Double-sided adhesive
Using double-sided adhesive can be practical for attaching objects to the wall without having to make a hole.
Available in DIY stores, double-sided adhesive comes in the form of rolls or strong adhesive strips, which can support loads of up to five kilos.
There are also specialist adhesive strips for outdoor use, ideal for attaching letter boxes or bird boxes.
It is easy to use and set up.
Simply cut the adhesive strip to the desired size, apply it to the object to be attached, then stick it to the wall.
In just a few moments, a picture, shelf or mirror is securely attached without the need for drilling.
The double-sided adhesive can be used on different types of smooth surfaces such as:
The plaster
Wood
PVC
Metal
Or the glass
Once applied, it is invisible, which guarantees an aesthetic result.
It can also be used in damp rooms.
Fixing paste
Fixing paste (commonly called fixing paste) offers an ingenious solution for fixing objects to the wall without the need to make holes.
There are two kinds:
1)
The fixing paste in the form of modeling clay
is particularly suitable for hanging frames, pictures or kitchen utensils.
Simply apply an appropriate amount of paste to the object to be fixed, then press it against the wall.
This paste adheres effectively to many surfaces such as concrete, cement or tiles, and can support a maximum load ranging from 2 to 6 kg depending on the model.
2)
The fixing paste in the form of pre-cut tablets
is reusable and is ideal for sticking photos or posters, with a load capacity of up to 250 g.
Easy to apply and reuse, it cures quickly after application, ensuring strong and reliable adhesion.
In addition, it leaves no marks on the walls or wall tiles, thus preserving their integrity when the paste is removed.
However, avoid using it on more fragile wallpaper.
Super powerful glue
The super powerful glue allows you to attach objects whether light or heavy, both indoors and outdoors.
Designed to adhere to a variety of substrates and materials, this putty glue eliminates the need to drill or shore objects to be attached.
Its use is simple: apply beads of extra strong glue to the back of the object, then press it against the wall for a few seconds.
Complete drying takes place in 24 hours.
Sold in cartridges to be placed in an extruder gun, the extra strong glue can hold up to 350 kg/m2, depending on the model.
You can attach XXL frames, shelves supporting several kilos, or even a mailbox to the facade of your house.
Resistant to frost, humidity and vibrations, it is also suitable for outdoor use.
Suitable for a variety of substrates such as stone, brick, wood, tiles or plaster, the super strength glue provides a strong, long-lasting bond.
Adhesive tabs
The adhesive tabs can hold up to 5 kilos and are ideal for a variety of surfaces, such as painted walls, tiles, stainless steel, plastic or glass.
These adhesive tabs work in pairs: the first attaches to the wall and the other to the object to be hung, the two adhering to each other using a system of pins.
Their generous length allows you to hold your decorative object securely in place.
In addition, they are easily removed without leaving a trace, thus offering maximum flexibility and practicality in decorating your interior.
With the adhesive tabs, you can hang your frames and photos wherever you want, without compromising the integrity of your walls and without the hassle of drilling.
Adhesive hooks
Adhesive hooks go anywhere and are perfect for hanging small items such as keys, kitchen utensils, tea towels or even clothes.
There are two main types of adhesive hooks: those with suction cups and those with an adhesive attachment system.
The suction hooks
can be moved as you wish, and are particularly suitable for smooth and damp surfaces such as shower tiles.
Some models can support a load of up to 3 kg, with sufficient hanging capacity for a variety of objects.
The adhesive hooks
can hold up to two kilos and are particularly suitable for kitchens and bathrooms.
Some models combine a suction cup and a pressure system for a more secure attachment, thus reducing the risk of falling.
Magnetic painting
Magnetic painting is an innovative and creative solution to transform any part of your wall into a functional magnetic board.
Loaded with ferrous particles, it makes it easy to hang photos, posters, memos and other items using magnets.
Available in several colors, magnetic paint is easy to apply, provided you carefully prepare the surface.
It can even be covered with wallpaper or a thin veneer while retaining its magnetic properties.
However, due to its relatively high cost, it is generally reserved for small wall surfaces.
Adhesive screws
Adhesive screws are used to attach objects to rough surfaces such as brick or stone, but they are also suitable for wood, plastic, metal, and more.
Their versatility makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Available in different shapes (round, rectangular or triangular), they simply stick to the wall.
Then wait 12 hours, then attach the desired object by tightening the nut provided.
Depending on the model, these screws can support a weight ranging from 2.5 to 7 kg.
An additional advantage is their ease of removal: to remove the adhesive screw, simply turn it slowly using pliers, which preserves the surface to which it was attached.
To avoid drilling into your walls, these seven tips are excellent alternatives for easily attaching decorations or wall elements.
Very effective, the strongest can even support up to several kilos without fail.
