FAQs
Can I use these mouldings in a bathroom?
While the wood is durable, ensure it is thoroughly sealed with a moisture-resistant primer and high-quality gloss or satin paint to prevent warping in humid conditions.
Do I need special tools to install this kit?
Basic DIY tools are sufficient, including a spirit level, tape measure, pencil, a fine-tooth saw for corner miters, and a hammer or adhesive gun.
What is the best way to handle corners?
Use a miter box to cut the ends of the strips at a 45-degree angle to ensure a tight, seamless fit at both internal and external corners.
Can these be installed on wallpaper?
It is strongly recommended to install directly onto a sound, plastered wall. Adhesives may fail if applied over loose or textured wallpaper.
Does the kit include end caps?
The kit focuses on the main dado rail strips; you may need to purchase or fashion separate end caps if your run does not terminate at a corner.
Troubleshooting
Moulding does not sit flush against the wall
Check the wall for minor undulations; if the wall is bowed, use a flexible construction adhesive to bridge gaps and pin the strip until the glue sets.
Paint finish looks uneven
Ensure the wood has been sanded smooth and a proper wood primer has been applied to seal the grain before applying your final color coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and flat. Mark your desired height—typically 900mm to 1000mm from the floor—using a laser level or chalk line. Use a high-strength wood adhesive or hidden panel pins to secure the strips to the wall. For long-term care, dust the mouldings regularly with a soft cloth. If the rail becomes scuffed or damaged, the wood can be lightly sanded and touched up with your original paint or stain to maintain its appearance.
