General Disclaimer

The information provided by FrameMount (“https://www.framemount.com”) is for general educational and informational purposes only. Everything on the site is offered in good faith, but we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, about the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any calculator result, guide, or museum entry. Using the site is entirely at your own risk.

Not Professional Installation Advice

FrameMount is not a framer, a contractor, or an installer. The hanging-height, spacing, frame-size, hardware-weight, mat-size, and salon-grid calculators, along with every article and Learn entry, are educational tools that describe standard rules of thumb and general framing knowledge. They are not a professional installation plan, and they are not a substitute for the load ratings printed on your hardware or the judgement of a qualified professional.

Do not treat a recommended hook rating as a guarantee for your wall, a hanging height as a rule that overrides your own eye, or any guide as a promise that a fixing will hold a specific piece. If a job involves a heavy or valuable artwork, an uncertain or old wall, or a spot where a falling frame could hurt someone, confirm everything with the appropriate professional before you drill.

Estimates, Not Exact Figures

The calculators use widely accepted conventions and simplifying assumptions — the 57-inch gallery center line, the two-thirds furniture rule, standard hook rating ladders, a small mat overlap, and simple geometry. They are only as good as the numbers you enter and the assumptions behind them. Real results vary with your actual wall material, the true weight of a framed piece, the specific hardware you buy, and the quirks of your room. Treat every result as a planning aid, not a guaranteed outcome.

Walls, Fixings, and Safety

A picture that falls can break, damage a floor or furniture, or injure someone below it. Nothing on FrameMount tells you for certain whether a fixing will hold in your particular wall. Always:

• Follow the weight limit printed on the specific hooks, anchors, and strips you use.
• Match the hardware to your wall type — drywall, plaster, brick, or a stud.
• Check for hidden pipes and electrical wiring before drilling into a wall.
• Use two fixings and, for heavy pieces, anchor into a stud or a rated heavy-duty anchor.
• Take extra care above beds, sofas, cots, and anywhere people sit or sleep.

For any doubt about whether a wall or fixing is up to the job, defer to the hardware manufacturer’s ratings and a qualified professional over anything this site produces.

• You assume all risks associated with hanging art and with the use of our tools and information.
