Gallery Track Hanging System

A gallery track hanging system is for more than just art galleries. With the expert advice provided by the picture-hanging experts at Walker Display, you can install multiple tracks in your home or business to enhance the presentation of your art collection.

Why is a gallery track hanging system preferred over other picture hanging systems? The first and most important reason is that a gallery track hanging system creates the most visually appealing presentation by ensuring proper spacing between pieces and highlighting the most intriguing pieces at the center of a wall. A gallery track hanging system also represents the most secure way to present paintings, photographs, and other types of artwork. You do not have to deal with unsightly holes in a wall and take hours to rearrange a presentation.

What Factors Should I Consider for Installing a Gallery Track Hanging System?

Now that you understand the benefits of a gallery track hanging system let’s review what you should look for when buying the right system for your home, business, or nonprofit organization.

Weight Capacity

Another benefit delivered by a gallery track hanging system is it can hold several pieces of artwork on one track. However, you must know the weight capacity of every system under consideration. If you plan to hang several more prominent, heavier pieces, weight capacity comes into play as one of the essential buying factors.

Manufacturers typically list the weight capacity of a gallery track hanging system inside an information brochure that comes with the system.

Type of Material

The type of material used to construct the track determines the durability of the track. Although aluminum is attractive, the material is less strong than stainless steel. Aluminum is susceptible to developing rust if placed in high-humidity environments. Stainless steel gives you the strength to withstand constant stress, but it does not have the visual appeal of aluminum.

The choice of material to use for constructing a track depends on your priorities when displaying artwork.

Complexity of Installation

Although you do not need an engineering degree to install a gallery track hanging system, some systems require much more work than others. When you enlist the support of Walker Display to help you find the right gallery track hanging system for your home, our team of picture hanging experts describe the processes for installing different types of systems. If doing it yourself is not your thing, one of our picture-hanging specialists recommends a relatively easy installation system.

Blends with Interior Décor

Remember that your artwork is the focal point of a presentation, not the gallery track-hanging system that supports it. This means you should consider designs that complement the interior décor of the room or office where you plan to install the system. The key is to ensure the system’s color matches the color of a room or office. At Walker Display, we help clients find gallery track-hanging systems designed with neutral colors that ensure their art stands out, not the system’s design.
