Wainscot wall panelling is a decorative feature that has been used in interior design for centuries. It involves covering the lower portion of a wall with wooden panelling, typically up to about one-third or one-half of the wall's height. With our cut-to-size wainscot panelling kits all you need to do is measure your wall, order and install, we do all the calculations and cutting for you! Read More
The term "wainscot" is derived from the German words "wand" (wall) and "schotten" (to board or line with wood). Historically, wainscoting was used as a practical solution to insulate and protect the lower part of walls from moisture, damage from furniture, and general wear and tear.
Beyond its functional and aesthetic purposes, wainscot panelling can also serve as a design element to create visual interest and define different spaces within a room. For example, it can be used to separate an entryway from a living area or to create the illusion of separate zones within an open-concept layout.
Wainscot panelling is a classic and versatile design feature that can add warmth, texture, and visual interest to any room in a home or commercial space.
Wainscot Wall Panelling with a Dado Rail
A dado rail adds a traditional touch to your half-height panelling and makes the perfect wainscot cap. A wainscot cap gives the panelling a more traditional, classic look than shaker wall panelling on its own.
Many of our customers add a wainscot cap to their hallway panelling and paint the top half of the wall a complementary neutral colour. If you're planning on panelling your bathroom or other high-humidity areas we recommend using our Custom Height Bathroom Wall Panelling with a Dado Rail which includes moisture-resistant MDF.

The end result is excellent but some improvement needed
The end result is excellent. I did need help with my online order though (I think some improvements could be made to the website, with a step by step guide to cut out positions, etc). Response to emails needs to be more prompt (a response to a question took over a week). There is no phone number advertised, although I sourced it using Apple Maps because they are local to me. There was a mistake in processing one piece but it was dealt with efficiently. Overall, I would reuse cutmy.

Good material, accurately cut, well packed and delivered when promised. I would have liked the option to use click and collect if possible.

Top marks
Top marks. I sent measurements in millimeters instead of centimetres, by mistake They called me to query my order which saved me the cost and delivery of what would have been a useless item. Despite the delay this caused, I still received the item, which was urgent, before Christmas. The perspex was immaculate on receipt and fitted as per the description - to absolute perfection.

First time I’ve used this company
First time I’ve used this company. Their prices were £10 less than another I looked at. They use a good delivery company (APC). The Perspex sheets were extremely well wrapped - no chance of damage while in transit. Very pleased with the product and service.
