What is the difference between a chair rail and wainscoting?
1 Answer
The difference between a chair rail and wainscoting is placement and coverage. A chair rail is a piece of molding placed around 30 to 36 inches above the floor that is usually 2 to 3 inches wide. Wainscoting is paneling that usually travels from the chair rail to the floor, covering the lower half of a wall. On 1stDibs, find a variety of moulding.
