Product Information
Full details
The National Skirting Jive Dado Rail is designed for homeowners and interior decorators looking to add architectural detail and wall protection to their living spaces. Its standout feature is its inverted curved design, which provides a clean, sophisticated transition on walls while guarding against furniture knocks and surface wear. While it is highly durable and moisture-resistant, users should note that it arrives pre-primed and requires a final topcoat of paint to achieve a finished, professional look.

FAQs
Is this rail made of natural wood?
No, it is crafted from a high-quality, moisture-resistant material designed to be more durable and consistent than traditional timber.
Can I install this in a bathroom?
Yes, its moisture-resistant properties make it suitable for installation in high-moisture environments like bathrooms.
Do I need to paint it?
Yes, the rail arrives pre-primed. You must apply a final coat of paint to achieve the desired color and finish.
How do I cut the rails to length?
You can cut the material using a standard fine-tooth handsaw or a power mitre saw for cleaner, more accurate results.
Can it be installed over wallpaper?
It is recommended to install directly onto a solid wall surface. Wallpaper may need to be stripped back in the area where the adhesive is applied to ensure a strong bond.
Troubleshooting
Joints do not sit flush
Use a mitre block when cutting corners to ensure precise 45-degree angles for a seamless fit.
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the pre-primed surface is lightly sanded with fine-grit sandpaper and wiped free of dust before applying the topcoat.
Rail is pulling away from the wall
Check that the wall surface was primed or sealed prior to installation. If it is a masonry wall, ensure you use enough adhesive or mechanical fasteners.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Resistant to moisture and humidity
- Consistent material quality without knots or splinters
- Easier to install than traditional raw timber
- Pre-primed surface saves time on decoration
Cons
- Requires a final topcoat of paint
- Cutting requires proper dust management

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, measure the wall length accurately and cut the rails using a fine-tooth saw to prevent chipping the edges. Ensure the wall surface is clean and dry before applying a heavy-duty adhesive, reinforcing the rail with small nails if necessary.
Compatibility: It works well with most standard wall types, including plasterboard and masonry.
Care: The pre-primed finish is temporary. Always apply a high-quality water-based or oil-based paint finish to protect the material from scuffs. If the rail becomes dirty, simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might scratch the finished paint surface.
