How to install wainscoting
It may look like a big job, but it’s actually incredibly easy to learn how to install wainscoting panels and save yourself a fortune.
As an interior design feature, wainscoting dates all the way back to the 16th century when it was created to provide insulation and a protective barrier for the weaker building materials used at the time. With today’s homes constructed from much sterner stuff, in the 21st century the purpose of wainscoting is purely decorative.
It consists of wall panelling that generally rises to chair rail level and serves to make a room more visually interesting. Historically, wainscoting was made of wood, but these days it can be manufactured from a number of different modern materials to the desired aesthetic, from traditional to ultramodern.
Once the panels, chair rail and skirting board are in place, check your adhesive’s instructions for its full-strength drying time. Until that time has elapsed, be careful not to knock or bump the wainscoting.
When it comes to an adhesive for installing wainscoting, versatility is key. UniBond No More Nails Original is a multifunctional grab adhesive that can be used with most common building materials, including wood, metal, ceramic and most plastics – all of which are also used in the production of various varieties of wainscoting.
