Hanging a picture on a brick wall may seem daunting.
How to hang a picture on a plastered brick wall.
But it s actually quite simple.
The ideal solution for hanging pictures on plaster is to use a picture hanging system like the all in one click rail cable hanging kit.
This system works by simply installing a rail along the wall and pictures then hang from cables attached to the rail and are fastened with hooks.
Even so it is possible hang numerous pictures throughout the house.
All you need to do is drill a hole into the mortar and put in a wall anchor.
You can t just hammer a little nail into the wall like you could with drywall.
For lighter items simply screwing into the plaster with a 1 1 4 drywall screw is usually enough to get the job done.
Then you can hang your picture hook on the wall anchor and you re ready to go.
After moving into a new home you might realize that the walls are made of plaster and not drywall.
Screws and screws with masonry anchors for heavy items are your best choice for hanging things on plaster walls without picture rail.
Next drill a hole into the mark using a 3 16 drill bit before removing the piece of tape.
