FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about KlikFiks and KlikFiks Mini.
1. What is KlikFiks?
KlikFiks is an invisible mounting system designed for glass art, ceramics, wall decor, and lightweight panels. It allows you to hang artwork cleanly and securely while keeping the mounting hardware hidden from view.
2. What is the difference between KlikFiks and KlikFiks Mini?
KlikFiks is the standard version for medium-sized artworks and layered installations. KlikFiks Mini is a smaller version for lightweight items, small decorations, ornaments, and delicate projects where a discreet mount is preferred.
3. Which size is most commonly used?
The 16mm is the most popular size. It creates a balanced distance from the wall, allowing light to pass behind the artwork and enhancing the overall visual effect.
4. How much weight can KlikFiks hold?
- KlikFiks 8mm: up to 0.3 kg (0.66 lbs) per piece
- KlikFiks 16mm / 24mm / 32mm / 40mm: up to 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) per piece
- KlikFiks Mini: up to 100 g (0.22 lbs) per piece
For heavier or larger artwork, simply use multiple KlikFiks units.
5. How do I install KlikFiks?
One part is glued to the back of the artwork, and the second part is screwed to the wall. Once mounted, the two parts click together for a secure and invisible connection.
6. Which glue should I use?
We recommend a strong two-component epoxy adhesive suitable for glass, ceramic, metal, or acrylic surfaces. Always clean and degrease the surface before gluing for the best bond.
We sell Loctite 2K resin this is recommended for exclusive projects and WIKO 2K which is recommended for normal projects.
- Loctite EA3430 2K resin: shelf life of 24 months
- WIKO 2K resin: shelf life of 18 months
Important: If the resin has crystallised, it should no longer be used.
7. Can the KlikFiks be used outdoors?
We recommend using the KlikFiks system indoors for the best long-term performance. Outdoor use is possible, but the artwork should be placed in a shaded location and attached using a flexible silicone adhesive suitable for exterior conditions. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes whenever possible.
8. Can I use KlikFiks for layered glass art?
Yes. KlikFiks is ideal for layered wall art. The different heights (8mm, 16mm, 24mm, 32mm, 40mm) allow you to create depth and overlap multiple glass layers beautifully.
9. Can KlikFiks be removed from the wall?
Yes. The wall-mounted part can be unscrewed easily. If you wish to remove the KlikFiks from the glass, use water pump pliers and make a slow twisting motion. Please be extremely careful — this is done entirely at your own risk.
10. Which surfaces can KlikFiks be mounted on?
KlikFiks can be installed on most solid wall surfaces such as wood, plaster, brick, concrete, and panels. Always use suitable screws and wall plugs for your wall type.
11. My artwork is larger than the recommended size. What should I do?
Use multiple KlikFiks units to distribute the weight evenly. This provides extra support and helps keep the artwork level and secure.
12. Is KlikFiks visible after installation?
No. KlikFiks is designed to stay hidden behind the artwork, creating a clean floating effect that keeps the attention on the art itself.
