A PU chair rail is a chair rail made from PU, with the same practical and aesthetic advantages as other PU products. The chair rail is a horizontal molding applied to the wall at a height of approximately one-third of the wall's height, with the purpose of protecting the wall from chair backs and adding a horizontal break to the wall.
The most common PU chair rail application is a residential interior. A chair rail in a dining room, a living room, a hallway, or a bedroom, with the chair rail coordinating with the room's other trim (baseboard, cornice, panel molding).
A second common application is a commercial interior. A chair rail in a restaurant, a hotel, an office, or a retail space, with the chair rail protecting the wall from chair backs and adding a design element to the room.
A third common application is a healthcare or educational facility. A chair rail in a hospital corridor, a classroom, or a waiting room, with the chair rail protecting the wall from impact and adding a design element.
For sourcing, PU chair rail is a stock product at most factories. The factory offers a range of standard chair rail profiles (simple, stepped, cove, classical) and standard widths (40 to 100 millimeters), with quick lead times and competitive pricing.
A practical install note: a PU chair rail is installed at the right height (90 to 100 centimeters off the floor for standard ceilings), with construction adhesive and brad nails. The chair rail should be level, with the joints at the corners (cope for inside corners, miter for outside corners) filled with paintable caulk.
A practical note on the height. The chair rail height should be proportional to the room. The classical rule is one-third of the wall height, but modern applications can be more flexible. A 90 to 100 centimeter chair rail works for most standard rooms; a 100 to 110 centimeter chair rail works for taller rooms; a 110 to 130 centimeter chair rail works for formal rooms with high ceilings.
