Common Uses

Tongue and groove and V-joint solid wood panelling is used for interior accent walls, fireplace surrounds, mudroom walls, bathroom walls in well-ventilated spaces, kitchen backsplash accents, ceiling treatments, and wainscoting. Cedar is preferred for bathrooms and mudrooms due to its natural moisture and odour resistance.

Pro Tips

• Acclimate the panelling in the installation room for 48-72 hours before installation to reduce post-installation movement.
• Blind-nail through the tongue at an angle rather than face-nailing for the cleanest appearance.
• For bathroom and mudroom applications, apply a penetrating oil or water-based finish to seal the wood before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can wood panelling be used in a bathroom?
Yes, in well-ventilated bathrooms without direct water exposure. Cedar is the preferred species due to its natural moisture resistance. Apply a water-resistant finish before installation.

Should I paint or stain wood panelling?
Both work. Clear or tinted oil finish preserves the natural wood appearance. White or light paint is popular for a fresh, modern aesthetic. The choice depends on the interior style.
