Hardware and Hanging:
Always use use picture hangers for strength and
security. We give the proper hardware with your custom framing
order.For heavy artwork (including mirrors)
we suggest that you use "Floreat Hangers" (75 lb.) for artwork up to
150 lbs. If no wire is used, you should use 2 strap-hangers (or
D-rings). These can hang directly off of the floreat hangers in the
all, so weight is distributed equally.
Boats, Motor homes and Commercial sites should
consider using Security Hangers that anchors your art to the wall to
prevent slippage or theft.
Hang your pictures to create visual pleasure.
Don't forget to include lamps and/or sconces to enhance your
arrangement.
When hanging pictures above furniture, the rule of
thumb is between 6-8 inches. If not above furniture, then hang your
pictures at average eye-level.
Hang pictures according to scale. Support large
furniture with large wall hangings and small furniture with small
hangings to enhance the appearance and balance of your room.
Glass Info:
Different types of glass are suitable for varied applications. Where
the finished piece will hang may determine the type of glass that is
best for you.
REGULAR CLEAR - The least expensive choice but offers little
protection for your art.
REGULAR NON-GLARE - Regular glass that has been modified to reduce
the amount of glare reflected by the glass.
CONSERVATION CLEAR- This looks like regular glass but it filters out
97% of harmful UV rays which come from both natural and fluorescent
light sources.
CONSERVATION NON-GLARE - This is the same as conservation clear
glass but includes a non-glare finish.
