Ceiling Mounting: Picture Rails & Suspension Rails
Your walls are difficult to drill, fully glazed, or you want to hang items in the middle of a room? ceiling rail is the ideal technical solution. Fixed directly into the concrete slab or wood, these rails from renowned brands Artiteq I'm sorry, but "et" does not have a specific meaning on its own in French. It is a conjunction that means "and" when used to connect words or sentences. If you provide more context or text, I would be happy to help with the translation. Newly allow for perfect vertical hanging without touching the walls.
When to choose a ceiling mount ?
This system is preferred in 3 cases:
- Untouchable walls: If your walls are made of glass (display cases), very hard stone, or friable.
- Shop windows: To hang posters or double-sided poster holders (Poster Snap) where they are visible from both sides.
- Aesthetics: So that the rail is completely invisible, glued against an existing cornice.
Which ceiling rail to choose (Top Rail, Up Rail...) ?
Each model has its specificity:
- ? ? Artiteq Top Rail I'm sorry, but it seems like your message is incomplete. Could you please provide the text you would like me to translate from French to English? The thinnest. It screws directly flat under the ceiling. Ideal for being glued against a wooden or plaster cornice.
- ? ? Artiteq Up Rail I'm sorry, but it seems like your message is incomplete. Could you please provide the text you would like me to translate from French to English? Its rounded shape fills the corner between the wall and ceiling. It's perfect for concrete ceilings.
- The text "?" does not have a specific meaning. It is a symbol often used to represent a question or uncertainty. Shadowline I'm sorry, but it seems like your message is incomplete. Could you please provide the text you would like me to translate from French to English? The invisible rail for architecture. It is integrated *during* the construction of the false ceiling (plasterboard) to create a hollow joint.
Is it difficult to install on the ceiling ?
The technique is similar to wall mounting, but requires drilling vertically:
- Mark your reference points on the ceiling.
- Drill (concrete drill if solid slab) and anchor.
- Screw the rail directly (for the Top Rail) or using clips (for the Up Rail).
Tip: Have two people for the installation in order to hold the 2m rail in place while screwing.
What weight can a ceiling picture rail support ?
The standard for ceiling rails (Top Rail, Up Rail, Newly R40) is of 20 kg per linear meter. This is a sufficient capacity for the vast majority of paintings, mirrors, and display panels (Dibond, Plexiglass).
Can it be used for a store window display ?
Absolutely! This is the number one use for real estate and business professionals. Mounted on the ceiling of the storefront, the rail allows for hanging poster column displays or taut cables without having to drill into the floor.
