What is a Picture Hanging Track and Photo Display Railing?
Our Picture Hanging Track is just that! An aluminum track that holds photos with a double acrylic protective panel that is hinged. Photos slide into the frame at the sides of the track. Track is installed on walls in rows and custom configurations. For larger displays connectors are available.
NOTE: Our system is designed to be used with our custom double acrylic photo panels. However, we do sell just the track and other rigid materials can be used like PVC, Acrylic, Metal, and Foam Board with printed or mounted adhesive graphics as long as they are not thicker than 1/4″.
***Standard photo frames do not work with our photo track.
The photo track system with double acrylic panes offers a clean sleek design that can have photos butted together or spaced out with optional spacers. Comes with end caps to secure photos in place.

What are the main components of our easily customizable Photo Wall Track System?
1. Straight Aluminum Track
Our Image Wall Track System is designed using a special Aluminum rail that graphics can be easily and securely displayed in horizontal rows with many configuration possibilities.
When designing your photo wall keep in mind that the aluminum track acts as the top and bottom rail of the photo or graphic so it easily slides in and is easily changed out. So if you need 3 rows of photos, you will need 4 rails.
For larger photo displays the sections can easily be extended to just about any length with our connectors.
Photos or graphics can be butted against one another or spaced out as desired. Our system does have optional Matte Black 1/2″ wide spacers that can be slid in between photos if separation is needed.
The rail is easily attached to the wall with screws and wall anchors, hardware is hidden.
2. Clear Double Pane Acrylic Panels
Our system is designed to be used with our 1/4″ Clear Double Pane Acrylic Panels that are hinged at the top. However rigid graphics that are no thicker than 1/4″ can be used in place of our panes.
***NOTE: Standard picture frames do not work with our system.
Our hinged acrylic panels offer protection of graphics and make installation and change outs a breeze. Just lift the top pane and slide your photo into place, drop it to sandwich it between the panels then slide into the track.
3. Metal Connectors for larger displays
Our Picture Track is modular so section of the rail can be connected with our sturdy metal connecting hardware. Just slide the connector into the track and it is hidden when in place. With these connectors you can make rows of any length you wish.
This component works great for larger rigid prints, graphics and signs that are no more than 1/4″ thick. Offer a clean sleek look to grand format prints and wall murals.
4. Locking end caps for security.
Our end caps are securely locked into place using and allen wrench, combined with our clear acrylic panels provide the optimum protection, yet allow for easy change out of photos or graphics.
