WK003 Beaded Wainscot Knotty Pine adds traditional architectural character to interior walls with a beaded panel profile in natural knotty pine. The panels install with a compatible cap rail and baseboard moulding for a complete wainscoting system, covering the lower third of the wall with a finished, protective surface. Knotty pine brings visible grain character and natural knots that suit cottage, rustic, and traditional Canadian interior styles. Available at Windsor Plywood locations.

Common Uses
Installed as wainscoting in dining rooms, entryways, hallways, mudrooms, and cottage interiors. Knotty pine wainscoting is especially popular in recreational properties, lakefront homes, and any space where natural wood warmth and cabin character are the design intent.
Pro Tips
- Establish the cap rail height first using a level line around the room. 32-36" from the floor is standard. Install the cap rail to the level line, then fit panels below it.
- Nail through the tongue of each panel (blind nailing) so nail heads are hidden by the next panel. Use a pneumatic finish nailer for speed and consistency.
- For a natural knotty pine finish, apply two coats of clear satin polyurethane. For a painted finish, prime with a shellac-based primer first -- regular latex primer may allow knot bleed-through over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy the cap rail and baseboard separately?
Yes. The WK003 panels, cap rail, and baseboard are sold as individual components. Confirm all three are in stock at your local Windsor Plywood branch before starting your project.
Can I install wainscoting over existing drywall?
Yes. Wainscoting panels install directly over painted or primed drywall. Nail into wall studs for a secure hold. No drywall removal is required.
