BeadBoard

Product Type:

Bead Board, is a trend that’s on the way back and is very easy to install using our Elite Beadboard Kit.

We offer unique, extra wide beads in our beadboard system, 2.5″ wide, up to twice as wide as others. The stiles are made from HDF (high density fiberboard), considerably harder and heaver than MDF , Elite beadboard stiles are only 5.5″ wide, much easier to carry, cut, customize and install than 4 x 4 or 4 x 8 foot panels that you may have seen elsewhere.

We recommend a overall height of about 38″ but if you prefer, you can go as height as 44″. To go higher, you’ll need to install a spacer of the desired additional height and the same thickness of the bead board (11/32″) on the wall at floor level. The spacer is required so that the baseboard will sit flat when installed. The stiles are pre-cut at 38″ for ease of handling and to reduce UPS shipping charges. If you prefer to have you bead board less than 38″ high, simply cut off what you don’t need.

Our bead board is not water proof by any means but it is water resistant meaning that if you finish the edges and paint it properly it will look great for years to come.

We have professionals standing by to help you with any problems or questions you may have about the product or installation. Get factory direct pricing and UPS delivery right to your door! Special reduced shipping rates.

The components include: cap trim, board trim (Bead-222) and a baseboard.

Installation of Beard Board Winscoting

Bead Board will give the room a warm comfortable feeling, its beauty lies in its simplicity. It is probably the easiest of all wainscoting to install, regardless of your skill level. Although bead board is fairly self explanatory, it still requires some instruction.

Bead Board Winscoting

Prep work

In order to install bead board, you should start by removing the existing base board. The baseboard in newer homes will likely only be nailed; older homes may have a very hard adhesive behind both the baseboards and casings around the doors. This adhesive can be removed using a sander or by hand using a medium grit sand paper. Do not concern yourself with the finish of the sanding as it will be covered entirely with the bead board.

Wainscot in Canada

Product Type:

In the days before paint was scrubbable and wallpaper was mass-produced, wainscoted walls served a practical purpose; covering the lowest and most vulnerable portion of a wall. Covering with wood panelling provided an attractive and decorative wall treatment tough enough to withstand cleaning and resist any damages due to everyday use.

Even with today�€™s modern paint and wallpapers, wainscoting still serves its intended protective purpose; however people use it most often because of the way it transforms a bland space into an elegant room by adding interesting detail to walls that don�€™t otherwise have any built-in character.

Use of Winscoting?

Where can Wainscoting be used in a home?
Wainscot can be added to any wall in any room in a house, including the kitchen, entry foyer, stairways, dining room and the formal living room. We also recommend it for en-suites or bathrooms. Any room can benefit from the use of Wainscoting.
