Next up we must consider the hanging fixings for your frame, this can depend on the size of the frame, the thickness of the frame, the weight of the framed artwork and the type of wall it will be hung on.
For smaller artworks which are framed in a standard frame we tend to use a metal fixing either side of the frame, with a heavy-duty nylon cord across the back. This can be a single hole or double hole D ring, or a triple hole strap hanger depending on the weight of the piece.
With larger and heavier framed pieces, we would recommend a triple hole strap hanger either side of the frame with no cord, or a heavy-duty brass bezel hanger attached to the two top corners of your frame.
Again, for larger and heavier artworks we offer a split batten sub frame, this doesn`t only offer an easy solution for the hanging process but also adds strength and support to the actual main frame. The split batten system makes use of an angled batten sub frame integrated into the main frame that will slot securely over an opposing angled batten affixed to the wall.
Split Batten frames are only suitable for deeper style frames with an internal depth of at least 30mm, but because they bear the majority of the weight and strengthen the outer frame, they allow us to use modern narrow profiles to frame larger works than usual.
Other hanging options would include chain fixings for picture rails and security fixings for public areas.
