The Click Rail Pro picture hanging system is the professional, heavy-duty version of the Click Rail. The maximum weight you can hang on the Click Rail Pro per metre is 50kg. In contrast the Click Rail allows you to hang 50kg per metre.
The hanging track’s ‘unobtrusiveness’ has the eye be drawn to your wall decorations. You can choose a rail that matches your wall colour or you can repaint the rail in the same colour as your wall, ceiling or cornice.
Mounting the Artiteq rail system is simple if you possess some handyman skills. After screwing the ‘Click and Connect’ clips (3 per metre) to your wall (use a chalk line or a laser level to get them in a straight line) you can click the rail onto the clips with a mallet.
The Click Rail Pro can be installed in two directions.
Installed flange facing upwards, if you have no cornice between your wall and your ceilingits greater height allows you to attach it closer to your ceiling than the Click Rail (it is 37.5mm high; the Click Rail is 25mm high). Thelength from the top of the Click Rail Pro to the centre of the ‘Click and Connect’ wall clip is 26mm. In comparison for the Click Rail it is 13mm. This extra rail height of 13mm allowsyou to install it closer to the ceiling.
Please bear in mind that there will always be a slight gap (2-3mm) between ceiling and rail because ceilings are not 100% level (flush). If the ceiling is not well installed there can even be a 10mm gap. You can overcome this is by squirting a general-purpose gap filler (e.g. No More Gaps) between ceiling and the top of the picture hanging track.
Installed flange facing downwards, the Click Rail Pro hides the metal sliders of the hanging wires behind the rail.
A further advantage: your walls remain pristine; you won’t have unsightly holes due to nails or screws which when removed will require repatching.Modern professional art galleries now use the Artiteq Click Rail Pro hanging system- it means less expenditure on labour for them.
Once you have mounted the picture hanging track twist the hanging wires into it. Moving or replacing a work of art is fast and easy. You can hang paintings, prints, posters, photos, diplomas and wall sculptures anywhere on your wall. Why? Firstly, because you can slide the hanging wires you twist into the rail horizontally along your wall. Secondly, because you can slide the hooks on your hanging wires up and down it which in turn allows you to hang your pictures at any height.
You can choose from a variety of hanging wires. We have Perlon (a type of nylon that looks like fishing line) and stainless-steel hangers in lengths from 1.5 metres up to 5 metres. The hanging wires come in two thicknesses: 1mm and 2mm. Perlon hangers give you an invisible look; stainless-steel hangers give you an industrial look and bear heavier weights. Which hooks you choose will depend on the weight of the object you wish to hang on your wall.
The hooks slide into the d-rings on the back of your picture. Best to use 2 hooks and hanging wires per picture for safety and stability.
