Frequently asked questions

If so: with which paint and which pre-treatment? Yes, that's possible. For a beautiful finish, first clean the rail thoroughly and free of grease and then apply a thin strip of acrylic sealant. Sand the rail with very fine sandpaper and clean the rail thoroughly and free of grease. The rail can then be painted with any type of acrylic-based paint.

To start with the Perlon cords. You can safely make them shorter, but always by using the correct method. Use a sharp knife or NT Cutter and definitely no kitchen scissors. Before you know it, you are saddled with fluffy ends and then it is a drama to get the cord through the eye of the suspension hook. With steel wires you don't have to work with your own resources. With pliers or saws, you are then assured of fraying ends. And after that, installing the suspension hook on the...

Whether you order an ArtiTeq, Stas or Newly rail system, you always need a tool to be able to hang or mount it. In addition, the so-called mounting / mounting clips and screws are shown. Each brand has its own clips, on which the rails can be mounted and simply clicked. Generally speaking, you have to take into account 6 clips per 2 meter rail. However, we do not recommend spacing more than 40 cm. One clip is not the other yet. There are wall and ceiling clips, made of plastic...

What an annoyance when a work of art does not hang on the wire straight in relation to the wall. This is even more annoying if there are several frames hanging under each other on one thread, but in different positions relative to each other. GeckoTeq offers an effective solution for this, the “Wire Stabilizer”. With this handy part you keep the artwork vertically flush with the wall and leaning forward is a thing of the past. Click here

Use a flexible suspension system It is often thought that in spaces where there are many sloping walls, the use of a suspension system is not possible. Nothing is less true! The rail can be mounted on a sloping wall, for example in a stairwell, in the same way as with a straight ceiling. However, because the rail can slide downwards due to the weight of the frame, it must be retained on the side of the lowest point. This can be done by, for example, a wall or another rail. After...

In principle, steel wires will last forever. Hanging wires made from perlon may age. In normal indoor climates, this process is extremely slow (>20 years). At higher temperatures, higher levels of humidity or increased UV light, we recommend changing the wires every 10 years, as a precaution.

We have asked each manufacturer for advice and below their “story": How can I disassemble my Artiteq picture suspension system and reinstall it elsewhere?The rail sits quite firmly on the clips because it needs to be fixed properly and securely. The system is in principle intended for one-time installation. After dismantling all parts, it is important to carefully inspect all components and replace damaged parts. The clips and plugs must always be replaced with new ones after...

The Click&Connect wall clips must be attached to the wall at least every 40cm, in other words 6 clips per 2 meter rail. If you are mounting several rails next to each other, the last clip must always protrude half way on the right hand side of the rail you are working with, so that the last clip of the first rail becomes also the first clip of the second rail. You proceed further in this way and only the last rail is to be cut to size, on the right-hand side. Finally, the use...

Due to its popularity, we regularly get the question: 'what exactly is DiBond?' DiBond is a brand name of a type of aluminum composite material that is often used for photography, displays and signage. DiBond panels are composed of a polyethylene core sandwiched between two aluminum plates, making them light yet rigid and durable. The aluminum plates have a high-quality finish, which often makes them suitable for outdoor use. DiBond panels can be easily cut, milled, folded and...
