You can hang a moving blanket on the wall using Command Hooks to avoid damaging your walls.
Hanging moving blankets on a wall can be a great way to quickly improve audio or video quality by reducing echo and reverberation in a room. A simple and non-damaging method involves using adhesive hooks designed for temporary hanging.
Using Command Hooks
Based on the provided reference, Command Hooks are a recommended method for hanging moving blankets on the wall.
Here's why they are effective and how to use them:
- Non-Damaging: Command Hooks are designed to adhere firmly but can be removed without leaving holes, marks, or sticky residue on most wall surfaces when the instructions are followed correctly. The reference explicitly states that this method "cannot damage your walls."
- Flexibility: These hooks "allow the moving blanket to be hung up and taken down depending on your needs," making it easy to adjust your setup or remove the blankets when not required.
Steps for Hanging with Command Hooks
- Prepare the Wall: Clean the area on the wall where you plan to place the hooks. Ensure it is dry.
- Prepare the Hook: Follow the instructions on the back of the Command Hooks packaging. This usually involves applying the adhesive strip to the hook correctly.
- Apply the Hook: Press the hook firmly onto the wall in the desired location for the amount of time specified in the instructions (typically 30 seconds).
- Wait: Allow the adhesive to bond properly before hanging anything on the hook. The packaging will specify the waiting time, often an hour.
- Hang the Blanket: Attach the moving blanket to the hooks. Depending on the weight of the blanket and the size/number of hooks, you may need multiple hooks across the top edge of the blanket to support its weight evenly. You might need to use clips or grommets on the blanket itself to interface with the hooks.
Using Command Hooks provides a balance between functionality and preservation of your wall's surface, making it a popular choice for temporary sound treatment or decoration with heavy fabrics like moving blankets.
