About: Dado rail

An Entity of Type: Whole100003553, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

A dado rail, also known as a chair rail or surbase, is a type of moulding fixed horizontally to the wall around the perimeter of a room. The dado rail is traditionally part of the dado or wainscot and, although the purpose of the dado is mainly aesthetic, the dado rail may provide the wall with protection from furniture and other contact. Traditionally, the height of the dado rail is derived from the height of the pedestal of a column of classical order, typically 24 inches (610 mm) from the floor or about one-fifth the height of the room. Modern trends have been towards 36 inches or 900 mm, based on the assumption that its purpose is to protect the wall from chair backs. The term 'chair rail' is also used for this reason.

  • A dado rail, also known as a chair rail or surbase, is a type of moulding fixed horizontally to the wall around the perimeter of a room. The dado rail is traditionally part of the dado or wainscot and, although the purpose of the dado is mainly aesthetic, the dado rail may provide the wall with protection from furniture and other contact. Traditionally, the height of the dado rail is derived from the height of the pedestal of a column of classical order, typically 24 inches (610 mm) from the floor or about one-fifth the height of the room. Modern trends have been towards 36 inches or 900 mm, based on the assumption that its purpose is to protect the wall from chair backs. The term 'chair rail' is also used for this reason. Dado rails are also sometimes applied to a wall without the full dado treatment. The purpose of the rail in these cases may be protective, and it is common in environments where walls are subject to much wear and tear, such as shopping centres and hospitals. In such cases the height of the rail is often 1200 mm or even 1500 mm from the floor and serves a functional rather than aesthetic role. (en)
  • Un riel del dado, también conocido como riel de silla​ o moldura del dado, es un tipo de moldura fijada horizontalmente a la pared interior alrededor del perímetro de una habitación. El riel o moldura del dado es tradicionalmente parte del dado o revestimiento y, aunque el propósito del dado es principalmente estético, el riel del dado puede proporcionar a la pared una protección contra los muebles u otro tipo de contactos. Tradicionalmente, su altura se deriva de la altura del pedestal de una columna de orden clásico,​ típicamente a 61 centímetros del suelo o aproximadamente a un quinto de la altura de la habitación. Las tendencias modernas llevan la altura a unos 91 centímetros,​ basándose en el supuesto de que su propósito principal fuese proteger la pared de los respaldos de las sillas. Por eso también se utiliza el término de "carril de silla" o "riel de silla". A veces, estas molduras se aplican a una pared sin llegar a cubrir completamente el dado. El propósito en estos casos puede ser solo protector, y es común en entornos donde las paredes están sujetas a mucho desgaste, como los centros comerciales y los hospitales. En tales casos, la altura del riel suele ser de 120 centímetros o incluso de 150 desde el suelo y sirve de forma más funcional que estética. (es)
