What Are Dado Rails?
Dado rails, also known as chair rails, are horizontal mouldings that run around the perimeter of a room, typically at waist height. Originally designed to protect walls from damage by chairs, they are now a popular decorative feature, adding architectural interest to spaces. If you’re looking for other decorative mouldings, our Panel Moulding can also bring extra detail to your interiors.
Durability and Materials
Our high-quality dado rails are made from MDF, a durable and versatile material that provides excellent resistance to warping and moisture. This makes them suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways and dining rooms. For more traditional options, you can also explore our Victorian Skirting Boards, which pair well with dado rails for a classic look.
Customisation Options
Available in various profiles, finishes, and sizes, our dado rails for sale can be customised to suit your personal style and room dimensions. Whether you’re looking for a subtle design or a more elaborate profile, we offer a range of choices. If you prefer a minimalist approach, our Square Edge Architrave offers clean lines and a simple finish.
Best Uses for Dado Rails
Dado rails are often used in hallways, dining rooms, and living spaces to add a touch of sophistication. They also help break up larger wall areas, creating a visual divide between different wall colours or textures.
Installation Tips
Installing dado rails is straightforward and can be done using adhesive or nails. Before securing the rails, make sure to measure the height carefully and ensure they are level around the room.
