Installing the R20 Newly picture rail is quick and easy, thanks to its ingenious design. Here is a detailed guide to successfully installing it:
Materials needed:
- R20 Newly Picture Rail
- Newly mounting clips (included)
- Drill and suitable bits
- Screws and dowels (supplied or suitable for wall type)
- Screwdriver
- Spirit level
- Marking pencil
- Hacksaw (if you need to adjust the length of the rail)
Installation steps:
1. Prepare the installation
- Choose the location for your picture rail, generally close to the ceiling for an aesthetic result.
- Use a spirit level to mark a straight line on the wall where you want to attach the track.
2. Position the Newly fixing clips
- The clips should be spaced approximately 40 cm apart to ensure good stability.
- Place a clip about 5-10cm from each end of the rail.
3. Mark the drilling points
- Position the mounting clips along the drawn line and mark the mounting hole locations with a pencil.
4. Drill and fix the clips
- Drill the holes at the marked locations.
- Wall type :
- For a concrete or brick wall, use suitable anchors.
- For a plaster or plasterboard wall, choose specific anchors.
- Secure the Newly clips with screws, making sure they are properly aligned.
5. Install the R20 Newly rail
- Place the R20 Newly rail on the fixing clips.
- Press firmly to clip it in place. You will hear a "click" when the rail is correctly in place.
6. Check the installation
- Make sure the rail is secure and stable.
- Test by adding a hanging wire and hook to verify that everything is working properly.
Additional tips:
-
Length adjustment :
If necessary, cut the rail to the correct length with a hacksaw. File the cut edges to avoid sharp edges.
-
Angles and connections :
Use corner connectors or to connect multiple rails together to maintain a neat aesthetic.
-
Position relative to the ceiling :
Leave sufficient space between the rail and the ceiling to allow for easy installation and use.
Once installed, the R20 Newly system provides a robust and elegant solution for hanging your artwork, whilst ensuring a clean and professional finish.
