A cimaise is a practical system designed to hang works of art (paintings, photos, posters) without damaging the walls. It relies on a rail fixed to the wall or ceiling and operates with a set of suspension wires and adjustable hooks.

How a cimaise works:

1. The fixing rail:

   • The rail is attached to the wall or ceiling using clips or screws.
   • It provides a solid base for hanging the wires and evenly distributing the weight of the works.

2. The suspension wires:

   • They are inserted or hooked onto the rail.
   • These wires can be made of steel, nylon, or perlon (transparent, discreet).
   • They slide along the rail, allowing for easy adjustment of the position of the works.

3. The adjustable hooks:

   • The hooks are attached to the suspension wires.
   • They can be adjusted in height to align or reposition the works.
   • Some hooks can support light loads (3-5 kg), while others are designed for heavier works (up to 20-50 kg).

4. Installation and flexibility:

   • Once installed, a cimaise allows you to add, remove, or move works without having to drill or damage the wall.
   • It is ideal for exhibition spaces, galleries, museums, or even domestic interiors.

Advantages of a cimaise:

• Aesthetic: It provides a clean and professional way to hang works of art.
• Versatility: It adapts to different types of walls and rooms.
• Effortless adjustments: Works can be repositioned without heavy intervention.
• Wall protection: No need to make multiple holes or use adhesive fixtures that damage the paint or plaster.

Common applications:

• Professional spaces: art galleries, museums, offices.
• Modern interiors: for flexible and elegant hanging in living rooms or bedrooms.

With this system, a cimaise offers a durable, practical, and elegant solution to showcase your works of art.
