Description

The Perfect Finish: Alhambra Blue Glazed Dado Rail

Elevate your tiling project with the professional touch of the Alhambra Blue 5 x 15cm Dado Rail. Designed to perfectly complement the Alhambra Blue collection, this moulded trim provides a refined, architectural edge to your interior design.

A high-end tile installation is defined by the details. The Alhambra Blue Dado is an essential finishing piece, used to cap off a half-tiled wall or to create a decorative "chair rail" transition between different surface finishes. Like the corresponding field tiles, the Dado features the collection's signature translucent blue glaze. Because the glaze pools over the moulded curves of the rail, it highlights the architectural profile with a beautiful play of light and shadow—creating deep sapphire tones in the recesses and lighter cobalt hues on the raised edges. This piece ensures your bathroom or kitchen has a cohesive, "built-in" look that mimics traditional Mediterranean craftsmanship.


✓ Why Use an Alhambra Dado Trim?

  • Professional Capping - Hides raw tile edges and creates a clean transition between tiles and paint or wallpaper.
  • Coordinated Glaze - Finished in the same rich, translucent Alhambra Blue as the 15cm and 22.5cm tiles for a seamless match.
  • Architectural Interest - The moulded profile adds a classic, "period-property" charm to modern spaces.
  • Durable Protection - Protects tile edges from impact and provides a wipe-clean top surface for half-tiled walls.

⚠️ Professional Fitting Tips

  • Ordering: Always order 10% extra to allow for cuts, especially if your layout involves mitred corners.
  • Corners: For external corners, these rails are usually mitred (cut at a 45-degree angle). We recommend using a high-quality electric wet saw for a clean finish.
  • Alignment: Ensure the Dado rail is perfectly level, as any deviation will be highly visible against a painted wall.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to use a Dado rail?

While not strictly required, a Dado rail is highly recommended for any "half-tiled" wall. Without a trim, the top edge of your tiles is left raw and exposed. The Dado rail hides this edge and provides a much more professional, high-end finish.

Does it match the 22.5cm long Alhambra tiles?

Yes. Although the Dado rail is 15cm long, it is finished in the exact same translucent Alhambra Blue glaze. It is common practice to use a 15cm trim with either 15cm or 22.5cm field tiles; simply align the grout joints where possible or use a brick-bond layout.

How do I handle corners?

Dado rails are usually "mitred" at the corners. This involves cutting the ends of two rails at a 45-degree angle so they meet neatly to turn the corner. This requires a steady hand or a professional wet saw.
