Millwork Design by Oxford AB311FJ, 1-5/16 in. x 2 in. Chair Rail Moulding, Primed Finger-Jointed Pine, 16 ft.

Historically used to protect walls from damage caused by the backs of chairs today, chair rails are primarily used for decorative purposes to break up large expanses of wall space. Chair rails are typically installed parallel to the floor, usually about 30 to 36 inches above the floor level, although the height can vary depending on personal preference and the specific design of the room.
