Wall PanelingChapter SummariesSection 28.1 Sheet Paneling
Sheet paneling is the most common type and usually comes in 4×8 sheets. Drywall makes the best backing for sheet paneling. Panels can be applied with nails or adhesives. Molding is used to cover joints and seams. Section 28.2 Board Paneling
Board paneling is made of solid wood, and boards interlock with lap or tongue-and-groove joints. Raised paneling is made of solid wood. Paneling should be conditioned by placing it for at least 48 hours in the room in which it will be used. Board paneling may be installed vertically, horizontally, or at an angle. Blind nailing allows for nails placed through the tongue of one board to be hidden by the next. Edges are undercut to ensure a tight fit in corners.  |
