  • Wainscoting Rail:  Are the horizontal boards at the bottom, top and in the middle of the inner panles.

  • Wainscoting Inner Panel:  The inner panels are usually raised or recessed and are separated by stiles and rails.

  • Types of Wainscoting

Beadboard Wainscoting: Traditionally have been made with individual boards that have beads that run vertically along the seams.  These boards are usually assembled with a tongue and groove or a lap joint.  AmericanBeadboard.com is a great source for quality Beadboard and quality moldings.

Raised Panel Wainscoting: Traditionally is made with stiles, rails and a raised inner panels.  Improved one piece manufacturing techiques have many advantages in making the raised panels more affordable, easier to install and more durable because there are significantly fewer seams that can be prone to expansion and contraction cracks.

Recessed Panel Wainscoting:  Similar to the Raised Panel Wainscoting but the inner panel is recessed.

Shaker Wainscoting:  Similar to the Recessed Panel Wainscoting but the inner panel has a straight 90 degree edge at the stile and rail edges.

Tile Wainscoting: Usually made from ceramic tile and is a common application in bathrooms.
