How does a picture rail work?

A picture rail is a practical system designed to hang works of art (paintings, photos, posters) without damaging the walls. It rests on a rail fixed to the wall or ceiling and works thanks to a set of suspension wires and adjustable hooks.

How a picture rail works:

  1. The fixing rail :

    • The rail is attached to the wall or ceiling using clips or screws.
    • It serves as a solid base for hanging wires and distributing the weight of the works evenly.
  2. Suspension wires :

    • They are inserted or hung on the rail.
    • These wires can be made of steel, nylon or perlon (transparent, discreet).
    • They slide along the rail, allowing you to easily change the position of the works.
  3. Adjustable hooks :

    • The hooks are attached to the suspension wires.
    • They can be adjusted in height to align or reposition the works.
    • Some hooks can support light loads (3-5 kg), while others are designed for heavier works (up to 20-50 kg).
  4. Installation and flexibility :

    • Once installed, a picture rail allows you to add, remove or move works of art without having to drill or damage the wall.
    • It is ideal for exhibition spaces, galleries, museums or even home interiors.

Advantages of a picture rail:

  • Aesthetics : It makes hanging artwork look clean and professional.
  • Versatility : It adapts to different types of walls and rooms.
  • Effortless adjustments : Artworks can be repositioned without heavy intervention.
  • Wall Protection : No more need to make multiple holes or use adhesive fasteners that damage paint or plaster.

Common applications :

  • Professional spaces : art galleries, museums, offices.
  • Modern interiors : for flexible and elegant hangings in living rooms or bedrooms.

With this system, the picture rail offers a durable, practical and elegant solution to highlight your works of art.
