Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Ogee Picture Rail is designed for homeowners and interior decorators seeking a blend of classic architectural aesthetics and functional wall protection. Its primary benefit is the ability to display art and photos without the need to drill holes directly into your walls, while simultaneously acting as a decorative visual divide. A key caveat to keep in mind is that as it comes pre-primed in white, it requires a final coat of paint or finish to integrate seamlessly into your specific decor.

FAQs
Does this rail come with hardware for hanging pictures?
No, the rail is sold as the moulding profile. Picture hooks and cords must be purchased separately.
Can I install this rail on a curved wall?
This product is made of rigid moulding and is not designed for flexible installation on curved surfaces.
What kind of paint should I use?
Since it is pre-primed, you can use standard water-based emulsions, eggshell, or gloss paints depending on your desired sheen.
How high up the wall should I mount it?
Traditionally, picture rails are installed between 18 to 24 inches below the ceiling, though this can vary based on room proportions and personal preference.
Can I fix this rail using only glue?
While high-strength construction adhesive is recommended, it is strongly advised to use nails as well for a permanent, safe installation.
Troubleshooting
Visible gaps at the corners during installation
Use a miter saw to ensure 45-degree angles are precise and consider using wood filler before the final paint coat.
Rail feels loose after installation
Verify that you have used sufficient adhesive and that nails have been driven into solid wall studs rather than just the plasterboard.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, measure your wall length and cut the rail using a miter saw for clean corner joints. Use a combination of wood adhesive and finishing nails to secure the rail to the wall studs. Once installed, lightly sand the surface before applying your chosen finish to ensure maximum durability. To maintain the rail, wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth to prevent dust accumulation in the decorative Ogee grooves. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the wood fibers.
