Help needed

Posted by Carole Smith, on
Looking for a cheap alternative to wood. Is it possible to utilise Polyurethane or Polystyrene to make a dado rail. Thanks

Hi Carol polystyrene would not be suitable to use as it would not stand up to knocks or scrapes. You could use a pvc trim or something similar but I doubt if it would cost much less and it doesn't have the same aesthetics. Stick to the timber ! Ed
