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.
