Cable Wall Systems for photos

Does anyone know anything about these cable wall systems? Is it something you sell and install? How difficult are they to install? Who do you usually sell them to? Have you even seen them before?
I'm loooking for an alternative for a customer. They want something nice on the wall but they want the ease of switching out photos instead of buying a new acrylic every so often.

Thanks in advance.

Look into Outwater Products also. They sell some real nice systems. MBS is a good company also though, buy a LOT of standoffs etc from them.

We usually make an install template/paint mask for the hole patterns we have the installers drill.

Gyford Systems also has similar products. I've installed these before in hospitals and fancy corporate lobbies, but always as a permanent, decorative or screening element. Not sure how they'd work as a changeable type system.
Maybe you could sandwich a print in between 2 thinner acrylic panels and use the friction of the grippers to hold it in place?

These on the right pond are standard estate agent window fodder. Childs play to switch content in and out. There will be a whole host of fixings that can grip the (typically 2mm wire) that are held in place with small allen keys.

We bought one for our office behind my desk when you walk in. It displays some of our work. I love it. We purchased it through MBS. It was very easy to install. They may even have an instruction video on there site.

Sorry about the extra posts. It said there was an error when trying to send it each time. Apparently not.

We've bought and installed them in a premium outlet shop - They hang in every stores windows... Theyre great. The wall ones are awesome, but I'd stay away from the floor ones... Half of the floor ones we installed are broken because they ram merchandise / displays into the windows... hit them and it pulls the anchor out. It's not the products fault, but it is a faulty design... If you have anything sticking out of the floor in an area anyone can access, odds are it'll get kicked or bumped into a break. The wall systems are all perfect and stiff up! And I believe if people didnt kick them, the ceiling to floor ones would be too.

It's a pain in the ass trying to re-secure them into the floor without noticing it being a patch job as well! So if you do get a system, I'd go for the wall to wall one.
