Your CanvasPeople prints are more than just decorations - they're your favorite memories brought to life. To ensure your prints look their best for years to come, proper hanging and care are essential. Whether you're preparing to hang your canvas or maintaining it in pristine condition, these tips will guide you every step of the way.
How to Hang Your Canvas Like a Pro
Step 1: Choose the Perfect Spot
Select a wall with enough space to let your canvas stand out.
Avoid areas with direct sunlight, high humidity, or drastic temperature changes - these can affect the canvas's longevity.
Step 2: Gather Your Tools
For a Simple Installation: A nail, hammer, tape measure, and a level.
For Added Stability: Wall anchors - especially for larger prints or if hanging on drywall.
Step 3: Measure and Mark
Use a measuring tape to find the center of your wall or desired area.
Carefully hang your canvas with the preinstalled sawtooth hanger, ensuring it's level. The installed wall bumpers will keep your canvas flat to the wall and help prevent scratches.
Adjust as needed for a professional and polished look.
Caring For Your Canvas Before Hanging
Unpack Your Canvas
Remove your canvas from its packaging carefully to avoid damaging the corners or print surface.
Allow the canvas to "breathe" and acclimate to the room conditions.
Inspect for Dust or Smudges
- Gently wipe the surface with a soft, line-free cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning sprays directly on the canvas.
Maintaining Your Canvas After Hanging
Regular Dusting
Lightly dust your canvas weekly using a microfiber cloth to prevent buildup.
For deeper cleaning - a dry, soft brush can help reach textured areas.
Keep Away From Hazards
Avoid placing your canvas in areas where it may be bumped or scratched
Keep it away from excessive moisture or heat sources like fireplaces and radiators.
Periodic Checks
Ensure your hanging nails and/or anchors remain secure, especially for heavier prints.
If your canvas becomes slightly tilted, realign it gently to keep it looking picture-perfect!
