Details

Colored cork map rail with heavy-duty, premium Plas-cork tack inserts. These premium display strips swap out the natural cork for a heavy duty (and still all natural) composite tack surface called Plas-Cork. Plas cork is available in tan or gray in lengths of 6, 8, 10, 12, or 16 feet. These ¼ " thick map rails are 1" tall and work with our 1" map rail accessories including: End plates, Combo clip hooks, map winder and flag holder (sold separately). Helpful Hint: Need a longer length? Many people simply line these up to make longer runs; for example, with 3 eight-foot map rails you can make a 24' run that will be able to ship UPS. The longer 8 to 16-foot lengths are available if you need them that long but please note these are too long for UPS and will need to ship via truck. Further, the 12 and 16' map rails require a custom freight quote, call us and we will provide a custom rate to your location.

I scoured Amazon and Lakeshore Learning before purchasing this product. Reviews for other cork stripping were mixed or largely negative. This came very well packed; though, a little difficult to open. The strips themselves are very well made and not cheap strip that is too thin or that has faulty adhesive. I am very happy with this product.
Love the product we will use it for years to come
Our college counselor requested these to display the numerous banners from all of the colleges our students end up attending. Serves the purpose well and makes it look much nicer than just tacking the flags to the walls!

Kevin from Madison Heights, Michigan asked:

Q
Can the map rail be cut and combined to produce the desired length either butting them and then cap them on the ends?
Answer
Yes. You can butt the ends up end to end and make any length tack rail that you need. You can cut the material with a simple hacksaw.

Amber from Utah asked:

Q
Can these fasten to a brick wall? If so, does it come with the hardware?
Answer
The cork maprails come with hardware for a dry wall install. You would just need masonry screws to fasten to a brick wall.

Rich from Pecatonica, IL asked:

Q
Do I have to purchase the End Plates in order to mount the Map Rail to a wall?  What function do the End Plates provide for the Map Rail?
Answer
Hello,


The map rail doesn't need end plates for mounting, but they help the cork stay in place so we highly recommend them. Here are the 1" map rail accessories.


Have a great day!
