DADO RAIL
The
dado rail is conventionally part of the dado or wainscot and, although the reason
of the dado is mainly aesthetic in modern homes. The dado rail still provides
the wall with shield from furniture and other contact.
Customarily, the height of the dado rail is around 36" or 900 mm, which was a appropriate height to protect the wall from the backs of chairs.
Since the original purpose of the dado treatment is not appropriate in modern homes, it is common to see dado rails at 1200 mm or even 1500 mm from the floor.
