Frame Pulled Out of the Wall
Likely cause: Plastic plug in gypsum or hollow block.
What we do: Metal cavity or resin anchor fitted.
Al Salam Tower, Office 15B, Al Barsha, DubaiEvery day, 8am to 10pm
The same frame needs a different fixing on concrete, hollow block, gypsum or tile. Get it wrong and frames slip, tilt or pull out. We identify the wall, choose rated fixings for the frame's weight and install every frame level and secure.
Problems
Likely cause: Plastic plug in gypsum or hollow block.
What we do: Metal cavity or resin anchor fitted.
Likely cause: Single central hook.
What we do: Two-point fixing or anti-tilt hooks.
Likely cause: Wrong drill bit or hammer mode.
What we do: Tile bit used, hole drilled in grout where possible.
Likely cause: Old or undersized wire.
What we do: Wire replaced with D-rings.
Hollow concrete blocks are common in Dubai and swallow ordinary plugs. Long plugs or resin anchors grip the inner webs of the block so frames stay put.
Bathrooms and kitchens are often tiled. We drill through grout lines where possible and use tile bits without hammer action, so tiles do not crack.
For larger art, see artwork installation. For many frames, see gallery wall setup, and for frame sizes, small to large frame hanging.
Gypsum Walls
Gypsum needs cavity anchors or a stud. A plain screw will pull out.
Tiles
Drilling through grout is easier to repair later than a tile.
Any Wall
Each wall type needs a different fixing.
We identify the wall and install every frame on rated fixings, perfectly level.
Process
We tap and test the wall and scan for pipes and cables.
The fixing is matched to the wall type and the frame's weight.
Holes are drilled with the right bit, with dust collected.
The frame is hung and levelled with a laser.
Picture hanging starts from AED 100 per visit for up to three pictures, with extra pictures from AED 25 each. Large, heavy and gallery wall jobs are quoted by the number and weight of pieces. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
Small, neat holes are normally treated as fair wear in Dubai rentals, but check your tenancy. We drill cleanly, can use adhesive or rail systems for light frames, and can fill and touch up holes when you move out.
We hang photo frames, canvases, framed prints, heavy art, certificates, plaques, signs and acrylic panels, on concrete, block, gypsum and tiled walls.
Yes. We lay the frames out on the floor or with paper templates on the wall first, agree spacing and centre height with you, and only then drill.
