Installation

Please acknowledge!


Hanging a tableau takes a bit more time than hanging a single painting because a tableau consists of several parts and together forms one whole. That is also the beauty and the special thing about a tableau, it gives dynamic to your wall and the idea of ​​a gallery - of which you are the curator!


Tip


Take your time! Take a cup of tea or coffee, curators in a museum or gallery do the same and it pays off :-)


System

With our hanging system, all parts of your tableau hang straight, with 1.2 cm distance from the wall. With the sliding system you can place the artworks at the right distance from each other. A template paper is included with which you can easily mount the U-profile on your wall.


Follow the instructions below - it is not difficult.

The ideal height

At what height you hang the tableau is up to you and depends on the height of your walls.


But the ideal height for hanging a painting or tableau is approximately 145 cm high, measured from the floor to the center of the tableau.


This height is also used by museums for hanging the collection. And we use this ideal hight for the instruction of the installation.
