Framing & Hanging Art

I know some people around here are professionals so I'm asking for advice.

We have masonry walls in our new house and hanging stuff on them is a terrible experience, and I have six prints I want to put in a row on one of our walls, which is quite simply not going to happen if I have to drill six holes at even height spaced at regular intervals. I have attempted this. It was the worst. So I'm thinking of using this instead, the STAS Cliprail gallery system: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011AO1968

Has anybody else used this? Is it good? Does it do the job? Does it look like shit in real life? Is there a better version of the same kind of thing I can use instead?

To pay it forward, I am going to sincerely recommend www.americanframe.com for cheap custom framing for any dimensions of stuff you may have rolled up in tubes somewhere. It's super easy, I've used it for tons of stuff, especially poster prints and art for my kid's room.

Drilling into walls is indeed the worst but if you're not a total klutz with just measuring, how about something like this?

nb I am not a professional.

Those drywall hooks won't work in masonry. You basically have to use concrete anchors for everything and it's awful.

I had a similar rail system when a few years ago and tbh it looked cheap and crappy in the 1950s tract house I was living in.

yep you've got to use masonry screws in masonry. they do suck, but if you follow the directions on the package they will work.

When you say masonry, do you mean red brick, or is it ceramic/concrete brick in a neutral color ... or?

It will build character and make you feel more like a man. That was my experience, at any rate.

those cliprail things look like crap to me, but I'm a snob.

It's plaster over brick. I have to drill through the plaster into the brick and hope I can make a hole straight and deep enough for my masonry screws. That's not always possible in every spot I need to drill, hence the desire to just use something that only needs to be anchored once on each end.

How big are the prints? What are the frames made of?

Another option is to install some sort of panel that goes across the length of the area where you will be installing the work, and then hang the prints on the panel using your standard wood or drywall screws.

My walls are plaster over brick and those hooks work fine, for small/medium sized prints anyway (A3 + mount & frame).

If you paint those tracks the same color as your wall it could be the way to go! I think silver will look lame (geddit ahahahaha)

If it's your own house, and it's old enough to be brick and plaster, the real thing would be picture rail molding. It will look great and 'authentic' and just blend in better. And will cover the entire length of your wall/s so you can change your mind about where things go over the years. More work tho obvs. And you would possible want a pro to install it.

lame to be the first one to call you out on that pun
