What exactly is wainscoting?

Wainscoting is the process of attaching a decorative paneling at the bottom of your walls and creating a beautiful wall trim for your home. It has long been a way to protect walls from damage from things such as furniture, scuffs, foot traffic and even outside elements. However, wainscoting today has been used more as a decorative piece rather than for functionality. Its architectural beauty has stood the test of time and is still a popular way to remodel and dress up your home for both interior or exterior purposes.

Why should you Wainscot?

Using Wainscot panels come with numerous advantages. Here are some of the ways using a Wainscot should be your choice of trim.

• Adds texture and color to a plain wall
• Creates a stylized look to match your theme
• Cover up any damage at the bottom of your walls
• Adds an extra layer of protection to your walls.

Not only does a wainscot enhance the look of any wall, it also blends beauty with functionality.

What material should you use for Wainscoting?

Although there are many material options, we recommend mainly using either faux stone or faux brick for your project. Depending on your project, faux stone or faux brick provides the best modern and stylish wainscot.
