All Your Mounting and Fixing Needs are Solved with a Z Bar

If you work in an office, showroom or shop where you have shelving and display needs, you will probably already know how much of a challenge it can be to put up shelving and add hooks to the wall to secure your products or support your heavy items on shelves. Fortunately, there are a variety of solutions available to make this process easier and safer. One such product to consider is the Z bar. Using a Z bar is much easier when compared to alternative hanging methods simply because this product relies on the natural weight of the item to secure the fixture to the wall. Read on to learn about this incredible product as it’s application.

Benefits Of Using Aluminum Z Bars, Z Channels

The ease of use is the primary benefit of using a Z bar over other methods for hanging shelving and other display mechanisms. Z bars are so easy to use because they rely on the weight of the item being hung to remain secure to the wall. Saves on cost, and also takes a fraction of the time.

In addition to ease of installation, another huge benefit to using Z bars for your mounting needs is that they are easy to move and adjust when needed. Whether you need to rearrange a shelving unit or want to remove a display altogether, the Z bar can be removed quickly with virtually no surface damage.

Finally, a major benefit to the Z bar is its strength and durability. Z bars are designed to accommodate a great deal of weight without losing hold. For this reason, they are often used to mount particularly heavy items. And as an extra benefit many of the strong Z bars in production – such as those made of aluminum – can take a lot more weight than a conventional screw and bracket.

Z Bar Installation

To install a Z bar, begin by screwing in one bar to the object you plan to hang. Then, screw a second Z bar onto the wall. When connected together, the two Z bars create a male and female piece that fit securely together. Because you have control over where the Z bar is placed, they can be easily concealed and hidden from sight. The Z bar will slide into place using its signature shape and design. This simple and straightforward installation process ultimately saves you time and money you would otherwise waste when using other mounting methods.

Uses of Z Bars

Hanging shelving units and display mechanisms. One of the most common uses of the Z bar is to hang shelving and other types of display options, primarily in a retail setting. Because stores often have a great deal of merchandise they need displayed and available to customers, having an easy way to install and adjust them is essential to keep business growing. For this reason, Z bars are often the first choice because of their simple design and ability to be changed on a regular basis if needed.

Hanging mirrors, artworks, and signage. Z bars are also frequently used in home and office settings to hang smaller items securely. A major benefit of using a Z bar for these applications is that they maintain a level hanging position, ensuring you don’t suffer from the dreaded crooked picture frame.

Hanging wall panels. Because Z bars are capable of holding a large amount of weight, they are often used to mount wall panels. From mounting wood wall panels to padded wall panels, acoustical panels, and more, Z bars are a go-to option for this application.
