Employed for hundreds of years to cover the lower portion of plaster walls, it is used today both for decorative purposes and functionally to protect walls. Many a high traffic mudroom, kitchen, hallway and stairway wall is covered in wainscoting.

    An excellent This Old House.com article provides interesting detail about contemporary wainscot materials, coatings, and dimensions; and includes the following comment, “A combination of decorative boards or panels and moldings that extend partway up a wall’s face, wainscoting is a centuries-old marriage of form and style.
