Qualwood™ Custom Rug Hangers
Installation Hints
Your Qualwood Custom Rug Hanger is designed to securely hold and display
rugs or other fabrics. The hanger back is attached to the wall with screws. The
hanger front is attached to your fabric with Velcro®. The two parts of the
hanger are then held in place by gravity.
Installing the Screws in the Wall:
- First locate and install the screws that will
hold the hanger to the wall. The hanger
has keyhole slots on the back that will hang on the heads of screws.
- The type of screws used will depend on the
wall material and construction. Select screws which can be securely
installed in the wall and which have a head that fits into the keyhole
slot.
- At each keyhole slot a small hole is drilled
completely through the back piece of the hanger. Hold the back against the
wall. Be sure it is at the proper height and is level. Now push the small
nail (attached) through each of the small holes to mark the wall location of
each screw.
- Install a screw at each mark.
Test by installing the hanger on the screws to ensure it fits correctly.
Attaching the Qualwood Hanger to Your Wall Hanging:
If your wall hanging is made from a fabric that sticks to Velcro (such as
most rugs):
- Place your wall hanging on a flat surface with the back side up.
- Press the Velcro strip of the hanger front against the top edge of your
wall hanging.
- Now just place the hanger front on top of the hanger back as illustrated.
If your fabric does not stick to Velcro you must first attach a strip of felt to the back:
- You will be attaching a one inch wide strip of felt to the top back edge
of your wall hanging. The felt can be sewed on, attached with pins or
attached with an iron-on adhesive. The felt included with the hanger has the
adhesive.
- To attach the felt with the adhesive first peel off the paper backing.
- Place the felt on the back of your hanging with the adhesive side against
the fabric.
- Iron on for 30-45 seconds on the wool setting. Note: Once the felt is
attached with the iron it can not be removed. However, the adhesive may not
stick to all fabrics. If it does not stick, or you do not want to use
adhesive, just attach the felt with pins.
- Place your wall hanging on a flat surface with the back side up.
- Press the Velcro strip of the hanger front against the felt strip on your
wall hanging.
- Now just place the hanger front on top of the hanger back as illustrated.
