Installing the Artiteq Contour Rail is relatively simple and requires a few tools and a little preparation. Here are the detailed steps for successful installation:
Materials needed:
- Artiteq Rail Contour
- Fixing clips (supplied with the rail)
- Drill and suitable bits
- Screwdriver
- Screws and wall plugs (provided or suitable for your wall)
- Spirit level
- Marking pencil
Installation steps:
1. Prepare the wall
- Choose the location where you want to install the picture rail.
- Clean the surface so that it is clean and dry.
2. Mark the fixing points
- Place a fixing clip approximately 10 cm from each end of the rail. Add additional clips approximately every 40 cm.
- Use a spirit level to mark a straight line on the wall with a pencil.
- Mark the drilling points for the clips on the drawn line.
3. Drill and fix the clips
- Drill the holes at the marked locations.
- Wall type : Adapt the drill bit and anchors depending on whether the wall is plaster, concrete, brick or wood.
- Insert dowels into holes if necessary.
- Secure the clips with screws, making sure they are properly aligned.
4. Install the rail
- Place the rail on the fixing clips.
- Press firmly to snap the rail into place. You will hear a "click" when the rail is securely attached.
5. Check the installation
- Make sure the rail is secure and straight.
- Test with a hanging wire and hook to verify that everything is in order.
Additional tips:
- If you are installing multiple rails, be sure to align them properly for a clean and aesthetic finish.
- Allow sufficient clearance from the ceiling to facilitate installation.
- If necessary, cut the rail to the correct length with a hacksaw.
