Wainscoting is a type of decorative paneling applied to walls for extra protection against scuffing shoes or other items that might be hazardous to the lower half of the wall. It’s also spelled wainscot, or wainscotting.
While wainscoting has its practical uses, most homeowners or commercial property owners find wainscoting beneficial for decorative purposes. A plain or underwhelming surface can quickly become more interesting with intricate and ornate paneling. At Studio JDC, we think wainscoting makes a huge difference in your decor, and we think it should be designed and built specially for the space intended. We’ve provided dozens of happy customers (both residential and commercial spaces) with beautiful custom wainscoting panels on the Main Line.
Main Line Custom Wainscoting Panels: What are my options?
When it comes to choosing a type of wainscoting for your home or business, you’ll want to take a few things into consideration: the size of the space, the feel of the decor, the practical use of the area, etc. Studio JDC can help you consider the best type of Main Line custom wainscoting for your space. When building custom wainscoting, the options are endless so there’s no need to conform to a particular style, but the types of wainscoting below are the most basic forms.
- What is Raised Panel Wainscoting?
Raised panel wainscoting is the most classic of the wainscoting styles. It is often used to give a space more of a traditional or colonial feel. This type of wainscoting is identified by the raised panel which has a distinctive beveled edge.
- What is Bead Board Panel Wainscoting?
Bead board panel wainscoting, also known as beaded panel wainscoting, is recognized by its several vertical grooves, each spaced about an inch apart. This style is more casual, and often used to give the room a French country or cottage feel. - What is Recessed or Flat Panel Wainscoting?
Recessed, or flat panel wainscoting is a more modern and updated option. This design lacks the beveled edge, although the top and cap rails are still present as in other types of wainscoting.
