Q
|
What are your hangers made from?
|
|
A
|
Most of the hangers are made from alder,
a hardwood that grows in the northwest. We
use it because it is attractive and finishes well. For some hidden
components we use high quality plywood for strength and uniformity.
|
Q
|
How are the hangers finished?
|
|
A
|
We use commercial stains to
achieve uniform colors on the hangers. They are then finished with
multiple coats of a water based lacquer. The hangers are
completely sealed both inside and outside so no oils from the wood can
contact your fabric.
|
Q
|
How do I attach the hanger to the
wall?
|
|
A
|
The hangers have keyhole slots
on the back which slip over the head of a screw. (see the
installation instructions for each hanger) You can use any screws
that will hold in the wall and which has a head that fits the keyhole
slot. The weight is distributed over several screws. So, if
you are hanging a moderate weight hanging on a wall constructed from
drywall you seldom need any special anchors. We just use simple
1" long screws.

|
Q
|
Can you
make a Custom Contemporary or Southwest hanger from oak with a
"medium" finish?
|
|
A
|
Yes we can make either style
hanger from oak with a light, medium or dark finish. We can also
supply the oak hanger unfinished. Since there are many shades that
can be considered "medium" it is often difficult to get an
exact match. If an exact match is important you may want to
consider getting an unfinished hanger and applying your own
stain. Since they are not standard, please order oak hangers by
phone.
For a Contemporary Hanger add $10.00 to the standard price. The
hidden back piece will be the standard wood
while the visible front will be oak.
For a Southwest Hanger add $20.00. |
