Wall Hanger
A wall hanger is a device affixed to a wall to support the weight of objects, freeing floor or furniture space. They are broadly categorized by the type of object they support and the method of attachment to the wall.
Materials
Wall hangers are constructed from a variety of materials, each suited to different weight capacities and aesthetic preferences:
- Metal: Steel, iron, brass, and aluminum are common for strength and durability, often used for heavier items like artwork, mirrors, or shelving. Coatings like powder coating or plating prevent rust and provide decorative finishes.
- Wood: Offers a classic aesthetic and is suitable for lighter to medium-weight items. Common wood types include oak, pine, and maple.
- Plastic: Lightweight and inexpensive, suitable for very light items and often used for temporary or decorative purposes.
- Composite Materials: Combinations of materials like metal and plastic can offer a balance of strength and cost-effectiveness.
Purpose & Function
The primary function of a wall hanger is to provide vertical support for an object, utilizing the structural integrity of the wall. They achieve this through:
- Weight Distribution: Distributing the object's weight across a larger area of the wall to prevent damage.
- Secure Attachment: Utilizing fasteners (screws, nails, anchors) appropriate for the wall type to prevent the object from falling.
- Aesthetic Display: Presenting objects in a visually appealing manner.
Usage Scenarios
Wall hangers are used in a wide variety of applications:
- Home Decor: Displaying artwork, photographs, mirrors, clocks, and decorative shelves.
- Storage: Hanging shelving units, cabinets, and organizational systems.
- Furniture Support: Supporting wall-mounted televisions, headboards, and other furniture items.
- Clothing & Accessories: Hanging coats, hats, bags, and jewelry.
- Commercial Displays: Showcasing products in retail environments.
Common Types
- Picture Hangers: Designed for framed artwork and photographs. Variations include:
- Single Point Hangers: Utilize a single nail or hook.
- Two-Point Hangers: Offer greater stability for larger or heavier frames.
- Wire Hangers: Utilize a wire stretched across two points.
- Coat Hooks: Individual hooks or multi-hook racks for hanging clothing and accessories.
- Shelf Brackets: Support shelving units. Available in various styles, materials, and weight capacities.
- TV Mounts: Specifically designed to securely support televisions of various sizes and weights. Types include:
- Fixed Mounts: Hold the TV close to the wall.
- Tilting Mounts: Allow for vertical adjustment.
- Full-Motion Mounts: Allow for both vertical and horizontal adjustment.
- Mirror Hangers: Designed to support the weight of mirrors, often with specialized clips or brackets.
