Wainscot paneling was originally made of wood and was used to cover the lower part of walls where they were likely to be affected by dampness rising from the ground.

Today, wainscot is used for more decorative applications, yet it still exudes an antique feel. Bathroom remodeling with waynes coating (secondary spelling) allows you to cover the lower 3 to 4 feet of your wall above the baseboard. Practically, it protects the part of the wall that is likely to get dirty more quickly. Aesthetically, the porcelain, stone, stainless steel or glass tile combines well with either wallpaper or paint. 


We recommend you start with the selection of your field tile.  If you want to create a more traditional look, you can select a decorative listello (a tile border) with a molding to go on the bottom and the top of the listello. Or for a more modern look , try using a stainless steel tile or glass instead as shown below.

Many customers continue the design from the shower and continue it into the wainscot to tie the bathroom together.
