A wood edge — referred to as a seat rail by interior designers — is one of stacked wood, or numerous pieces, mounted onto a wall 30 to 36 inches from the ground. The seat rail was created to protect wall surfaces from harm but serves the dual-function of supplying decorative interest. Dividing the wall into two regions allows you to use a composite of wall-covering colours or textures to add impact and dimension. This is an easy and affordable do-it-yourself endeavor for the homeowner or home seller who wants to stage his home for sale.
Mark a line around the whole room where the top of the seat rail will sit, using your flat along with also a chalk line or painter’s tape for marking.
Mark where wall studs are located together with your painter’s tape.
Mark miter cuts the seat rail bits that will satisfy an outer corner. For pieces that join in a corner, then set the initial piece flush into the wall and then cut on a cropped joint in the second piece, which allows you to butt the two bits up against each other.
Twist second and third layers of bits, if appropriate, when making a multilevel seat rail configuration using multiple-width pieces. Interior design and building professionals call this type of built-up assembly.
Cut the miter marks created in Step 3 using your saw. Examine the item for a proper match before adhering it to the wall using glue and nails.
Apply glue to some squared-off piece of seat rail wood and butt it against the door or window frame to begin the installation. Drive a nail at each end and at the middle to guarantee the wood bits.
Repeat, butting another wood piece against the conclusion of the previous piece.
Use finishing nails as required to finish and secure chair rail bits.
