Australians have gone renovation crazy!
Whether it’s prompted by the many TV reno shows, like The Block, or we’re
choosing to improve our existing homes rather than move, the effect is the
same. We just love doing up older homes.
One of the favourite types of home to
renovate is the traditional Queenslander, with its high ceilings, polished
timber floors, French doors and ornate fretwork. Many home-owners try and keep
these gorgeous properties as original as possible which means sourcing unusual
fittings and materials.
Picture Rail System
As a result, the old picture rail system
has made a welcome comeback, and Gallery System UK has all the accessories you
need to use it.
Picture rail systems featured extensively
in early European buildings and older homes in Australia. Traditionally moulded
from plaster, they can also be made in wood. The rail forms a lip over which
you hang a sturdy hook. Traditionally, these were made from solid brass and are
still available, as well as stainless steel hooks for a more modern look.
Professional picture hangers are then
attached to the hooks. These come in a couple of different designs, with either
on-trend stainless steel cable or clear tape for ‘invisible’ hanging. With the
hangers in place, it’s simply a case of adding your picture hooks. These slide
onto the hangers and may be a push-button or Allen key design.
Professional Picture Hangers
It takes just minutes to put the system in
place and then you’re ready to start hanging your favourite paintings, drawings
and photographs. With no need for a hammer or those annoying little nails that
always break, just create the space you need by moving the hangers left or
right.
There are many advantages to using apicture rail system, the biggest being the speed at which you can arrange – and
rearrange – your collection. There’s are no nails to worry about and,
consequently, no need to repair holes in the plaster.
