rails Bare walls create an unattractive appearance and are associated with many in an office space. Pictures or photos will revive the boring interior and add a drop of warmth. However, many are afraid that the artistic composition will not fit into the situation of the room and in the future it will be necessary to change its position. There are mountings for frames and paintings that do not spoil the walls and are easily dismantled. We will discuss different methods of installation.

The classic way to

The easiest way to attach a picture is with a nail or a screw. But much depends on what kind of camps are in the room. Wood in this respect is an excellent material, it will easily withstand the heavy weight of the product. The house-master only needs a hammer and a nail, it is attached directly to the painting itself or the rope to which it is hung. For the illustration to hang straight, without a slope, the fastening elements should be located at the level of the upper edge of the picture or slightly higher. If you want to hang an art canvas at an angle, the nail is hammered into the wall slightly below its upper part.

However, modern apartments rarely have wooden walls, most often people live in houses built of bricks and concrete. The brick also copes well with the load, but it is a fragile material and can be easily broken if it's not careful. To avoid this, a cement slurry is first poured into the drilled hole and only then the selected part is attached.

Concrete is a fairly sturdy material, so it is recommended to make a hole in the wall using a drill or perforator. In the puncture, first insert the dowel, and then - the hook or screw.

Drywall is not very strong, only light linens or photo frames can be hung on such a wall. To prevent the picture from falling, the hole is strengthened with a special butterfly dowel, which has spacers that do not allow the product to slip.

This is a simple and cheap way of fixing, but not all owners are ready to sacrifice the smoothness of the walls. To minimize the number of holes in the walls, you can buy a so-called spider crochet. It allows you to attach any product without nails to the door, the wall, the interior partition.

Toly hooks and usual hooks

Toly hooks are sold in a hardware store at a small price. They are a plastic product with sharp nails of hardened steel that are in the base. A few strokes of the milk - and the product hangs on the wall. Originally they were designed for fastening on concrete and brick walls, but in practice they can be used for any surface. Hook-spider is easily dismantled, leaving behind 4 small punctures. A defect can be masked by rubbing a wall with a finger.

Products are available in several sizes, the smallest hook can withstand a load of 2 kg, and if the picture is massive, then you can buy a "spider" of large size. According to the manufacturers, it will cope with the load of 9 kg.

If you can not visit the store( for example, you decided to update the room design in the evening), you can hang a picture with a conventional hook. It must be bent in such a way that the loop turns out. The fastener is applied to the wall, and wallpaper is glued over it.

Wall Clasps Command

Looking for a way how to hang photo frames? Help come clasps on the adhesive tape, they can be used without the help of a drill and perforator. The products are easily removed and do not damage the surface of the wallpaper and walls. They are Velcro, covered with a protective film on top. In the kit there are 4 pieces, before use they need to be separated from each other. Then follow the instructions printed on the package:

• , connect the 2 Velcro together and separate the protective film from one of them;
• fix the sticky layer on the back side of the frame and press firmly;
• repeat these steps to fix the rest of the strips on the frame;
• remove the film from all the Velcro and attach the frame to the wall;
• press firmly and hold for 30 seconds.

To remove the fasteners, it is sufficient to push the bottom edge of the frame away from the wall, then pull the tab of the strip strictly vertically until the Velcro will completely detach.

You can hang a frame in this way quite quickly and conveniently, but there are some drawbacks. As the reviews show, the fasteners do not stick well to vinyl and non-woven wallpaper, but are firmly attached to paper covers. The price of the product is also quite high and is about 200 rudders. Fasteners withstand weight of 450 grams, therefore, they are not designed for fastening more massive patterns.

Various Velcro

You can hang a picture with a light weight with a double-sided adhesive tape. Mounting is suitable for any surface, but there is an important condition - the walls should be smooth and smooth. It is better to choose a paint tape on a fabric basis: it is more reliable. The principle of its use is about the same as sticky fasteners.

Secure the strip of adhesive tape around the perimeter of the back of the painting and separate the protective layer. Firmly press the canvas against the wall. This method is suitable for all walls, including gypsum plasterboard. However, after removing the adhesive tape, there is a danger that a piece of wall cover will also peel off with it.

The magazine "Miss Purity" advises: in order not to damage the walls during dismantling, use a small trick: tear off the adhesive tape at an angle of 90 degrees.

An alternative to sticky tape are stickers from the sewing shop. They are designed to fix the shoulder pads, pockets on clothes, but can be used for other purposes. One side of the tape is glued to the photo frame with glue, and the other part - on the wall. The method is convenient because you can change the location of the picture as many as you want. The number of stickers depends on the size of the canvas.

Liquid nails

This method allows you to reliably attach the artwork to the wall, but immediately it is worth noting that it will not work to change the location of the painting without damaging the surface.

If you decide that the canvas will hang in this place for many years, proceed according to the following algorithm.

1. Draw a pencil on the wall of the intended place of the product using the level.
2. Before using the adhesive, the surface of the wall and the pattern must be degreased.
3. Apply "Liquid nails" around the perimeter of the frame, there should be a gap of 5 cm between the points.
4. Glue the picture over the marked markings and press firmly. Hold for better fixation until the glue dries.

Council

Instead of "Liquid nails" you can use polymer glue, "Superglue".If you need to dismantle the picture, you need to remove it carefully. High probability that you will have to change the wallpaper or re-plaster the surface.

Original way to offer home craftsmen. You can hang the product not on the wall itself, but on the cork from under the bottle. It is carefully cut across to give even rounded parts 0.5-0.9 cm thick. They are glued to the wall, and then the screw is fixed.

Fastening on rails

In art galleries this method of placing pictures is often used. At home, on the ceiling itself or on the border of its connection with the wall, the rails are attached using special brackets. Beautiful looks and ceiling cornice. A small hook hangs into it, on which a transparent fishing line or other fastening rope is suspended. The method is convenient because you can move the pictures along the wall and adjust the height of their placement.
