Hang a wall once, then change what is on it as often as you like without putting another hole in the plaster.
What it involves
A rail system carries the weight along the top of the wall and drops adjustable cables to each piece. Once the track is up, moving a work is a matter of sliding it along and adjusting the height. No patching, no repainting, no measuring twice to get a row level.
Studio9Art supplies and installs Hangtrack rail systems for homes, offices and galleries, along with display plinths where work needs to stand rather than hang. For anyone who rotates what is on the wall, or who rents, it solves the problem permanently.
It also solves the heavy piece problem. Weight is spread along the track rather than concentrated at one fixing, which matters on plasterboard.
How it runs
Where the track runs, what it needs to carry, and how the pieces are going to sit as a group rather than one at a time.
Fixed along the top of the wall so the run is level and the load is spread rather than hanging off single points.
Cables and hooks set to each piece, then adjusted by hand until the row reads properly from where people actually stand.
Questions
It sits tight against the top of the wall and reads as a slim line. In most rooms people stop noticing it within a day, and it is considerably less visible than a wall of patched holes.
Yes. Load is carried along the track and shared between cables rather than concentrated at one fixing, which is exactly why galleries use it.
It is one of the better reasons to use it. One properly made installation replaces a hole for every piece, every time you move something.
