Wainscot Panels, Selecting A Style

Cove Raised Panel Wainscoting exhibits contoured edges along the frame, rendering a groove and an aesthetically appealing three-dimensional panel in the center. Although more expensive in cost, it remains the most popular choice.

Standard Recessed Panel Wainscoting exhibits contoured edges along the frame surrounding a thinner, flat panel. This style renders a recessed appearance in the center.

Raised Rim Recessed Panel Wainscoting exhibits a non-contoured frame surrounding a flat inset panel. A rebated moulding sits within the recess and extends beyond the frame, rendering a profoundly recessed profile.

Beadboard Wainscoting is the simplest to install and most versatile of all the traditional styles. Beadboard is a relatively narrow tongue-and-groove board with a milled profile. Typical profiles include a V-groove or beaded edge.

SELECTING A STYLE

True to tradition, we use the time-honored methond of frame and panel assembly; we do not use embossed profiles.

For a simple and quant cottage style, use beadboard wainscoting. It compliments country and Colonial design schemes well. Consider a more formal frame and panel wainscoting for Victorian and Queen Anne styles.
