How are plates mounted on the wall?
Not always plates with which to decorate the wall, have special devices on the bottom to fix them on the wall.
Tip: Before you hang the plate on the wall, the method of fixing it is selected.
A good way out of the situation is to get a reliable glue and stick a loop of twine on the plate. It is better to use epoxy glue.
Such a composition, unlike super-glue, tightly glues twine on plates on a wooden wall and prevents it from falling onto the head. There are other ways to attach plates to the wall.
They can be:
- Ropes. To do this, use:
- products with a holey openwork edge;
- plates with neatly drilled holes with a conventional drill with a carbide drill, with which you can drill holes on the tile, to prevent the appearance of cracks on the plate.
- Metal clamps You can buy it ready, and to make the price less, make them yourself. A special eyelet is attached to the back of the clamps to fix it to the wall of the entire structure.
For the manufacture of staples you will need:
- rope or elastic band;
- paper clips, about 5 pieces.
Such a design is quickly created and fastens firmly to carnations-holders and plates that are already filled on the wall.
- Forged plate fasteners. It needs to be matched to the color of the existing plate. Typically, such structures are mounted along doorway, on both sides of a mirror or window.
- Shelving with ribbed narrow shelveson which plates can be reliably placed on a clay wall. Moreover, the surface of the shelves should be:
- or with ribbed cuts;
- or with glued thin slats.
With this design, each plate with its edge will go into the gash or in the crack between the racks, which will prevent them from falling off the shelf.
- Shelving having printed planks. In this case, the shelves have narrow shelves, and the products are prevented from falling by the slats stuffed transversely in the center of all the spans.
Such a holder for plates on the wall is selected:
- with a small height of the shelves - when the plate does not enter the height of the shelf;
- when you need to place many rows of plates on a small rack.
How to make plate frames on a wall
Square frames for products can be ordered in a special baguette workshop or made by yourself from small bars that are painted white. The reverse side of the frames is sealed with cardboard or plywood wrapped in colored wallpaper matching the tone of the selected interior.
Tip: For decoration, multi-patterned gift paper used for decorating gifts is well suited.
There are several ways to fix plates in such frames:
- A hole breaks through plywood or cardboard. There is also a hole on the back of the plate. Then:
- a strong wire is taken and threaded into the hole on the plate;
- scrolling the ends of the wire;
- both ends fit into the hole on plywood or cardboard;
- the ends of the wire are pulled apart so that they do not come out of the hole.
- It differs from the first in that a strong rope is used instead of wire. For this:
- the rope is threaded into the hole placed on the plate;
- the ends are tied in a knot;
- both ends are passed into the hole made on the rear wall of the frame;
- a loop is made from the ends of the rope to hang the entire frame plate structure.
- Use good glue such as “liquid nails”.
