FloatPlaqs give your art dimension to appear as if it is floating off the wall.  FloatPlaqs are quickly becoming a favorite for fine art galleries and artists alike.  Made from our premium eco-friendly wood, FloatPlaqs create a durable yet creative way to preserve and present fine art. Artwork is mounted on an acid-free 3/8” thick surface, finished with a beveled edge, and given a ¾” deep backing to create a floating effect.  The backing is recessed from the edge such that it is not easily seen.  A simple French cleat system is provided to securely mount and display a FloatPlaq. A multitude of durable surface finishes are offered to enhance artwork and provide UV protection and moisture resistance to a piece of artwork.  In addition, various edge color options are available to enrich and customize the presentation.

Material and Sizing Specifications:
Recycled, eco-friendly wood, coated with acid-free moisture resistant barrier. The french cleat hanging system is made out of eco-friendly non-coated wood.

Surface Finish Options: Velvet (Standard), Satin, Matte, and Semi-Matte.

Hanging System: ¾ inch French Cleat is standard. If requested a wire hanger can be added to the FloatPlaq.  Please note that we do not warranty wire hangers. Included with the cleat hanging system are Hangman Walldog Screws.These are an all steel, one piece, threaded fastener. Walldog fasteners are fast. Unlike conventional screw anchors, which require the secondary step of threading a sheet metal screw into an anchor, the Walldog is installed directly through the fixture into the drywall.

Hanging Instructions: Included with your FloatPlaq is French cleat hanging system. Take the beveled short block of wood and press it against the wall with the bevel going downward towards the wall. Set a level under the cleat hanger. With the cleat level, screw the first Walldog Screw through the cleat into the wall. With the cleat still level screw the rest of the Walldog Screws through the cleat into the wall. Make sure the Walldog Screws drive tightly into the wall. Giving no separation from the wall and the cleat. Now you can place the FloatPlaq on top of the cleat hanger on the wall setting it in place. The FloatPlaq can be moved left and right to the desired location. If the FloatPlaq seems off level simple put a small piece of tissue paper on the beveled area of the cleat hanger. This will raise the FloatPlaq up leveling it out.

Edge Options:
Beveled with any color. Normal bevel is 3/16 of an inch, we do have the capability to do slighter bevels if requested.

Ammonia-free glass cleaner and a clean cloth are recommended for the general cleaning of a DuraPlaq products.

For best results, … spray glass cleaner on a clean, soft cloth (prevent over-spraying and streaking on the surface), and wipe-down a plaque with gentle, circular motions.  Many surface finishes will allow for heavier grease or debris removal using additional cleaning products (noted below); varying per surface finish.

Please do not use ammonia or acetone-based cleaning products. These chemicals dramatically reduce the longevity and durability of our protective finishes.
