Shadowline Masonry Picture Rail
$67.98
ArtiTeq Shadowline Masonry Picture Rail gives you the clean, architectural shadowline detail you want – and it quietly doubles as a fully functional picture rail. No wall-mounted rails after handover, no drilling into finished walls, and no “why didn’t the architect think of this?” moment six months after move-in.
It’s designed to be built in during construction. The rail disappears into the shadowline detail, with the hanging channel elegantly concealed at the ceiling edge.

Installation + FAQs
How is the Shadowline Masonry Picture Rail installed?
- Fix the rail to the masonry wall during the build or renovation phase, before final ceiling finishing.
- Install after render/wall finish, before installing the suspended ceiling structure. (It can also be used where wall linings go in before the ceiling structure – for example fire-rated construction.)
- Use the correct fixing density: 9 screws per 2.5 m rail (roughly every 25-30 cm). Choose plugs and screws to suit your wall substrate.
- The rail is not pre-drilled, so drill where you need solid fixing points and keep screw heads flush.
- Slide the plasterboard ceiling sheet into the rail flange and finish the junction with setting compound as part of the normal ceiling build.
Finishing tips
- Insert the ceiling lining sheet fully into the capture flange.
- Fix the plasterboard ceiling sheet to the shadowline rail every 600mm to prevent any sheet movement.
- Use adhesive paper tape at the junction to improve adhesion and crack resistance.
- Acrylic setting compounds are recommended to bond well to the rail’s primed finish.
Which hanging wires and hooks work with this rail?
Shadowline Masonry uses Twister hanging wires, which twist into the rail slot at any point along the track. You can then slide them left or right to fine-tune placement.
For the hanging line itself, choose:
- perlon (clear nylon) for a more invisible look
- steel wire for a cleaner, more architectural finish
Pair them with hooks and hanging wires based on the pictures’ weight. Most artworks sit comfortably within the system ratings – if you’re hanging something unusually heavy, we can help you choose the right combination.
Why choose Shadowline over wall-attached rails?
Completely invisible hardware, pristine walls, no repaint when you move or rotate art – installed by Australia’s best builders for upmarket residential, commercial, healthcare and aged care projects.
