Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your metal wall art:
- Choose Location: Select a suitable indoor location. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and capable of supporting the weight of the art. Avoid direct sunlight or high humidity areas to prolong the life of the print.
- Unpack Carefully: Remove the metal print and mounting hardware from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage if needed.
- Identify Mounting System: Examine the back of your metal print and the provided hardware to understand the specific mounting system (e.g., magnet, hanger, or French cleat).
- Mark Wall: Hold the art against the wall at your desired height and position. Use a pencil to lightly mark the locations for the mounting hardware. Use a level to ensure the marks are straight.
- Install Wall Hardware:
- For screws and anchors: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations, insert wall anchors, then screw in the mounting hardware.
- For adhesive mounts (if provided): Clean the wall surface thoroughly. Peel the backing from the adhesive and firmly press the mount onto the wall at the marked locations. Allow sufficient time for the adhesive to cure before hanging the art (refer to adhesive instructions if provided).
- Hang Art: Carefully align the pre-installed mounting system on the back of the metal print with the installed wall hardware. Gently lower the art into place, ensuring it is secure and level.

Placement Guidelines
To ensure the longevity and best appearance of your metal wall art, consider the following:
- Indoor Use Only: This product is designed for indoor display. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage the print.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: While UV resistant, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time.
- Stable Environment: Place in an area with stable temperature and humidity to prevent any potential warping or damage.
- Secure Mounting: Always ensure the art is securely mounted to prevent accidental falls.
Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the quality and appearance of your metal wall art:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust.
- Stubborn Marks: For light smudges or fingerprints, slightly dampen a soft cloth with water and gently wipe. Immediately follow with a dry cloth.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the print surface.
- Handling: When moving or adjusting the art, handle it by the edges to avoid touching the printed surface.
