Wainscot wall panelling is a decorative feature that has been used in interior design for centuries. It involves covering the lower portion of a wall with wooden panelling, typically up to about one-third or one-half of the wall's height. With our cut-to-size wainscot panelling kits all you need to do is measure your wall, order and install, we do all the calculations and cutting for you! Read More
The term "wainscot" is derived from the German words "wand" (wall) and "schotten" (to board or line with wood). Historically, wainscoting was used as a practical solution to insulate and protect the lower part of walls from moisture, damage from furniture, and general wear and tear.
Beyond its functional and aesthetic purposes, wainscot panelling can also serve as a design element to create visual interest and define different spaces within a room. For example, it can be used to separate an entryway from a living area or to create the illusion of separate zones within an open-concept layout.
Wainscot panelling is a classic and versatile design feature that can add warmth, texture, and visual interest to any room in a home or commercial space.
Wainscot Wall Panelling with a Dado Rail
A dado rail adds a traditional touch to your half-height panelling and makes the perfect wainscot cap. A wainscot cap gives the panelling a more traditional, classic look than shaker wall panelling on its own.
Many of our customers add a wainscot cap to their hallway panelling and paint the top half of the wall a complementary neutral colour. If you're planning on panelling your bathroom or other high-humidity areas we recommend using our Custom Height Bathroom Wall Panelling with a Dado Rail which includes moisture-resistant MDF.

Delighted and very happy
I took a chance on this company as I’d not heard of them before but I googled for mdf sheets and this company popped up. I am delighted with my purchase as the boards received were cut to my exact requirements and fit perfectly in the space I needed them to be. Highly recommended and a reasonable price too.

I ordered two desk protectors from Cut My with polished edge clear glass look (one in study and one in our son's bedroom) and I guarantee they look EXACTLY like real glass and totally safe for young children. Would definitely recommend. Wish I knew about this company years ago.
