Picture Hanging System: why choose Track & Slide plates?

Choosing a picture hanging system is an essential step to showcase a work of art while ensuring its security. Whether it's a painting, a photograph, an engraving, or a valuable frame, the mounting method influences both the aesthetics and the preservation of the artwork.

While a simple hook or nail may suffice for classic decoration, collectors, art galleries, and museums prefer much more advanced solutions. Among these, Track & Slide plates offer an invisible, precise, and particularly reliable wall hanging system.

A painting is often much more than a simple decorative object. It can have significant artistic, sentimental, or financial value. Its installation therefore deserves special attention.

A professional hanging system allows you to:

• protect the artwork from falling;
• achieve perfectly straight alignment;
• facilitate adjustments during installation;
• preserve the wall and the frame;
• showcase the painting without visible fixings.

For art collectors, interior designers, and galleries, this is a real investment in the presentation of artworks.

There are several ways to hang a picture on the wall.

This is the most common method. It's suitable for lightweight frames but offers limited adjustment options and often requires multiple drillings to achieve perfect alignment.

Widely used in galleries and exhibition halls, picture rails make it easy to move paintings without making new holes in the wall. They are ideal when artworks are regularly moved. However, some installations show cables or rods, a detail that some collectors wish to avoid.

Track & Slide plates allow for a completely invisible hanging system. The artwork is fixed directly against the wall, with no visible cables or suspension.

Initially developed to meet the requirements of Europe's largest museums, they are now available to individuals, galleries, and art professionals.

In a museum, hanging artwork must meet several requirements:

• maximum security;
• absolute discretion;
• precise adjustment;
• perfect verticality;
• optimal preservation.

Track & Slide plates meet all these criteria thanks to their brass design and precise adjustment system.

The painting appears naturally suspended against the wall, with no visible mounting elements.

Compared to traditional systems, Track & Slide offers numerous advantages.

• Invisible fixing: no visible cables or hooks.
• Precise adjustment: simple adjustment of height and alignment.
• Great stability: secure holding of the artwork.
• Air circulation: a slight space between the wall and the frame promotes better preservation.
• Durable installation: manufactured from brass, a material known for its robustness.
• Refined aesthetics: all attention is focused on the artwork, never on its fixing system.

The Track & Slide system is suitable for many types of artworks:

• contemporary paintings;
• old master paintings;
• fine art photographs;
• engravings;
• framed drawings;
• gallery-displayed works;
• private collections.

It is suitable for both individuals and professionals who wish to benefit from a museum-quality hanging system.

Track & Slide doesn't just hang a picture on the wall. This system was designed to meet the demands of exhibition and conservation professionals.

By choosing Track & Slide mounting plates, you benefit from a hanging system that is:

• discreet;
• reliable;
• secure;
• durable;
• inspired by museum standards.

It's the ideal solution for displaying an artwork while protecting it and showcasing it to its full potential.
