Suspension systems for aluminum and Plexiglas panels Instructions & advices for hanging
The suspension system consists of 1 (if the product is portrait mode
and 20x30 cm) or 2 (for all products) adhesive metal plates and two
self-adhesive foam pads.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM IS PLACED AND ANCHORAGE OF PHOTOBOXPERSONAL BEFORE
sent to the customer (the reason for this is the consistent position and
to allow the glue to dry for 24 hours so that the product is ready to
be hung up when unpacking).
Suspension Process (a tvåmansjobb depending on the size of the board):
You will need (not included):
- Spirit
- Pencil
-
Picture Hooks & nails (we would recommend that you use a picture
hook that is attached by two nails or a model that uses screws for our
main perspex panels. If you have any doubt about the suitability of
picture hooks on your wall type / weight on the board, we recommend that
you discuss this with a professional craftsman / tavelramare)
- A little assistance / an extra pair of hands if the board is too big to hold with one hand.
Steps:
1) Decide where you want to hang your painting, watching so that you have the right type of picture hooks that fit your wall.
2) Place the painting flat against the wall and mark carefully the
wall at the top right or left corner of the painting with a pencil (try
not to 'drift' around with the painting on the wall as metal hangers may
cause marks on the wall).
3) Place the board (be careful not to create marks on the edges of the board if you set it down on a hard surface).
4) Measure the inside 85mm in width and 70mm down from your selection
of the board's corners and makes one to mark on your wall here (the
second mark now shows the metal plate on the back of your painting
sitting).
5)
Place the picture hook (not included) to the lowest point of your
picture hook is just above the second selection, and attach the hook to
the wall (we would recommend that you use a picture hook that is
attached by two nails or a model that uses screws for our main plexiglass panels).
6) Hang your board carefully on this single picture hook and use a spirit level to ensure that the picture is hanging straight. Mark the wall with a pencil at the board's second corner.
7) Repeat steps 3, 4 & 5 to attach the other picture hook in the opposite corner.
8) Use an eraser and rub gently remove your marks on the wall.
9) Hang Your Painting.
10) Take a step back and enjoy!
CAUTION!
- Attach or do not use any wire or rope between the metal plates to
hang the painting on a single hook - metal plates are sharp and will cut
through the wire / rope.
- Variations in temperature and humidity may affect the adhesive on the suspension system. Hang in areas where humidity is high (as in the bathroom) and try not
to hang your painting above a radiator if possible, extreme changes in
temperature and humidity affect not only adhesive but also the photo
paper Your image is printed on.
-
To ensure consistency in the color of your painting in the years to
come, try to avoid to hang the painting in direct sunlight. Although
the photo paper PhotoBox use is suitable for archiving (Fuji Crystal
Archive or DPII paper) and color tested for over 75 years, you can
direct sunlight shorten lifespan.
