Softwood Scotia Picture Rail 20 x 44 x 3600mm
The Softwood Scotia Picture Rail 20 x 44 x 3600mm is a traditional interior architectural moulding engineered to provide a decorative wall accent while serving the functional purpose of hanging picture frames. Designed for professional carpenters, joiners, and interior fitters, it is traditionally installed horizontally around the perimeter of a room a few feet below the ceiling line.
Machined from high-quality, sustainable softwood, this Scotia profile features a classic concave hollow curve that adds subtle shadow lines and period character to walls. Retaining the natural warmth, grain, and texture of real timber, it is well-suited for heritage restorations, Victorian or Edwardian properties, or rooms where traditional picture hanging hooks are utilized. It can be finished on-site with a natural wood stain, clear varnish, or painted to coordinate with the wall or trim color.
Supplied in standard 3.6-metre lengths with dimensions of 20mm thickness and 44mm width, it can be easily cross-cut, mitered at corners, and fixed directly to wall studs or plaster using panel pins, masonry nails, or appropriate adhesives. It serves as an essential, high-quality trade consumable for traditional interior fit-outs seeking authentic timber wall detailing.
They are sometimes used in tall rooms to optically reduce the height of the walls
