always use anchors or wall plugs to ensure the screws don’t tear out.

• Check the wall type: Brick, concrete, wood, and drywall all need different fasteners.

Using the right materials not only protects your artwork but also prevents wall damage or accidents.
