Bar Rail Overview

Bar Rail molding is a specialized molding profile designed to create a comfortable and stylish edge on bar tops. This molding features a rounded, curved profile that provides a smooth, contoured surface, making it comfortable to rest your arms or elbows. It’s a classic detail often found in both home and commercial bars, adding a finished and professional look to the bar’s edge.

Profile Description

  • Features a prominent curved (convex) shape that creates a rounded, cushioned edge.
  • The upper portion is typically thicker and gently slopes downward to provide a comfortable resting area.
  • The bottom edge may have a secondary, smaller curve or flat surface to create a seamless transition to the bar surface.
  • Often designed to fit snugly against the bar’s edge, it provides a continuous, flowing profile from the top of the bar down to the sides.

Purpose

  • Provides a comfortable and ergonomic resting spot for arms and elbows when seated at the bar.
  • Adds a decorative and professional finishing touch to bar tops, enhancing the overall appearance.
  • Protects the edge of the bar from wear and tear, extending the life of the bar surface.

Common Uses

Home Bars: Used to create a polished and comfortable edge for home bar installations, making them look more like professional setups.

Commercial Bars: Commonly found in pubs, restaurants, and bars to provide a comfortable and stylish finishing detail.

Kitchen Islands: Occasionally used on kitchen islands with an overhanging countertop to create a bar-like seating area.

Game Rooms: Popular in game rooms or entertainment spaces where a bar setup is desired, adding to the room’s ambiance and functionality.

How a Profile Molding Knife Works

  1. The profile knife itself is a piece of metal designed to be attached to a planer or molding machine.
  2. The profile of the cutting edge replicates the specific design of the bar rail molding you want to create.
  3. By running wood planks through the machine with the profile knife attached, the wood is shaped into the desired bar rail molding profile.
