how high up does chair rail go from the base board
ow high up does chair rail go from the base board
chair rail was used to protect the wall from damage by the tops
of the chairs. so to be consistent with practicality of tradition. put the
rail at the height of the chair backs. then it will look like you know
what you're doing, rather than just trying to decorate a room.
Standard diminsion is 32'' from the finished floor to the
bottom of the chair rail.
Old method: Take a chair and slide it towards the wall backwards. Just
before it hits the wall mark where the chair would of hit the wall. Instal
your chair rail to prevent the chair from hitting the wall.
Generally installed at around 36 inches high, chair rail is
very simple to install and can easily be handled by most homeowners. The
material used is a strip of molding available at any home center. Simply
match the style with that of either your crown molding or the overall
style of your room.
Typically, the ''Bulb'' is set between 32'' and 34'' above the
floor.
Traditionally, chair rail was installed at the same height as the backs of
the chairs, to protect the walls from being damaged by them.
If you want to make the ceiling appear a little taller, lower your chair rail an inch or two. To make it seem larger, raise it a bit.
32 inches from baseboard or 36 inches from floor
I set the top or the chair at 32 above finish floor. Really
anywhere between 30 and 36 is standard. Your question depends on how tall
your base board is.
