STAS art hanging systems: how do they work?
- An art hanging system is essentially a rail system. It all starts with an aluminum picture rail that can be mounted to either wall or ceiling.
- The matching cords (or steel cables) can be hooked into the rail at any desired spot.
- Subsequently, artwork can be hung from the patented STAS smartspring or STAS zipper. These picture hooks can be slid up and down the cord to the desired height.
