How to care for and hang an aluminium wall art piece

An aluminium wall art piece is much more than a simple wall decoration: it's a modern, durable design piece that brings elegance and personality to an interior. But to fully enjoy its beauty and ensure its longevity, two aspects are essential: proper care and a secure fixing.

At Kadris, we chose aluminium for our artworks because it combines strength, lightness and a premium finish. Here are our practical tips for installing and preserving your wall art in the best conditions.

1. Caring for an aluminium wall art piece

Aluminium is a robust, low-maintenance material, but a minimum of attention keeps it looking its best over time.

✔️ Regular cleaning

  • Use a soft, dry cloth (microfibre preferably) to remove dust.
  • Wipe the surface gently without pressing, to avoid any micro-scratches.

✔️ Deep cleaning

  • If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with clean water.
  • Absolutely avoid abrasive products, solvents or chemical cleaners that could alter the colours or the finish.
  • Always dry immediately after cleaning.

✔️ Precautions

  • Don't place the piece in direct sunlight for long periods, to avoid gradual fading (even though aluminium is more resistant than paper or canvas).
  • Avoid overly humid environments (unventilated bathroom, damp cellar).

With these simple steps, your aluminium wall art will keep its impeccable visual finish for many years.

2. Hanging an aluminium wall art piece correctly

The other major advantage of aluminium is its lightness, which makes wall mounting much easier. However, to ensure a stable and secure installation, here are our recommendations.

✔️ Kadris fixing systems

At Kadris, each piece comes with a suitable, discreet fixing system. It provides:

  • Easy installation, even for DIY novices.
  • A solid hold, avoiding any risk of falling.
  • An invisible fixing, for a perfect aesthetic result.

✔️ Recommended hanging steps

  1. Measure and mark the desired location on the wall.
  2. Drill and fit wall plugs suited to the wall type (plasterboard, concrete, brick).
  3. Screw in the supplied hooks or use a hanging rail if necessary.
  4. Hang the piece and check it's straight with a spirit level.

✔️ Practical tips

  • For large formats, ask a second person for help when hanging.
  • If you're a tenant and don't want to drill the walls, you can opt for reinforced adhesive hooks (Command™ type), making sure they can support the weight of the piece.

3. Where to install an aluminium wall art piece?

Aluminium wall art suits every room of the home:

  • Living room: as a centrepiece, above a sofa or a low unit.
  • Bedroom: for a calming or dynamic effect depending on the chosen theme.
  • Office: to stimulate inspiration and creativity.
  • Converted garage or private showroom: ideal for our collections around motoring and legendary cars.

Thanks to its slimness and resistance, aluminium wall art is also suitable for public spaces (cafés, professional offices, showrooms).

Conclusion: simplicity, elegance and durability

A Kadris aluminium wall art piece is designed to last and stay as vibrant as on day one.

  • Care is simple and quick: a soft cloth is enough.
  • Fixing is easy and secure, thanks to our systems designed for every interior.

By choosing aluminium, we wanted to combine modernity, robustness and elegance, to offer works that stand the test of time while enhancing your walls.

Take care of them, install them attentively, and your wall art will remain the centrepieces of your decor for many years.
