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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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).
-
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.
