Wainscoting Video

VIDEO SUMMARY

Install the bottom rail, making sure it is level. Then, start installing the wainscoting panels and stiles. Start in the middle of the wall and work out to the ends. Once that is done, the top rail locks all these pieces together. Lastly, put on the cap molding and you are ready to finish your beautiful wall. Some companies offer the wainscotting prefinished in various natural wood finishes.

Installation is simple and easy. The finished project will be stable, solid and enhance any room.

I hope a novice doesn't view this video and think it's a simple project. Wainscotting is not a trivial exercise because there is no wall that's perfectly flat and there's no floor that's plumb. You should have mentioned issues like this to the viewers
