Wainscot

Traditional Raised Panel Wainscot

Wainscot Panels & Moldings

Wainscot Paneling, derived from the basic idea of lining a wall with boards, has been a popular interior décor choice for centuries since its early European influence. Historically this style of paneling was used to insulate interior common areas to create a warm and inviting environment, while also covering any inconsistencies of a bare wall such as from moisture/water damage.

The primary function of today’s Wainscoting has transformed, to generally serve a decorative purpose. There are many variations of Wainscot styles made of a combination of materials and profiles. Wainscot Paneling acts as an enhancement to any room, whether a kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom, or even hallway or staircase, and can be applied from the floor to ceiling or from the floor midway up a wall, where a Wainscot Cap Molding is often used to transition from the paneling to the wall.

Wainscoting has now also crossed into the commercial spectrum, with many professional offices, waiting rooms and the like adding interior wainscot paneling to bring character and personality into the common office setting.

Whether you are looking to dress up a residential or commercial space, WalzCraft offers various Wainscot styles to suit any project and installation requirements. As always, your choice of Stain, SolidTone, and Glaze finish options are available for all Wainscot styles, on your choice of available standard wood species.

Wainscot Kit Molding and Panels

Panel Moldings are a great cost-effective way to create a custom decorative wall treatment that can suit a room of any size and shape. Paired with Base Trim and often Chair Rail Molding, Panel Moldings allow you to create your own Wainscot look, with the added convenience of planning and executing your design on site. This helps you to avoid costly measuring errors and to build your wall treatment around the natural obstacles of a room (such as windows, doorways, and vents).

Panel Moldings can be applied directly to a wall or onto any material lining a wall such as plywood or MDF panels. Assembling your choice of Panel Molding into frame shapes achieves the look of a panel, while the addition of a Base Trim at the floor and Chair Rail Molding or horizontal application of your Panel Molding running the perimeter of the room, helps to create the feel of a bottom & top rail above and below each panel shape. Any choice of finish can be applied to this molding application to match or contrast the decor of your walls. To achieve a more unique look, any choice of wallpaper or contrasting color can be applied inside the created panel areas.

WalzCraft offers a large range of moldings that can be used as Panel Moldings

To complete this look, add WalzCraft’s Base & Chair Rail Molding to your design. Window Sill & Casing Moldings can also help to create a finished look when trimming out the doorways and windows surrounding your panel creations.
