What Is Bathroom Wainscoting?
Bathroom wainscoting is partial-wall paneling used in bathrooms. Wainscoting refers to the technique of nailing on panels of wood to the lower section of walls and topping it with chair rail molding. Chair rail molding is a narrow, decorative wood trim that is positioned horizontally along walls — often at a height in which the top edge of a wooden chair could touch it without marking the wall. Wainscoting, also sometimes incorrectly spelled wainscotting, wanescoting or wayne’s coating, has its origins in England and was in common use by the 17th century to help add a stylish layer of warmth to drafty English stone homes. Beadboard is the most popular type of bathroom wainscoting.
