Beautifying your homes is a great way to create an inviting yet calm environment not just for you but for your visitors as well. With clean, chic, and cozy interiors that display a very good artistic taste, you’ll always be able to appreciate going from room to room day by day. Nevertheless, one of the best ways to have a house that’s sentimental to bring out good memories or just give it a piece of art is through hanging pictures. Sure, it’s easy to hang them if you have wood and cement for the frames in your houses, but what about hanging them on steel frames?
It might be confusing how you can have a resolution for this seemingly petty problem. But if you really want to give your house a good touch of art, then you’re caught up with searching for ways to do it. Yet, lessen that stress away – here, we are about to give you several ways to make those worries go away.
Adhesive hooks
Adhesive hooks are the most efficient yet convenient item to get that picture hung without any drilling or hassle. They are made from patches of velcro strips that fit and stick perfectly to your steel frames and have that picture stuck sturdy and strong.
Adhesive hooks are commonly found in hardware stores and can be bought just a little pricey compared to nails or screws. Nonetheless, you just have to remove the patch cover, stick it on your wall, and hang that frame through the hooks. Just have to make sure the hook is placed perfectly vertical to the wall, so your frames can be put straight, preventing them from being crooked when hung. Yet, this is only applicable for picture frames that aren’t heavy – considering the weight of the picture is necessary on what type of adhesive hooks you buy that gives it an ample amount of hold.
Nail it
Nailing your pictures to the wall is not convenient, but it serves well at hanging those pictures without worrying about them getting dropped. You just need a handy driller for this and make sure the nails coincide with the size of the drilled hole you’re going to make.
First, you need to measure the size of your picture frame and draw a straight line on the steel wall where you want your picture to be hung. After then, draw dots on the left, middle, and right side of the straight line – that’s where your drill should be aimed. After which, drill a hole on the points drawn, but make sure the circumference of your drill is the same as the circumference of the nails you’re about to attach. If already certain, drill the holes, put the nails on them, and then hang your picture frame right after.
Always remember that your nails should perfectly fit the holes, to avoid your pictures from swaying. Nevertheless, this is also applicable to heavy picture frames that cannot be supported by mere adhesive only.
Fine point screws
If you’re hanging heavier pictures but still want to compliment that steel frame design, fine point screws can also do the trick. All you have to do is fix the screws into the stud and make sure to secure it properly. Also, don’t forget to double check the weight capacity first to avoid any hassle.
That’s it! Care to hang that beautiful frame with fine art or wonderful memories on your steel wall?
