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.
