Picture Hanging Gallery System

The days of pounding nails and driving studs into walls have given way to a much better way to display works of art.

If you are considering displaying art in your home, business, or public venue, consider installing a picture-hanging gallery system to maximize the benefits of presenting a visually stunning collection. For example, installing a picture-hanging gallery system consisting of stainless steel cables can support a weight of 300 pounds per track.

Picture hanging gallery systems come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and different weight capacities to account for the pieces that are part of an art display. The picture-hanging specialists at Walker Display can help you find the right picture-hanging gallery system for your home, business, or nonprofit organization.

What Are the Advantages of Installing an Art Gallery Wall Hanging System?

Unless you plan to hang just a few pictures, a picture-hanging gallery system is the right option for presenting your next display. One of the most significant advantages of installing a picture-hanging gallery system concerns organizing dozens of paintings and photographs in one centralized location.

Let’s review the other advantages of installing a picture-hanging gallery system.

Damage-Free Walls

Pounding nails or driving screws into wall studs create holes that must be filled. However, filling holes in a wall does not erase the unsightly appearance of the wall. Another issue is if you hang a picture that nails or screws cannot support, the picture becomes displaced and pulls out wall materials as it falls to the floor. Holes that develop on walls collect moisture, which can produce unhealthy mold.

Enhanced Security

Most paintings, photographs, and other types of artwork hang at eye level, which measures around six feet from the floor. Hanging art the traditional way makes it easy to steal the art by simply unhooking a painting from a wire or an object. With a picture-hanging gallery system, you present art on a track equipped with a theft-prevention security lock. Even better, you can display art from a picture-hanging gallery system raised more than six feet from the floor.

Optimize Natural Illumination

Illumination, especially from the sun, enhances the ambiance of a room where art is displayed. You can optimize natural illumination by installing one or more skylights in a room that receives steady sunlight throughout the day and the year. Sunlight does a great job of highlighting certain design features and the colors that reflect a piece of art. If you opt for more artificial light sources, LED lights convert 80 percent of the energy generated into illumination.

Create Proper Spacing

One of the keys to displaying art involves creating the proper space between pieces. Although using a ruler or tape measurer helps you space individual pieces of artwork, a picture hanging gallery system makes it much easier to calibrate a consistent distance between painting and photographs. You position each piece of art on a track that automatically achieves the optimal spacing.

Flexible Presentations

In addition to creating unsightly holes, hanging pictures on nails and screws limits your creativity when displaying art. On the other hand, installing a picture-hanging gallery system allows you to replace and reposition artwork whenever you feel creative. You can change art presentations as often as you want, which makes a picture-hanging gallery system perfect for an art lover who frequently entertains guests.
