Chair Rail - Symmetrical & Reeded Door Casing Moulding Catalog

Chair rail mouldings are decorative transitional wood pieces that run parallel to the baseboard around the perimeter of a room. Since the early Greeks and Romans, these attractive dividing bands were installed between two styles of wall coverings, such as wallpaper, paint, or wainscoting, or simply fractionating the wall, making the room more aesthetically appealing to the architectural style. They provide the final touch to a room when crown mould is in place. There is a common misconception that these trim pieces' sole purpose is to protect the interior walls from damage caused by the backs of chairs. Chair rail is most commonly applied between twenty-eight and thirty-two inches above the floor in a home with standard eight-foot ceilings, or you can install these decorative trim pieces at twenty-five percent of the total ceiling height for larger rooms with ten to twelve-foot walls, keep in mind that the lower position creates more eye-catching visuals.
