FAQs

At what height should I install the dado rail?

Typically, dado rails are installed at approximately 900mm to 1000mm from the floor, though this can be adjusted based on your ceiling height and personal preference.

Can I use this rail in a bathroom?

While it can be installed in most rooms, ensure you use moisture-resistant paint and seal the edges with a high-quality caulk to prevent moisture ingress in humid environments.

Do I need to sand the primer before painting?

A very light sanding is recommended to remove any dust or imperfections picked up during transit, which will provide the best possible finish.

Is the material wood or plastic?

The Torus Dado Rail is constructed from wood, providing the durability and aesthetic appeal of traditional timber molding.

Can I use wood glue to install it?

While high-strength construction adhesive is recommended for mounting to the wall, wood glue is excellent for joining corners and miters.

Troubleshooting

The rail appears uneven after installation

Use a laser level or long spirit level to mark your height line precisely before fixing the rail to the wall.

Paint is not adhering well to the primer

Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (240 grit) to create texture and wipe away dust before applying the topcoat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic woodworking tools including a miter saw for corner joints and a spirit level to ensure a straight line. Always allow the wood to acclimate to the room's temperature for 24 hours before fixing. For maintenance, keep the rail clean by dusting regularly with a soft cloth. If the rail becomes marked, a light sanding followed by a quick touch-up with your matching topcoat will restore it to original condition.
