Panel moulding is a great option for adding detail to the walls in your space. Commonly referred to as "Wainscoting", this design style can be customized to your preferences and easily installed onto any wall! Osborne offers a wide selection of panel moulding so that you can find the perfect fit. To install, simply find the length of your wall and determine the number of panel boxes you wish to have. Then determine the size of each box and install using adhesive and finish nails! These wooden mouldings come sanded to 150 grit and ready for finishing.

Assembly Steps
Step 1
Measure and mark the positioning for each box that will be installed. Determine the number of boxes you desire, along with the gap sizes between them.
Step 2
Cut all of the moulding to size using a miter saw at a 45 degree angle. Make sure the cuts are made so the moulding will be facing the right way when installed.
Step 3
Apply painter’s tape to the marks on the wall to help with the alignment process during installation.
Step 4
Apply liquid nail adhesive to the back of the moulding and place it onto the wall following the marks and tape you used earlier. Use the nail gun to further secure the moulding. Frequently check the leveling of the moulding while installing.
Step 5
Repeat this process until you finish your first box, then install the remaining boxes for the rest of the wall.
Step 6
Apply caulk to each seam and nail hole to avoid any uneven looks. Sand as needed.
Step 7
Paint the moulding the color of your choice and the installation is complete!
