Perlon Cables for Picture Rails

What types of perlon cables are available?

Perlon cables for picture rails are available in several versions:

• Perlon cables with loop: This version is attached to a gliding hook that is already positioned in the picture rail.
• Perlon cables with slider: With these models, the slider (e.g. a hexagon slider or soft slider) is permanently crimped onto the cable. It is inserted directly into the rail channel or clicked into place.

Different thicknesses and lengths

Perlon cables are available in different diameters. Thinner cables appear particularly discreet, while thicker versions offer a higher load capacity. A range of standard lengths is also available.

A practical tip: If required, you can shorten the cables yourself or simply roll up the excess length behind the picture frame and secure it. This keeps your system flexible if you want to reposition your pictures later.

Load capacity and safety

Despite their delicate appearance, our perlon cables are extremely tear-resistant. When used with suitable picture hooks, they easily support light to heavy pictures while providing reliable long-term stability.

Advantages of perlon cables for picture rails

Perlon cables offer several practical advantages for hanging pictures:

• Almost invisible suspension – the transparent material visually fades into the background.
• Flexible positioning – pictures can be moved or realigned at any time.
• Different versions available – with loop or integrated slider.
• Quick picture changes – pictures can be replaced without tools.

Perlon cable or steel cable – when is perlon the right choice?

Perlon cables are among the most popular accessories for gallery rail systems. The reason is simple: they combine high load capacity with a minimalist appearance. Perlon cables are particularly suitable when a discreet hanging solution is desired. Thanks to their transparent design, they are far less noticeable than steel cables.

In modern living spaces, commercial interiors or exhibitions, transparent hanging systems are often preferred because they create a calm and elegant presentation and give pictures a modern “floating” appearance.

For silver picture rails or a more industrial look, steel cables can also be a suitable alternative.
