	Classic Wainscoting - Home Focus
		Although you may be able to nail the bottom of your wainscoting into the horizontal bottom plate of the wall frame, a better option is to install a nailing strip near the floor, and one near the top of the wainscoting.
		I don't recommend gluing wainscoting directly to a wall-regardless of how strong a glue you use, the integrity of the installation will depend entirely on the bond between the paint or wallpaper and wall surface, rather than the bond between the glue and the wall.
		The shop-cut bullnose can be made as wide as necessary to cover the top of your wainscoting, and the cove moulding eases the visual transition between the bullnose and the wainscoting, masks any gaps between these parts, and covers the nail holes at the top of the boards.

	What is Wainscoting?
		Most modern wainscoting panels are cut between 36 and 42 inches, approximately 1 to 1.5 meters.
		Modern wainscoting is still capped off with a protruding form of molding to protect the wall from chair damage.
		The molding for capping off wainscoting can also be very expensive, so be prepared to make a few test cuts on scrap wood before using a miter saw on the real thing.

	Panelling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Panelling such as wainscoting and boiserie in particular may be extremely ornate, and are particularly associated with 17th and 18th century interior design, Victorian architecture in Britain and its international contemporaries.
		Wainscot or wainscoting (pronounced /ˈweɪnskɔtiŋ/ in American English, /ˈweɪnskɒtɪŋ/ in British English) is a panelling style applied to the lower 1.2 to 1.5 m of an interior wall, below the dado rail or chair rail and above the skirting board or baseboard.
		Its original purpose was to cover the lower part of walls which, in houses constructed with poor or nonexistent damp-proof courses, are often affected by rising dampness.

		Wainscoting has been protecting and beautifying walls since the 17th century.
		In those days, it was made exclusively of wood panels held in place with rails and stiles, which were painstaking to install, unforgiving of mistakes, and costly.
		So called because of the regularly spaced bumps milled along the length of each piece, beadboard has hardly changed in appearance or installation method: The tongue-and-groove strips are snugged together and nailed in place, one after the other, until the job is done.
