Pull Out Art Screen Racks Save Space & Keep Paintings Accessible

Storing paintings in shelving or stacked against the wall happens. But it’s not good and creates many storage problems like wasted space and inaccessible items, not to mention the potential for damage. The pull-out art screen racks compact your paintings into a smaller footprint. And the racks have special screens that are like panels for hanging your paintings. This allows for easy visibility and keeps valuable artwork off the floor.

Features & Benefits of the Pull Out Art Screen Racks

The pull out racks are mounted onto tracks. The upper track is mounted to the back wall and doesn’t require any unistrut in the ceiling. The second set of tracks mounts under the panels with a wheel on the front of the panel. Because the overhead guide is anchored to the back wall, it helps to guide the racks out. And since nothing is anchored to the ceilings, these pull out racks are the perfect solution for rooms with suspended ceilings.
