Are you to the exciting finishing stages of your project or simply looking for an intriguing way to dress-up your walls? Well, wainscoting may be the answer you are earnestly searching for. Wainscoting is the process of covering the lower portion of a wall with some form of paneling or wallpaper.

There are many different types of paneling you can use, and MDF is one of the most affordable and easy to work with. MDF, or medium density fiberboard as it is also called, is composed of many small particles of wood waste materials that are compressed together with resins and heat. The result is a smooth, even surfaced panel that presents a clean-cut appearance when installed. Because MDF is manufactured out of waste materials, it is less expensive to produce and quite affordable.

You have many design choices when working with MDF. It comes in flat panel, raised panel, beadboard, tongue and groove, or wood veneers over MDF. Normally, it comes pre-primed, making it very easy to simply paint a coat of paint, install, and then touch-up the installation marks.

MDF is popular because of its ease to install. All you have to do is first pre-paint your desired color, cut the boards, nail into place with a finish nailer, caulk the holes and seams, and then touch-up paint. Because it is a composite material, you don’t have to worry about the warping and shrinking associated with real wood. It is very low maintenance as well. Simply repaint as needed, although standard MDF isn’t recommended for use around water sources. For applications around bathrooms or other wet areas, you should consider using special moisture resistant mdf.
