Crafted for Detail and Durability

Our Solid Oak Dado Rail is precision-machined for crisp edges and clean, flowing moulding lines that enhance any interior. Each piece is carefully cut from high-grade, kiln-dried oak to ensure stability, strength, and a superior surface finish.

Oak’s natural durability makes it ideal for interior wall protection — unlike softwoods, it resists dents, impacts, and wear, ensuring your dado rail continues to look beautiful for years to come.

European Oak and American Red Oak Options

Choose from two premium hardwood species to complement your design aesthetic:

• European Oak – Renowned for its golden tone and tight, even grain, perfect for traditional interiors, country homes, or classic wall panelling.

• American Red Oak – Offers a slightly warmer hue with a more open grain, ideal for contemporary interiors seeking texture and natural warmth.

Both species are sustainably sourced, expertly machined, and easy to finish to your desired colour tone.

Traditional Function, Modern Appeal

Historically used to divide wall finishes and protect plaster from chairs and furniture, the oak dado rail remains a popular architectural feature today. Whether you’re recreating a period Georgian look or adding definition to a modern feature wall, oak dado rails bring depth, proportion, and texture to any space.

They can also be used as part of oak wall panelling, picture rails, or mid-height decorative mouldings to create bespoke interior schemes with natural warmth and craftsmanship.

Easy to Install and Finish

Supplied planed smooth and ready to finish, the oak dado rail can be easily cut and fixed to any interior wall. It’s compatible with adhesives, nails, or screws, and can be mitred neatly at corners for a professional finish.

Once installed, simply apply your preferred finish — a clear oil to highlight the natural grain, a stain or varnish to match existing joinery, or a painted finish for a more contemporary twist.

Sustainably Sourced and Responsibly Made

We take pride in using only sustainably sourced hardwoods from responsibly managed European and North American forests. Each length is kiln-dried for stability and machined with precision to ensure the highest quality.

By choosing oak, you’re investing in a renewable and long-lasting material that combines elegance, performance, and environmental responsibility.

Timeless Detail for Every Interior

Our Solid Oak Dado Rail offers the perfect finishing touch for any room. Whether you’re restoring a period property, designing a panelled feature wall, or simply adding definition to a painted surface, this classic oak moulding provides the ideal combination of style, substance, and sustainability.

Choose solid oak – naturally beautiful, durable, and crafted to last.
