Will dado rail fitting suit an older property in Sandhurst?
A lot of Sandhurst housing is Georgian property and Victorian villa, where walls are rarely square and floors rarely level. We scribe and pack rather than force a fit, which is why dado rail fitting in older TN1 homes needs measuring on site rather than ordering off a plan.

What height should a dado rail be in Sandhurst?
Traditionally, dado rails sit at approximately one-third of the wall height — typically around 90cm to 100cm from the floor. We adjust this to suit your room's proportions.

Yes — dado rails look particularly effective when combined with panelling below the rail and plain or wallpapered walls above. It creates a classic two-tone effect.
