Curved walls add a unique architectural flair to any space, but they can pose challenges when it comes to displaying art, signage, or promotional materials. Fortunately, Nova Display Systems offers a range of innovative solutions designed to adapt to these dynamic surfaces. From vertical cable and rod systems to tension cable systems on rails/tracks and horizontal rod systems with hook-on display frames, Nova Display provides versatile, elegant, and functional options for showcasing your content on curved walls. In this blog, we’ll explore how these systems can transform your curved spaces into stunning display areas.
Vertical Cable Systems — Sleek and Flexible
Nova Display’s vertical cable systems, available in 1.5mm and 3mm cable diameter options, are perfect for creating modern, minimalist displays on curved walls. These systems use high-strength stainless steel cables suspended between ceiling-to-floor or wall-to-wall configurations, offering flexibility and durability. The cables can support a variety of acrylic poster frames, signage, or lightweight panels, making them ideal for offices, galleries, or retail environments.
For curved walls, the cables can be anchored to follow the wall’s contour, allowing for seamless integration. The 1.5mm cable system, for instance, is highly functional for lightweight displays like posters or photos, supporting up to 120 kg (264 lbs) per cable. The system’s quick-fit toggles and tensioners make installation and adjustments straightforward, ensuring your display remains taut and visually appealing. Whether you’re showcasing employee achievements or promotional graphics, vertical cable systems provide a clean, professional look that complements curved architecture.
Vertical Rod Systems — Robust and Elegant
For displays requiring greater stability, Nova Display’s 6mm and 10mm vertical rod systems are an excellent choice. These rigid stainless steel rods offer a sophisticated alternative to cables, ideal for heavier items like framed artwork, glass shelves, or custom panels. The rods can be suspended from ceiling-to-floor or wall-mounted, with spring tensioners at the bottom to maintain rigidity over time.
On curved walls, vertical or horizontal rod systems shine by providing a sturdy framework that can be tailored to the wall’s radius. The rods can support hook-on acrylic holders or sandwich-style frames, perfect for displaying certificates, photos, or merchandise. For example, the R2014 Acrylic Info/Poster Display Holders can be mounted on horizontal 6mm rods anchored to a curved wall, creating a sleek, gallery-style presentation. These systems are particularly suited for museums or corporate spaces where durability and aesthetics are paramount.
Tension Cable System on Rails/Tracks — Customizable for Curved Walls
Nova Display’s rail/track tension cable system is a game-changer for curved walls, offering unmatched versatility. This system features aluminum rails (available in 48″, 60″, 72″, 84″, or 96″ lengths, with custom sizes upon request) that can be bent to match the specific radius of your curved wall. The rails are mounted to the wall or ceiling, and 1.5mm stainless steel cables are suspended vertically with quick-fit toggles and spring tensioners for easy setup and reconfiguration.
Our ability to bend rails to exact radius makes this system ideal for custom installations. Whether you’re displaying large-format posters, graphic panels, or acrylic frames, the cables can be adjusted to accommodate various heights and layouts. The system’s modularity allows for easy updates, making it perfect for dynamic environments like retail stores or exhibition spaces. For instance, the T2023 Rail/Track Mounted Poster Displays can be configured to span an entire curved wall, creating a cohesive and impactful presentation without damaging the wall surface.
Horizontal Rod System with Hook-On Display Frames — Practical and Stylish
Nova Display’s horizontal rod system with hook-on display frames offers a practical and elegant solution for curved walls. This system uses 6mm or 10mm stainless steel rods mounted horizontally across the wall, with clear acrylic frames designed to hook onto the rods. The frames, available in sizes like 4″x6″, 5″x7″, 8.5″x11″, 11″x17″, or larger custom formats, feature a molded top for easy attachment and removal, making content updates a breeze.
On curved walls, the horizontal rods can be anchored to follow the wall’s contour, creating a streamlined display that maximizes space. The hook-on acrylic holders are ideal for displaying posters, photos, or informational signage, and their frameless design ensures a modern, unobtrusive look. For example, the R2008 Recognition Wall Display with Hook-on Acrylic Frames can transform a curved office wall into a professional showcase for team photos or awards. This system is particularly effective in spaces where frequent updates are needed, such as real estate offices or educational institutions.
