Gallery Rod Hanging System

Are you tired of trying to repair the damage done to the walls in your home or office because of the holes left behind by picture nails and screws? Is it possible to create a stylish home art gallery without pounding nails and drilling screws into walls? If you answered yes to the first question, you should be pleased to know that a gallery rod hanging system from Walker Display may be the solution you need.

One of the most effective ways to avoid hammering nails and drilling screws into walls is to hang pictures by installing a gallery rod hanging system. At Walker Display, we are dedicated to helping you find the right system for your home, business, or nonprofit organization.

What is a Gallery Rod Hanging System?

The traditional French version of a gallery rod hanging system has been around in galleries for hundreds of years. A hanging rod works with both ceiling and wall-mounted picture rail systems. Art galleries and museums frequently install rod hanging systems to accommodate displays of heavier artwork and benefit from the ease of changing picture and photograph arrangements. Another reason for the popularity of gallery rod hanging systems is they present an elegant and contemporary appearance that enhances the ambiance of art galleries and museums.

Imagine how a gallery rod hanging system could enhance the ambiance of the room in your home where you display artwork?

A gallery rod hanging system also displays art at heights that make it difficult for thieves to reach. The typical height of hanging art on a wall is around six feet. Installing a gallery rod hanging system displays art that towers dozens of feet above the floor for a ceiling or wall-mounted system. 

What Factors Should I Consider for a Gallery Rod Hanging System?

Installing a gallery rod hanging system delivers several benefits you cannot enjoy by hanging pictures and photographs on nails and screws. The question is not whether you should install a gallery rod hanging system. Instead, the question should be, “What factors should I consider for a gallery rod hanging system? 

Type of Material

Do you prioritize strength or appearance when searching for the right rod-hanging system? Does the material you choose make a difference? 

Aluminum exudes a certain panache that enhances the visual appeal of an art display, but the material is not as strong as stainless steel due to its tendency to develop rust if exposed to humid environments. On the other hand, stainless steel provides you with more than enough stability, but it lacks visual appeal. Brass represents a material that checks off both boxes of strength and visual appeal, although brass has yet to emerge as a common material used for rod hanging systems for supply chain reasons.

Weight Capacity

The weight of a collection displayed on one rod hanging system should be a significant factor in your decision-making process. Too much weight placed on a gallery rod hanging system can cause it to rip apart the wall and ceiling materials.
