Traditionally, chair rail is installed at a height that aligns with the top of a standard dining chair, a practice rooted in practicality and protection. However, in the realm of interior design, this standard is only a starting point.
Typically, the chair rail finds its ideal placement at about one-third the height of the room, a rule that ensures balance and harmony within the space. But the true height of the chair rail should be determined not just by measurement, but by a keen understanding of space, proportion, and the interplay of design elements.
Typically, a custom chair rail order takes between one to three weeks from concept to completion. This timeframe reflects our commitment to excellence. Our master millworkers ensure that every detail of your custom chair rail embodies the highest standards of quality and design.
However, for larger projects or more intricate designs, it may take longer. We recommend contacting us to discuss your specific needs for a more accurate estimate.
Yes, our woodworkers can replicate any existing or historic chair rail profile. When presented with a sample of the chair rail profile that demands matching, or detailed photographs, drawings, or even precise CAD files, our skilled artisans rise to the occasion.
This ability to match any profile is not just a service; it demonstrates our mastery over the craft, a testament to our attention to detail. In entrusting us with this task, you are not only seeking a replication; you are invoking a legacy of craftsmanship that honors the past while embracing the present.
The heart of our selection is classic domestic hardwoods, each with its own story and allure. Oak, with its robust and enduring nature; Cherry, renowned for its rich, warm hues; Maple, celebrated for its fine, consistent grain; Pine, a symbol of timeless charm; Walnut, exuding an air of sophistication; and Mahogany, the epitome of luxury.
These woods are the foundation of our collection, chosen for their ability to transform a space with their natural beauty. For those with an eye for the exotic, we also offer rare and unique hardwoods like Brazilian cherry, Honduran mahogany, and Spanish cedar.
To maintain the condition of your chair rail, regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth is the first and most basic step. This ensures that the accumulation of everyday dust and debris does not mar the wood grain and the finish.
For deeper cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by an immediate dry wipe. It’s crucial to avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the wood’s finish, diminishing its luster.
In environments where the chair rail may be exposed to more direct contact or potential wear, occasional touch-ups with a matching wood finish can be used to restore any minor imperfections.
Chair rail and wainscoting, while often found in tandem, serve distinct purposes. A chair rail, typically a horizontal molding, is installed along the wall at the height of a chair back, primarily to protect the wall from damage. It also serves as a decorative divider, adding a touch of elegance to a room.
Wainscoting, on the other hand, is a more extensive treatment, consisting of paneling that covers the lower part of a wall. Its origins are practical – providing insulation and protection – but it has evolved into a significant design element, adding depth, texture, and a stately character to a space.
Yes, chair rail offers the flexibility to be either painted or stained, depending on the desired aesthetic.
Painting allows for a seamless integration with the color scheme of the room, providing a harmonious and refined appearance. Staining, on the other hand, enhances the natural beauty of the wood, showcasing its grain and texture, and lending an air of classic, understated luxury.
Absolutely, this service is a reflection of our commitment to your satisfaction and confidence in your choice, allowing you to experience firsthand the quality and aesthetic of our product.
In this way, you can make an informed decision, secure in the knowledge that your choice embodies the excellence and refinement befitting your space.
