What is Wainscoting?
Wainscoting, a decorative and functional system, incorporates elements like V-groove panels and Tongue and groove panelling. This traditional design concept, which gained popularity in the 18th century, transitioned from floor-to-ceiling panelling to covering only the lower half of walls. Originally valued for its functional aspects, such as providing interior protection and insulation against damp and cold stone walls, modern homeowners often opt for wainscoting primarily for its visual appeal. This approach combines wood panels, dado rail, picture rail, moulding, and the craftsmanship of V-groove and Tongue and groove panelling to enhance interior aesthetics.
Wainscoting with Panels
Wainscoting Wall Panelling - No. 147
This traditional wainscoting panel is similar to V-Groove panels as it features flat moldings that interlock to create vertical wainscoting. You can customise its height by cutting the length, and it seamlessly connects for a smooth finish. It pairs well with a No.169 dado rail and your preferred skirting.
Wall Panel No.109 - Valleys
Wall panel No.109 Valleys is one of the most popular panels in our 3D Wall Covering collection. This beautiful wall panel has a linear fluted panel design which works seamlessly into both traditional settings and more contemporary interior styles. The repetitive scalloped wall panel detailing is reminiscent of traditional style v groove wainscoting but has modern proportions and design.
This versatile wall panel is the ideal choice for half height wall panelling.
Wall Panel No.116 - Bars XL
The 'Bar' Panel No.116 XL, part of the 3D Wall Covering collection, closely resembles tongue and groove panelling in both function and aesthetics. Inspired by the No.111 Bars Wall panel, this extra-large version of slatted detailing can be cut into two sections and installed above skirting boards to achieve a wainscotting effect, reminiscent of the traditional use of tongue and groove panelling. To enhance the visual appeal, you can trim it with our No.190 moulding, specially designed for LED lighting, highlighting the seamless slat details.
