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.

Oversized packaging (half-A1) caused 8 x A4 perspex sheets to move freely inside, resulting in one corner breaking through the edge of the packaging and being exposed on arrival. Luckily, none of the sheets were damaged, but this packaging was completely inappropriate for 8 x A4 sheets.

Great service
Great service. Order was slightly delayed but I was kept informed of this by email.
Wood was shipped well protected from edge damage and moisture and so arrived in perfect condition. Each piece of wood was labeled with a sticky label that peeled off readily by hand. All in all a well thought out service. Will use this company again for future orders.

Easy order and fixing
Easy to order and panels came to measurements perfectly. Instructions to assemble were good too. The only thing I was disappointed with was the primer. I paid extra for this but none of the edges are primed just the front and back.
