Hanging a Displate metal poster is a straightforward process designed for quick and easy installation, allowing you to showcase your artwork without damaging your walls. The unique magnetic mounting system makes it simple to display and even reposition your Displates.
Step-by-Step Displate Installation Guide
Mounting your Displate involves a few simple actions to ensure a secure and long-lasting display. Follow these steps to properly install your metal poster:
1. Prepare Your Wall Surface
Before anything else, ensuring your wall is clean and dry is crucial for optimal adhesion.
- Action: Take the cleaning wipe provided in your Displate package.
- Application: Clean the wall area where you intend to hang your Displate thoroughly.
- Drying: Allow the cleaned area to dry out completely. This prevents dust, grease, or moisture from interfering with the adhesive bond.
2. Apply the Protective Mounting Leaf
The protective leaf is the foundation of your Displate's magnetic mount, adhering directly to your wall.
- Preparation: Peel the back paper off the protective leaf. This will expose the adhesive side.
- Placement: Carefully stick the leaf on the wall in your desired position. Take a moment to ensure it's level if precise alignment is important for your display.
3. Ready the Mounting Magnet
The powerful magnet is the core component that holds your Displate securely in place.
- Preparation: Locate the magnet provided with your Displate.
- Action: Peel the foil off the back of the magnet. This reveals the adhesive that will attach it to the protective leaf.
4. Secure the Magnet to the Leaf
This step is critical for the stability of your Displate. A strong bond here ensures your artwork stays put.
- Placement: Stick the magnet in the middle of the protective leaf that is already on your wall.
- Adhesion: Press hard on the magnet for several seconds. Applying firm, consistent pressure helps to create a strong, lasting bond between the magnet and the protective leaf, which is essential for supporting the weight of your Displate.
5. Hang Your Displate
With the mounting system securely in place, it's time to display your artwork!
- Action: Carefully bring your Displate close to the installed magnet on the wall.
- Attachment: The powerful magnet will guide the Displate into place, allowing it to snap securely onto the magnet.
- Enjoy: Your Displate is now hung! Display Yourself!
Tips for a Perfect Displate Display
- Optimal Placement: Before applying the protective leaf, test out different locations on your wall to find the perfect spot.
- Multi-Displate Arrangements: If you're hanging multiple Displates, use a measuring tape or level to ensure consistent spacing and alignment for a gallery-quality look.
- Surface Suitability: Displates are designed for smooth, flat indoor surfaces. Avoid textured walls or wallpaper that might compromise adhesive strength.
