Hanging Kits and Joaquim Rodrigo Prints Explained

Hanging Kits and Joaquim Rodrigo Prints Explained

A direct answer on hardware, plus what to check before any framed or canvas print goes on the wall.

The short answer

Auvrique does not currently list Joaquim Rodrigo editions in its catalogue, so a Rodrigo print with hanging kit cannot be ordered today. On comparable editions, mounting hardware is included with framed posters and canvas prints, typically hooks, nails or a wall bracket, so nothing needs buying separately.

Whether the Hardware Comes Included

The honest answer is that a Joaquim Rodrigo print with hanging kit is not something Auvrique can sell at the moment. His editions are not in the current catalogue, and no page should imply otherwise. If his work is added later, the hardware question would follow the same pattern the house applies to every other artist it prints.

That pattern is simple. Framed poster editions ship with the mounting hardware matched to the frame type, and canvas editions ship with the appropriate wall fixings. The point of inclusion is convenience, which is exactly what the reader here is shopping for. Anyone comparing options for a similar landscape can see a framed poster edition and check what ships in the box before deciding.

Hanging a Framed Print Properly

Most framed prints under roughly 60 cm across hang safely on a single hook or nail set into a stud, or on a wall anchor in plaster or brick. Heavier frames want two points, spaced about a third of the frame width apart, which keeps the piece level and spreads the load. A small spirit level costs little and prevents the crooked first attempt.

Canvas prints differ. A stretched canvas on a wooden bar usually hangs from a bracket or a sawtooth hanger fixed to the stretcher, so the wall fixing carries less weight than a glass framed piece of the same size. Anyone weighing framed against unstretched options can read how to choose canvas or framed poster, and those preferring bare walls can check buying a print without a frame.

Before you drill

  • Weigh the piece and match the fixing to the wall type, not the other way round.
  • Set the hook so the artwork's centre sits around 145 cm from the floor.
  • Use two hanging points on anything wider than about 60 cm.
  • Check for pipes or cables with a detector before drilling into an unfamiliar wall.

What To Do About Rodrigo Specifically

Since no Rodrigo edition is currently available, the practical move is to decide the format first and watch for additions to the catalogue. His work suits both framed posters and canvas, and the hanging kit question resolves itself either way once hardware is included as standard. There is no need to buy hooks separately in anticipation.

In the meantime, similar landscape work is available now. A quiet valley scene on canvas such as the Small valley in Volpedo canvas or a coastal framed piece like the Orlinka river Estuary poster both arrive ready to hang. For timing questions on any order, shipping times for a Rodrigo print covers what to expect once an edition is in hand.

The hardware is the cheap part. The wall you put it on is where most hanging mistakes happen.

Format Hardware included Wall type suited
Framed poster Hook or sawtooth hanger, nail Stud, plaster or brick with anchor
Canvas on stretcher Bracket or wall fixing Most interior walls
Large framed piece Two hooks, screws and anchors Stud fixing recommended

What typically ships with each format

Key takeaways

  1. No Joaquim Rodrigo edition is currently listed, so a hanging kit for his work cannot be ordered here today.
  2. Framed and canvas editions generally ship with mounting hardware included at no extra cost.
  3. Two hanging points keep anything wider than about 60 cm level over time.
  4. Match the wall fixing to the wall type before drilling, not to the artwork.

Related questions

Does Auvrique include mounting hardware with framed prints?

Framed poster editions ship with the hardware appropriate to the frame, usually a hook or sawtooth hanger with the matching nail or screw. Canvas editions include the wall fixings for their bracket. The intent is that the piece hangs the day it arrives, with no separate trip to a hardware shop.

What if my wall is plaster or brick?

Standard hooks hold in studs. In plasterboard without a stud, use a wall anchor rated for the frame's weight. In brick or masonry, drill with a masonry bit and insert a plug before driving the screw. The included fixings suit common walls, so a special wall may need one extra part.

Can I hang a canvas without nails?

Adhesive strips work for small, light canvases on smooth painted walls, but they fail on textured surfaces and in humid rooms. For anything larger than about 40 cm, a proper bracket into the wall is more reliable. Check the weight before trusting adhesive alone.
