The Artiteq Top Rail is a discreet ceiling-mounted picture hanging system designed for interiors where a wall-mounted rail is not practical or where a subtle installation is preferred. It allows you to display and reposition paintings, framed photographs and wall decorations without repeatedly drilling new holes in your walls.
Its slim profile makes it suitable for homes, offices, galleries, showrooms and commercial interiors. For suitable suspended ceiling installations, the rail can be attached to the wooden side lath of the ceiling system, allowing it to blend discreetly into the surrounding interior.
The rail measures 200 cm long, 7 mm high and 14.3 mm deep, with a maximum load capacity of 20 kg per running metre. It is available in black, aluminium and white.
Installation tip: The rail can be cut to the required length using a suitable hacksaw or grinder. Always ensure the ceiling structure and fixing points are appropriate for the intended load.
A Discreet Ceiling-Mounted Picture Hanging System
Top Rail provides an alternative to traditional wall-mounted picture rails. Once installed, compatible hanging wires and hooks can be repositioned along the rail, making it easier to adjust artwork layouts as your needs change.
This flexibility is useful in environments where artwork and displays are updated regularly. Rather than creating new wall holes whenever a picture moves, you can reposition compatible suspension components along the installed rail.
Suitable Applications for Top Rail
The ceiling-mounted design is useful in a variety of settings:
- Homes: Display framed pictures and artwork while keeping walls free from prominent hanging rails.
- Art galleries: Adjust artwork arrangements as exhibitions and displays change.
- Offices and meeting rooms: Create flexible displays for framed artwork, photography and visual materials.
- Showrooms and commercial interiors: Rearrange displays without repeatedly creating new wall fixings.
- Suitable suspended ceilings: Integrate the rail discreetly where the ceiling construction and fixing points permit installation.
The suitability of any installation depends on the ceiling construction, fixings and the weight of the complete hanging arrangement.
