If you’ve had an acrylic, metal, or canvas print made, that’s the first step in having a stunning picture to display in your home. But simply having an amazing print isn’t enough; you also need to have a proper hanging system to ensure your print doesn’t just simply hang on the wall but instead adds to the aesthetic appeal of the image while ensuring it is safely secured to the wall surface.
Let’s explore the various hanging options for acrylic, metal, and canvas.
Acrylic Prints
The beauty of having your images made as prints under acrylic is that it gives your motifs a clean and unique appearance that’s sure to catch the eye of guests in your home. WhiteWall offers a variety of hanging systems for prints mounted under acrylic that enhances this modern look. For smaller pictures, hooks with spacers give you plenty of security for a stable wall hanging that looks great and hangs level. You can also opt for stainless steel spacers that attach through holes drilled in the corners of your acrylic print. These spacers give your image a modern and minimalistic look that adds to the decor of any room in the house.
Medium- and large-sized prints benefit from a more robust aluminum rail system that is capable of holding more weight. These rail systems are not visible from the front, giving your prints the illusion of floating 0.39” away from the wall. This hidden rail system is affixed to your print before shipment, so all you have to worry about is where to hang your beautiful photograph. This kind of application is a perfect solution for a focal point on a wall in a larger room in your home.

HD Metal Prints
When you have your images printed directly on metal, you want a hanging system that will enhance, not detract from, the beauty of the print. What’s more, when you have such a gorgeous substrate on which to display your photos, you want to be able to take it out of the box and immediately put it on your wall.
HD Metal Prints from WhiteWall do just that. The mounting hardware is attached to the aluminum panel before it’s shipped to you. The hardware isn’t some flimsy, cheap wire either - it’s a gallery-quality rail system that is highly stable and dependable. Once you mount your print to the wall, it won’t be going anywhere. And best of all, this type of mounting system acts as a spacer between your picture and the wall, making it appear as if it’s floating in front of the wall as opposed to just hanging from it.

Canvas Prints
Whether your canvas print is wrapped on a stretcher frame or set in a traditional frame, an integrated hanging system will ensure that the image hangs elegantly in a manner that compliments its beauty.
A canvas print on stretcher frame is ready to hang on the wall, right out of the box, and at no extra cost. You can even choose to place your canvas print within an additional frame, in which case high-strength metal corners help maintain rigidity for a secure wall mount with no warping or bending.
If you opt to have your image printed on canvas and placed in a traditional frame, WhiteWall has two tasteful options. Hamburg is a classic frame that is made of solid wood and is offered in profile widths of 0.79” or 1.57”. It looks great for images in portrait or landscape format that will support them both in terms of safely attaching it to the wall and in terms of increasing its aesthetic appeal.
WhiteWall also offers Basel, a floater frame that is well suited for modern and minimalistic images. The 0.28” shadow gap between the frame and the picture provides a visual separation between the two, giving the image the appearance of floating within the frame. It is available in profile widths of 0.59” or 1.22”, and, like frame Hamburg, accommodates different formats.
