Rinaldin provides various systems for hanging frames.
These are systems which are particularly suitable for galleries and expositions where the frames
have to be frequently replaced.
The systems are produced by the Dutch manufacturer Artiteq.
This is the "Click Rail" system.
The following elements are necessary to install the "Click Rail" system:
The white opaque aluminum rail which can be painted the same colour of the wall...
Or, alternatively... the aluminum rail in its natural colour.
Both rails are available in 2 or 3 meter lengths.
The "connectors" are needed to fix the rail to the wall.
They have to be applied with about 40 cm distance between them.
They also keep the two rails joined to each other.
The connectors are available in two versions: for regular walls and for irregular walls.
The screws with the respective plastic rawplug, are needed to fix the connectors to the wall.
Like this..
The caps have to be applied on the extremities of the rail and are available in either white
or light gray, depending on the colour of the rail.
The angular connectors are needed in case you want to join the two perpendicular rails
one to another, like this one...
This instead is the "Click Rail Pro" system.
The differences between the "Click Rail" and the "Click Rail Pro" systems are:
1) The Click Rail is 25 mm wide while the Click Rail Pro is 37 mm.
2) The "Click Rail" can hold a maximum weight of 20 Kg for every meter while the "Click
Rail Pro" can hold a maximum weight of 50 Kg.
3) The "Click Rail Pro", unlike the "Click Rail", can be installed in two different ways.
There's the advantage of hiding the small metal block with the type A installment whilst
aligning the rail to the ceiling is easier with the type B installment.
To install the "Click Rail Pro" system the following elements are necessary:
The white opaque aluminum rail which can be painted the same colour of the wall.
The rail is available in 2 or 3 meter lengths.
The connectors have to be applied to the wall with 40 cm distance between each other and
are needed to fix the rail.
They're also needed to join the rails one to another.
The screws, with the respective plastic rawplug, are needed to fix the connectors to the wall,
like this...
The caps have to be applied to the extremity of the rail.
The angular connectors are needed in case the perpendicular rails have to be joined
one to another, like this one..
This is the "Top Rail" system which has to be installed on the ceiling.
You just need the screws with their respective rawplugs to install the "Top Rail" system.
Vertical wires have to be applied to any type of rail. These wires are where the hooks which
keep the frames hanging are fixed.
3 types of wires are available:
Perlon transparent wire. It has a 2 mm diameter and holds a maximum
of 20 Kg
White coloured hard wire in steel. Also this has a 2 mm diameter and holds a
maximum of 20 Kg
Wire made up of metallic filament wires all intertwined
It has a 1,8 diameter and holds a maximum of 15 Kg (mancava)
All 3 wires are provided with a small block called "Twister".
The block can be placed at any point on the rail.
After its insertion it has to be rotated to keep it fixed to the rail.
Apart from the wires with the Twister block there's a perlon wire with a hexagonal block
which can be used with all the wires.
This wire, unlike the wires with the Twister block, has to be placed at the extremity of
the rail.
It's 2 mm thick and can hold a maximum weight of 15 Kg.
Finally there's the perlon wire with the loop which can be hung to a simple nail.
The perlon wire is also available in 100 meter coils.
You need a special block to fix it to the rail and it has to be fixed at the extremity
of the wire.
You just need to tighten the screws to fix the wire to the block.
The block then has to be placed inside the rail.
This block is suitable for all the rails.
A tool called "Twister Remote" is available which facilitates the insertion of the perlon
wires which have the Twister block.
Its made up of a cylindrical steel rod of 1 meter with a 6 mm diameter.
At one extremity it has a round block which has an opening.
The perlon wire has to be inserted in the opening like this....
Then the instrument is raised towards the rail and rotated half a turn so that the Twister
block remains blocked in the rail.
These are the hooks which are attached to the vertical wires.
There are various types of hooks:
JS32 hook- It's a hook suitable for heavy frames, up to 7 Kg.
It's mostly suitable for the perlon wire but can also be applied to other wires.
It's regulated by the screw on the back.
JS33 hook -- It's the smallest hook and therefore the least obvious.
It's particularly suitable for the perlon wire but can also be applied to other wires.
JS39 hook - It's in the shape of a cone which, like the previous hooks, is most suitable
for perlon wires. Up to 5 kg.
JS40 -- It's a hook which is automatically blocked by the weight of the frame, up to
15 kg. It's suitable for both perlon wires as for steel wires.
JS 401 hook -- It's like the JS40 with an extra closing mechanism to avoid the frame
detaching itself.
All the products you need to hang frames can be found in the Rinaldin catalogue and on
