What is molding halfway up a wall called?
1 Answer

What molding halfway up the wall is called depends on its position and size. A narrow piece of molding that travels all the way around the room is called a chair rail. Molding or paneling that extends from halfway down the wall to the floor is usually referred to as wainscoting. Shop a collection of building elements on 1stDibs.
