How to Install Wainscoting
Pretty and practical, beaded-board wainscoting updates a room without breaking your budget. Wainscoting adds character and architectural detail in just a few hours.
Preparation
- Several days before painting or installation, acclimate the panels to your house. Stack them horizontally, placing thin blocks of wood between the panels so air can circulate. This allows any excess moisture to escape and helps reduce expansion or contraction.
- Remove any base moldings in the room where you will be applying the panels; you'll add new ones to complete the project.
- If your panels are unfinished, you may want to paint or stain them before installation.
- Note: Use safety equipment for the cutting, sanding, and painting necessary to complete the project.
