Hanging a rug requires a specialized approach, especially for heavy or valuable pieces. For this reason, our expert team uses the right tools and techniques to securely mount your rug. We do this while preserving its integrity and creating a magnificent focal point for your room.
Why Choose Professional Rug Hanging?
Improperly hanging a rug can lead to serious, often irreversible damage. Therefore, a professional service is always the best choice.
To Prevent Structural Damage
Simply using nails or staples will create holes and also cause the rug to sag over time. This uneven tension can distort the weave and, eventually, even tear the rug’s foundation.
To Ensure Even Weight Distribution
A heavy wool or silk rug needs its weight distributed evenly. For this reason, our methods support the rug uniformly across its entire top edge, which prevents stress on any single point.
To Achieve a Clean, Professional Look
Our mounting systems are both strong and discreet. As a result, we create a clean, gallery-quality presentation where the rug appears to float on the wall with no distracting hardware.
To Guarantee Safety and Security
Finally, we ensure we securely fasten the rug to the wall. This gives you peace of mind that your valuable investment is safe and will not fall.
Our Proven, Conservation-Safe Rug Hanging Method
We use the preferred method of museums and textile conservators to prepare and hang your rug.
Ultimately, this method is the safest and most effective way to display a textile.
