Have you noticed how art galleries, museums
and large corporate buildings all use gallery systems to hang their artwork?
They do this for three main reasons: speed, flexibility and functionality.
Can you imagine trying to hang an entire
art collection using hooks and nails? It would take forever, and you wouldn’t
want to change the display very often, not to mention the damage it would do to
the walls!
Gallery Systems
Using gallery systems is the simplest way
to hang paintings and photographs, and the good news is, they are now also
available for home and office use. That means you can present your artwork
collection in just the same way the top galleries do.
One of the most important parts of hanging
artwork is precision. A badly aligned or unevenly placed piece will stand out
like a sore thumb and detract from the whole display. When you use a gallery orphoto hanging system, you really can’t get it wrong.
The only part of the system you need to
ensure is properly positioned on the wall is the picture hanging track.
Usually, this is placed at the top of the wall, against the ceiling line. If
the ceiling and walls are straight, it shouldn’t be a problem. In an older
property, if the lines are uneven, be sure to use a ruler.
Photo Hanging System
Once the track is in place, it’s impossible
to get the rest wrong! The hangers slide onto the track, and the picture hooks
slide onto the hangers. To hang artwork, simply move the sliders and hooks.
After installing Gallery System UK, Jane
Caraffi and Tony Gill of Art on Cairncross, Maleny, said
it was “reliable, efficient and discreet, therefore allowing our clients
to concentrate on the art - which is exactly what we want. The Gallery System
has been so successful at our galleries, that we have recommended it to many of
our art collectors who have had it installed into their homes and all have been
more than happy with the results.”
