Border Strips

Create visual separation and intricate framing. The perfect dividing line for two-toned walls and wallpaper installations.

Why Choose Border Strips?

Border strips, including chair rails and dado rails, are indispensable tools for sophisticated wall design. They allow you to seamlessly divide a wall horizontally, creating the perfect opportunity to combine different textures, paint colors, or wallpapers in a single room without messy transitions.

Key Features & Benefits

• Perfect Transitions: Creates a crisp, physical barrier between a dark lower wall color and a light upper wall color, eliminating the need for difficult freehand cutting-in with paint.
• Wall Protection: When installed at chair height (approx. 32-36 inches), border strips protect the wall from being scuffed by the backs of dining chairs and armchairs.
• Wallpaper Framing: Ideal for capping off a half-wall of luxury wallpaper, or creating intricate panel borders on ceilings and walls.

Design Styles Available

We offer classic carved wood dado rails, sleek modern metal divider strips, and lightweight, easy-to-install polyurethane borders featuring ornate egg-and-dart or dentil detailing.

Border Strips add architectural detail, visual refinement, and a polished finishing touch to interior spaces. Made from PU (Polyurethane), PS (Polystyrene), or MDF, our border strips collection transforms plain walls and ceilings into elegantly framed surfaces that evoke classical European grandeur or sleek contemporary sophistication — depending on the profile chosen.

PU (polyurethane) border strips offers the highest level of detail reproduction and flexibility. It can be bent around curved surfaces, accepts paint beautifully, and is lightweight enough for ceiling installation without heavy structural support. PS (polystyrene) options provide similar aesthetics at a more budget-friendly price point.

Wall & Floor Home Interior carries hundreds of border strips profiles in various sizes, from delicate 3 cm trims to grand 20 cm crown mouldings. Our team provides design guidance on combining profiles to create layered, architectural wall and ceiling compositions.

Ideal Applications

Installation Process

1. Layout Planning — Mark the moulding positions on walls/ceilings using a laser level and pencil lines.
2. Cutting — Use a mitre saw for precise 45° angle cuts at corners and joints.
3. Adhesive Application — Apply PU construction adhesive to the back of each moulding piece.
4. Positioning — Press the moulding firmly into position along the marked line. Use pin nails for temporary support while adhesive cures.
5. Finishing — Fill nail holes and joints with acrylic caulk, sand smooth, and paint to match your wall color scheme.

Care & Maintenance

• Dust moulding profiles regularly with a soft brush or microfiber cloth.
• Touch up paint as needed to cover scuffs or marks.
• Re-caulk joints if any cracks appear due to building settlement.
• Inspect adhesion points annually, especially on ceiling-mounted profiles.
