Installing the R10 picture rail Newly follows a process similar to other picture rail systems, but with some specificities unique to this model. Here is a step-by-step guide to install the R10 Newly picture rail:
Materials needed:
- R10 Newly picture rail
- Newly fixing clips (provided with the rail)
- Screws and wall plugs (suitable for your wall type)
- Drill with suitable drill bit
- Screwdriver
- Spirit level
- Pencil for marking
- Hacksaw (if you need to cut the rail to a specific length)
Installation steps:
1. Plan the installation
- Determine the location of the picture rail based on the artworks you want to hang.
- Draw a straight line on the wall using a spirit level to ensure perfect alignment.
2. Prepare the fixing clips
- Position the Newly fixing clips at regular intervals, usually every 30 to 40 cm.
- Place a clip about 5-10 cm from each end of the rail.
3. Mark drilling points
- Position the clips along the drawn line and mark the fixing hole locations with a pencil.
4. Drill and fix the clips
- Drill holes at the marked locations.
- Wall type: Use suitable wall plugs if the wall is plasterboard, concrete, or brick.
- Fix the Newly clips to the wall with screws, ensuring they are well aligned.
5. Install the rail
- Position the R10 Newly rail on the fixed clips on the wall.
- Press firmly to snap it in place. You will hear a "click" indicating the rail is securely fixed.
6. Check and finalize the installation
- Ensure the rail is securely fixed and does not move.
- Insert the suspension wires and hooks to ensure the system works correctly.
Tips for successful installation:
- Shortening the rail: If the rail is too long, neatly cut it to the desired length with a hacksaw, then file the edges to avoid sharp edges.
- Wall corner: If installing the rail in a corner, use special connectors for a clean finish.
- Adequate spacing: Leave space between the rail and ceiling for easier installation and use.
Once installed, the R10 Newly system offers an elegant and practical solution for hanging your artworks while ensuring a clean aesthetic.
