In this video I am going to show you how to hang a poster. What's unique a cool about this video it we aren't going to use sticky tape or thumb tacks. We are going to use a french cleat. This allows the poster to appear as it's floating off the wall and looks way more professional than any other way I've ever seen. The other major advantage with this way is that if you want to switch the graphics it's super simple and takes seconds.

French cleat wall mounting is the perfect choice for displaying foam core prints in your home or on the walls of your office.

French cleat wall mounting consists of a pair of lightweight blocks, one that is attached to the back of your print and another that is attached to the wall. The print then hangs off the block on the wall creating a seamless display piece that showcases your print correctly. French cleats are designed specifically to avoid covering the edges of the print like a typical frame would allowing a full view of your print. French cleats also allow you to replace the print with another at any time with incredible ease. Installing prints is made easy with this wall mounting kit. The print essentially "floats" a half inch from the wall, making your print stand out. The wall mounting kit consists of two beveled pieces that interlock with one another. The wall mounting kits can be secured to your wall in several different manners. With offer double sided adhesive tape which can support the weight of your print. Another option to secure the wall mounting kit to the surface is to drill or nail through the kit. This option gives you the opportunity to reinforce the adhesion of the wall mounting kit. Installation is simple. All that is needed is a level, a tape measure and the print.

Now you can place your print on top of the mounted wall kit. And now you have a beautiful piece accentuating your space.
