Shelf Life


Hooked on solutions

DO you keep your walls bare because you fear that drilling and hammering will result in unsightly holes and cracks?

The Command range of products from 3M offers innovative hanging solutions to help you get organised without damaging your walls or other surfaces.

From hooks to hangers, clips to cord organisers, the Command products are suitable for most surfaces in your home and office; they work on painted or varnished wood, glass, tile, plaster or metal.

And what’s best is that they hold strongly, yet come off cleanly, thanks to innovative adhesive strips with Stretch Release Technology.

The Command range also has Picture Hanging Strips that you can use for displaying artwork, photographs, certificates and posters on your wall.

Like the other products, no drilling or nails are necessary. These strips are designed to “lock” and “unlock” easily, so you can readjust frames with minimal hassle. It can hold weights up to 5.4kg.

The Command products are available in DIY shops and hypermarkets.
