Unique Features
Picture Rail consists of three parts: a rail, hook, and hanger (a combination of a hanger hook and wire). Pictures can be mounted on wall surfaces nondestructively with dedicated hangers.
Designed for any space where artworks go on walls,
from galleries and public buildings to offices, shops,
and residences.
Basic Construction of Picture Rail
Rails
Two basic rail types are available: one for “ceiling attachment” and one for “wall attachment.” Either type can be embedded in a ceiling or wall as a “prefabricated rail” or attached to an existing ceiling or wall as a “retrofitted rail.” Available in many variations to suit the size and weight of the artworks and type of Picture Rail mounting selected. Special mounting brackets should be used according to the assembly conditions.Hooks
The hooks come in many different designs. The “before-fitted” hook slides from the end of the rail before the end-cap is attached. The “after-fitted” hook is pushed into the rail groove after the rail is installed. The “fixed type” is fixed to the rail with the built-in screw on the hook body. The “hooked type” simply hooks to the rail. The “one-touch type” connects directly with the hanger. The “Carabiner-fitted type” has a drop-prevention function. Select the hook best suited to the Picture Rail you are installing.Hanger
Select the best type for the intended usage and the weight of the article to be hung, from heavy to lightweight. Two mounting methods are available: “standard type” and “one-touch type.”
