Hanging up artwork can bring life and vibrancy to any room. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you hang your uniQstiQ artwork, which comes with a rigid frame on the back for versatile positioning on your wall.
-
Choose the ideal location: Find a suitable spot on your wall for your artwork, keeping in mind factors such as natural light, room layout, and surrounding decor.
-
Measure and mark: Once you've chosen the perfect location, measure the distance between the two anchor points on the rigid frame. Then, measure and mark the wall where you'll place the two anchors, ensuring they are level and evenly spaced.
-
Select the appropriate hardware: Based on the weight of your artwork, select wall anchors or toggle bolts that can support the load. It's crucial to use hardware rated for the weight of your piece to prevent damage or accidents.
-
Drill pilot holes: Carefully drill pilot holes at the marked spots on the wall, making sure not to drill deeper than necessary.
-
Install anchors or toggle bolts: Following the manufacturer's instructions, insert the anchors or toggle bolts into the pilot holes.
-
Secure the screws: Screw the provided screws into the anchors or toggle bolts, leaving the screw heads 3/16" to 1/4" out from the wall. This will allow them to fit into the channel on the back of the artwork.
-
Hang the artwork: Carefully align the channel on the rigid frame with the screw heads and slide the artwork into position. Gently press down to ensure the screws securely catch the frame's channel.
-
Test the installation: To ensure a secure fit, pull the top of the artwork away from the wall while keeping a hand underneath for support. If the artwork doesn't come off, the screw is set correctly. If it does come loose, adjust the screw by turning it out a bit more from the wall and try again.
With these simple steps, you'll have your uniQstiQ artwork hung securely and beautifully, enhancing your living space and adding a touch of modern sophistication to your home decor.
