Intrim® CR14 timber chair rail is practical as well as decorative. Chair rails, also known as dado rails, were originally installed to protect walls from damage by chair backs, but are now used to give character and beautiful detail to a room. Adding a chair rail to your room is a subtle choice that makes a big impact, and perfectly complements a wainscoting design.
Available in 67mm wide and 30mm thick and crafted in FJ Pine, FJ Pine Primed. This style of moulding suits a French Provincial, French Parisian, and Georgian style interior.
Yes, it can be done, we have standard profiles with rebates or we can customise a thickness to accommodate a rebate if required.
What height is my chair rail installed at?
The formula we recommend for calculating your dado rail height is:
Wall height (finished floor level to ceiling) multiplied by 5 then times 2.
E.g 2.4/5 x 2 = 0.96
You would then apply your chair rail within 100mm of this number.
Do I need a chair rail for Wainscoting?
No, you don't however for lower third Wainscoting we recommend a chair rail to finish off the appearance.
Can I use chair rail in wet areas?
Yes, we would supply in a treated pine.
Does my chair rail and architrave thickness need to be the same?
No, however if your chair rail is thicker than your architrave any overhang of the chair rail would need to be champered at a 45 degree angle to finish it.
