How to fit skirting board or chair rail?
IQUBX SK031 is a very simple ready to install, pre-finished modern wall skirting board design. The aluminium profiles are first sized after taking measurements of the walls. The leftover waste pieces are cut to smaller sizes of width 1″ to 2″, to act as wall cleats. They are fixed to the wall with screws in an inverted or upside down manner. The main skirting board or chair rail profiles can then be simply snap-fitted on these cleats.
Chair rail can be a single run, just like the skirting board. Or it can have double run so that chamfered edges of the aluminium profile are towards outside.
How high do you fit a chair rail?
Since a chair rail is used for wall protection from chairs, it should be installed usually in between a dado height of 750 to 1200 mm. Several factors may dictate the final decision. For instance, what is the height of chair backs being used in the space, what is the total height of the ceiling, is the dado being used (as the dado will usually finish off at the chair rail).
