Lincrusta Dado Panels – Traditional Embossed Wall Panelling

Lincrusta dado panels provide a decorative finish for the lower portion of interior walls. Their deeply embossed designs create architectural interest and can be combined with traditional dado rails, decorative borders and painted upper wall sections.

Dado panelling is particularly suitable for hallways, staircases, dining rooms and other interiors where a structured decorative finish is desired.

Where to Use Lincrusta Dado Panels

Dado panels are particularly effective in entrance halls and staircases, where a decorative lower-wall treatment can create a traditional architectural appearance. They can also be used in dining rooms, reception rooms and heritage-inspired interiors. The final height should be proportionate to the room and any existing dado rail.

Coordinating Dado Panels with Mouldings

Lincrusta dado panels can be combined with plaster or lightweight dado rails to provide a defined upper edge. Decorative friezes and borders may also be used as part of a coordinated design. When combining different patterns, consider their scale and decorative detail to avoid overwhelming the room.

Installation and Finishing

Correct alignment and suitable substrate preparation are important when installing embossed dado panels. Use the manufacturer’s recommended installation products and follow its instructions for pattern matching, joints and finishing. Lincrusta is normally decorated after installation, allowing the embossed design to be finished in a suitable colour or specialist paint effect.

Coordinating with Lincrusta Wallcoverings

Dado panels can be combined with full Lincrusta Wallcoverings above dado height, or with decorative friezes and borders to complete the scheme.
