Wainscoting Long Island

  Wainscoting (or wainscotting) is defined as decorative paneling placed beneath a   chair rail or wainscot cap. There are many types of applications; one of the most   common is when stiles and rails are used to form boxes, which are adorned using    elegant molding. Common materials used include: various types of wood, MDF   (medium density fiberboard), plaster and even marble.

  It was originally used in 16th century England to cover the lower part of walls;
  when homes were not built to resist rising dampness. However, it is now used as
  a way to decorate major rooms in upscale homes. Due to its rich, linear qualities   and elegant patterns, it is mostly chosen by designers who want to add a sense
  of history and substantive charm to a room. Applying wainscoting to a home is an   intricate process that requires the knowledge and skill of an experienced   professional. It is mostly found in upscale dwellings such as country estates,   villas, mansions and castles.
