How Do You Hang Metal Prints?

Most metal prints are made to hang with very little hardware, and the right method comes down to the size and weight of the piece. Smaller formats go up like any framed photo, while larger prints benefit from anchored or cleat-style mounting to spread the load.

• Many metal prints ship with a float mount or hanging bracket already fixed to the back, so there is nothing extra to buy for standard sizes.
• The float mount holds the print a short distance off the wall, creating a modern floating look and a soft shadow that adds depth.
• For heavier large-format pieces, use wall anchors rated for the weight rather than relying on a single nail.
• A French cleat system is worth considering for very large prints because it distributes weight evenly and makes leveling far easier.
• No specialty tools are needed for a typical install, just a drill, a level, and hardware matched to your wall type.
