Essential Installation Hardware for Your Art
Choosing the right hardware is crucial for safely hanging your art.
Here's my go-to list:
Lightweight Art: For lighter items, I recommend using single nail hangers.
Moderate Weight Art: For slightly heavier items, opt for double nail hangers.
Heavy Art Over 50lbs: For items over 50lbs, a French cleat system ensures secure mounting to a stud.
French Cleat Without Studs: When using a French cleat and no stud is available, I prefer these drywall anchors.
Avoiding Picture Wire: For large pieces, switch to D-rings instead of picture wire.
Choosing the right hardware ensures your art is securely and attractively displayed. For more tips and tricks on art installation, visit STL Art Installers.
