The Beauty of Hang Rails

The Beauty of Hang Rails

We often get asked what hang rails are, what they are for, and what they look like.

Our hang rails are two pieces of solid timber attached to the top and bottom of our wall maps. A string is attached to the top bar so that the map can be rolled and unrolled and hung easily on a hook(s) in the wall for best display purposes.

The weight of the solid timber is enough to keep the map hanging down smoothly. The benefit of hang rails is that they mean the maps are not rigid but easily transported, unlike a framed map. At the same time, they beautifully present the map.

I have attached some photos which give a good idea of what is offered.
