Is it possible to hang pictures without pounding nails or screws into a wall? Although nails and screws secure pictures on most wall surfaces, they leave behind holes when the inevitable day arrives to remove the artwork from a wall. The best option for hanging pictures is a gallery track picture hanging system.
Found in art galleries and other public spaces where artwork produces a visually-appealing appearance, gallery track picture-hanging systems have become a popular and affordable art-hanging option inside homes, businesses, and nonprofit organizations. You can install a track hanging system on a wall or ceiling and at the point where a wall meets a ceiling. The best part is you can change presentations without patching holes. When you receive support from the picture-hanging system experts at Walker Display, you have all the tools and knowledge you need to install several tracks for presenting your art collection.
As with other types of picture-hanging systems, a gallery track picture-hanging system presents the most balanced appearance of artwork because of the proper spacing between pieces. Pictures attached to a track increase the security of your collection by making it difficult, even impossible, for a thief to walk away with one or more pieces of art. In addition to leaving behind unsightly holes, hanging pictures on nails or screws takes you much longer to change presentations. With a gallery track picture system, you simply detach hooks and move your artwork to different locations on a wall or ceiling.
Before you receive support from our team of picture-hanging specialists, review the following factors when shopping for a gallery track picture-hanging system.
Weight Capacity
Although tracks can support much more weight than other types of hanging devices, you still must consider the weight capacity of each system under considerations. If you plan to hang several heavy pictures, weight capacity becomes one of, if not the most important buying factors. Under specifications, you can find the weight capacity of a gallery track picture hanging system in the owner’s manual.
Installation
Some gallery track picture-hanging systems can be challenging to install, especially if you plan to install a picture-hanging system on a ceiling. Searching for a system that does not require the greatest do-it-yourself skills makes sense, but remember that Walker Display is here to help you install one of our gallery track picture hanging systems.
Material
If you plan to install a gallery track picture hanging system in a high-humidity environment, consider alloy or stainless steel as the best option for the material. Although it costs more to install, an alloy steel gallery track picture hanging system is durable enough to withstand years of supporting artwork of all shapes, weights, and sizes. Aluminum presents a visually appealing appearance, but the material needs to hold up better under considerable weight.
Installing a gallery track picture hanging system demonstrates that you are serious about creating the most visually-appealing art display. It also is the most effective way to present a collection that contains many different types of pieces.
