What is wainscoting?

During the first days of construction of the house, the inner walls often suffered from the effect of the wick called growing humidity. In an effort to strengthen the lower third of the wall and create a little camouflage, the builders added wooden panels called wainscoting. These wooden slats in the tongue spread upwards from the base plates and end anywhere from three to eight feet to the wall. The upper part of the wainscoting is limited by a piece of formation to prevent the chair from damaging the wall. The effect of dark wood against a lighter gypsum wall also provides a pleasant visual contrast. Most modern wainscoting panels are cut between 36 and 42 inches, approximately 1 to 1.5 meters. Wainscoting can also be used other materials such as tiles and vinyl lining. The intention is to define approximately one third of the wall surface for decorative intest. Modern wainscoting is still limited by protruding form of formation to protect the wall from damage to chairs.

Not all modern designers accepted the attraction of wainscoting. Since the individual panels must be processed and cut into length, they can be quite expensive. Wainscoting can be a tiring process, especially if it is to be used in large areas. Further forming must also be purchased, processed and installed. If other materials such as tiles are used, workers must be very accurate during installation. Some designers and builders of houses consider it easier to use a contrasting wallpaper or color to create a wainscoting effect without added cost and time.

For those who are interested in adding wainscoting to the existing room, several lessons about installation can be useful. Getting individual panels from the local shop with improving the home will be difficult to be difficult, but to learn how to maintain the level of work and safe can be challenging. Pressing to close Wainscoting can also be very expensive, so be prepared for several test cuts on scrapD by using a miter saw for a real thing.
