All about wainscoting

I’ve been working on this post for a few weeks, it turns out there’s a lot to say on this topic!
I also had to check the spelling on this term SO many times, even my spell check didn’t know if this was correct.
Also, when I was much younger, I actually thought this was Wayne’s coating! But, I digress…
But, I’m pretty sure I got it right!
What Is Wainscoting
Traditional Wainscoting
Wainscoting (pronounced weyn-skoh-ting) is a raised panel originally used as a protective function to keep out cold and moisture.
This architectural element which once served as wall protection, dates back to the 16th century, Europe.
