Specifications

Common Uses

Install as part of a complete wainscoting system with compatible panels and baseboard. Hemlock is the preferred softwood for stained moulding. Its pitch-free surface means no bleed-through under paint and no blotching under stain.

Pro Tips

• Set the cap rail level first -- it establishes the top line for the entire wainscoting run. Use a laser level for long walls.
• For paint: apply directly -- no knot sealer needed. For stain: hemlock accepts stain evenly with a pre-stain conditioner. For clear finish: sand to 180-grit and apply water-based polyurethane or lacquer.
• Confirm compatible wainscoting panels and baseboard profiles at your local Windsor Plywood branch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What height should wainscoting be?
Standard wainscoting height is 32" to 36" from the floor -- roughly one-third of the wall height for 8-9 ft ceilings.

Why choose hemlock over pine?
Hemlock is pitch-free -- no resin bleed under paint, no sticky sap. It also accepts stain more evenly than pine. Hemlock is the premium softwood choice when finish quality matters.
