Hi guys! I'm Darren from Cambs in the UK.
I've recently spent a small future on eight signed & numbered, limited edition art prints & custom framing.
I want to hang them in my bedroom, but the walls are made of plasterboard. Each picture weighs no more than 5kg. My landlord has requested that I don't heavy duty fixings i.e. the metal rawlplugs that expand behind the plasterboard when tightened up, as they can be a nightmare to remove & will cause a lot of mess.
I went to my local art suppliers today & they surgested using two of these double hooks (made by a company called Rektangle) per picture, as one of them alone can hold 5kg:-
I decided to buy a pack of three & see how I got on hanging just the one pic. When I got home, I read on the back of the packet (to see if there were any specific instructions) & it said that I should really be using these plasterboard hooks:-
Now I'm really confused! To me the double hook does look more substantial that the plasterboard hook... HELP!
Any help would be very much appreciated,
Darren
