Choosing the Best Bar Rail for Your Project: A Guide

Adding a bar rail to your home bar can take it from so-so to stunning. Bar rails feature rounded edges, softening the sharp corners or bar tops and other pieces, providing a spot for your guests to comfortably rest their arms.

At Hardwoods Incorporated, our bar rails come in a variety of profiles and finishes. There’s an option for every type and style of home bar, from rustic and simple to ultra-ornate.

BR-450

bar top rail - BR-450
The BR-450 bar rail is one of our simplest, most affordable options that still provides a beautiful, polished finish to your home bar. It features a gentle slope and rounded edge, and is perfect for staining in a variety of finishes.

They are made with 3/4” x 1 3/4” notches, ready to install on any single- or double-layer bar top at least 3/4” thick.

The BR-450 can be paired with an optional drip edge to create a sleek apron along the under edge of the bar top, as pictured below:

Our BR-158 bar rail is a popular choice for small bars, drink rails, or even bar seating along a wall, where the flatter profile is essential for saving space. Its gently curving front edge provides detail and interest.

The BR-158 bar rails are 1 5/8” x 2 1/2” and are easy to install on any bar top kit.

The BR-475 Chicago bar rail is a classic choice for home and commercial bars alike. Its gentle sloping front provides comfort for you and your guests while showcasing the beauty of the wood. The back features two notches, making it perfect for use on a double-layer bar.

The 4 3/4”-wide bar rail is easy to install and gives your bar a professional look and feel.

  1. Looking through your bar rail molding options, I like BR-475. Size, support, angle, and design match appropriately in our setting. My hardship is the bar is a single layer of Maple veneer with a 90* side profile. I think the installation looks much more like your ‘single-layer’ BR-450. If I provided pictures and dimensions, could you custom-cut the BR 475 in a way that installs it on a single-edge bar? Or is the double edge required for strength and stability due to its size, etc.?
