What Our Customers Say
Purpose of Chair Rail Mouldings
The use of chair rail moulding or dado rail moulding originated in period homes, where it was used to create a sense of scale and proportion within a room. Traditionally installed to divide the wall, it added structure and balance to interior spaces.
Beyond their historical charm, chair rail mouldings serve a practical purpose as a wall trim, protecting walls from damage caused by chairs and other furniture. This functionality is just as valuable in modern homes, offices, and high-traffic commercial spaces.
From an aesthetic perspective, chair rail mouldings are a versatile design feature. They add elegance and visual interest to any room, whether you’re aiming for a classic or contemporary look. By drawing attention to the wall’s lower half, they create depth and complement a wide variety of interior styles.
