Picture Hanging Wires
Below you can find our wide range of wires designed to give you plenty of options for arranging your artwork with picture hanging system.
Perlon wires are the most popular way of hanging pictures on walls. They are made of 1mm or 2mm clear nylon and take up to 10kg (1mm) or 20kg (2mm). The top of the wire is sometimes called a glider. There are many types of gliders. They come in different shapes and sizes. Their job is simple; connect to the rail, slide along to where you need it and hold the weight of your artwork.
The wires connect to and disconnect from the system in two ways–either from the end of the rail (Hexagon/Solid Slider) or anywhere along with it (Twister). Perlon wires can be cut to size or coiled behind a picture. They can be safely stored if you do not need to use them all simultaneously.

The Twister wire has its name after the way it connect to the rail. Slide it in and twist it (turn it) by 90 degrees to lock it in place. It’s that simple.

The Solid Slider connects to the system from either end of rail or rail chain. If your rail has an end cap applied, there is no need to remove it to connect the wire. All ARTITEQ end caps have a small space inside to insert the wire and slide it along. If your rail doesn’t have an end cap, we advise leaving a 5mm gap for the purpose above. This wire prevents unauthorised people from removing it.
