A Professional Installation Guide for Maximum Safety

At Insigne, our glass wall art is engineered with a specially developed 100% secure steel hanging system, designed to provide long-term safety, stability, and peace of mind. While this system distributes weight perfectly and ensures strong wall grip, choosing the correct screws and anchors according to your wall type is absolutely essential for flawless performance.

This guide is created to serve as a clear and reliable installation manual for our customers, explaining different wall types, the appropriate mounting hardware for each, and best installation practices — supported by custom icon-style visual references for easy understanding.

Why Wall-Type-Specific Anchors and Screws Matter

Not all walls are built the same. Each wall material has a different load-bearing capacity and internal structure. Using incorrect anchors or screws may lead to:

• Reduced load capacity

• Gradual loosening over time

• Potential safety risks

To ensure the full strength of Insigne’s 100% secure steel hanging system, the mounting screws must match the hole diameter of the steel bracket, and the anchors must be specifically suitable for your wall type.

1. Drywall (Plasterboard) Walls

Drywall is commonly used in modern interiors but has a hollow core, making standard plastic anchors insufficient for heavy wall art.

Recommended hardware:

• Heavy-duty metal toggle bolts or metal drywall anchors

• Minimum screw diameter: 6 mm (¼ inch)

• Anchors rated for heavy loads

⚠️ Always use anchors specifically designed for hollow walls to ensure safe weight distribution.

2. Concrete Walls

Concrete walls offer the highest structural strength and provide extremely secure mounting when the correct anchor is used.

Recommended hardware:

• High-quality plastic or steel concrete anchors

• Screw diameter: 6–8 mm

• Drill hole must exactly match anchor diameter

Proper drilling depth and clean holes are critical for maximum anchor performance.

3. Brick Walls

Brick walls may consist of solid or hollow bricks, which affects anchor selection.

Recommended hardware:

• Expansion anchors suitable for brick masonry

• For hollow bricks: anchors designed to expand within cavities

• Screw diameter: approx. 6 mm

For best results, drilling into the center of the brick (not the mortar joint) is recommended.

4. Aerated Concrete (AAC / Ytong) Walls

Aerated concrete is lightweight and porous, requiring specialized anchors for proper grip.

Recommended hardware:

• Special spiral or threaded anchors for aerated concrete

• Longer screws for increased holding strength

• Low-speed drilling (avoid hammer mode)

Incorrect anchor selection can significantly reduce holding power in this wall type.

The Safest Method: Visit a Local Hardware Store with the Steel Bracket

The most reliable approach is to take the steel wall-mounting bracket included with your Insigne artwork to a local hardware store.

This allows professionals to:

• Match screws precisely to the mounting hole diameter of the steel bracket

• Select anchors that are 100% compatible with your wall type

This simple step ensures maximum safety and eliminates installation guesswork.

Final Notes

When Insigne’s 100% secure steel hanging system is combined with the correct wall-specific anchors and screws, your glass wall art can be enjoyed safely for many years.
