Top Rail Ceiling Picture Rail
The Top Rail is the smallest rail that can be placed on the ceiling or in a store window.
It's the ideal solution when a wall mount isn't available or when you want to hang a picture rail in the middle of a room. The Top Rail also has a huge advantage: it takes up minimal space and is therefore extremely discreet.

Yes, Artiteq brand products are guaranteed for 5 years by the manufacturer. This warranty applies, of course, to the extent that the products are used properly and comply with their stated technical specifications.
Can the picture rails be removed once installed?
Picture rails are not designed to be removed and reinstalled. The rails are designed to support a certain weight (minimum 20 kg), so the fixings are not easily removed. If you still want to uninstall them, this could damage your wall as well as the rail (which may no longer be usable afterward).
