What is Wainscoting?
Wainscoting is a decorative form of wall paneling that adds depth, texture, and protection to interior spaces. Made from wood or other durable materials, it creates a classic wall design with clean lines and elegant interior wall molding. Wainscoting can be tailored to suit any style, from modern to traditional, and works beautifully in dining rooms, hallways, and offices. Beyond its visual appeal, it also helps protect walls from everyday wear, making it both functional and refined.
Wall Trim Maintenance
Maintaining trim is simple with regular care and attention. To preserve its finish, avoid harsh cleaners or abrasives that can dull the surface. Instead, use a soft cloth or dusting pad to remove buildup and a mild soap solution for deeper cleaning. Protect walls from excessive moisture, as prolonged exposure can lead to swelling or cracks. If any area becomes damp, dry it promptly to prevent damage. Periodic inspection of decorative wall trim and joints helps ensure the installation remains secure and looking its best for years to come.

Wainscoting works beautifully in high-traffic or visually prominent spaces such as entryways, hallways, dining rooms, offices, and staircases—anywhere you want to add architectural detail and wall protection.
Options range from solid hardwoods and MDF to paint-grade panels. The right choice depends on your desired style, budget, and room conditions (for example, moisture levels in bathrooms or basements).
