Affordable, efficient and stylish hanging systems!
The image below shows the elements needed to get started, all pieces are sold separately to allow you to accommodate your individual needs and can be search on our website by product code.
Start by drilling holes into the wall on which you will be displaying your artwork, allow for 3 holes per linear metre and position them at least 1cm from the ceiling. Insert the rawplug and use the screws to attach the brass securing clips to the wall, the picture rail will then click into place onto the clips and be held to the wall.
If you are connecting two rails on a wall use a straight connector to maintain a clean finish. It is also possible to connect them with a corner join using codes 81168 (white) and 81169 (Grey) which can be used on inner and outer corners if you are continuing your hanging system onto a second wall. The professional finish is then completed with the end caps (to be inserted about you have attached your slide hooks and cords).
When your rails are attached with desired length, simple slide in the number of hooks you require and attach the cord lengths using the loops at the top. The rail will support approximately 20kg per metre in total and the weight distribution possible on each cord will depend on the combination of cord and picture hook (see images below).
The Mini Hooks will support approximately 8kg and regular picture hooks approximately 10kg. For very large or heavy pictures we recommend using 2 cords and hooks to make sure the weight is evenly distributed and the artwork will hang straight.
The Gerstaecker studio hanging systems can be easily removed, reused and added to over time to meet your requirements.
