Wall Paneling

A wall panel is single piece of material, usually flat and cut into a rectangular shape, that serves as the visible and exposed covering for a wall.Wainscoting is a general term for wall paneling, while beadboard is a specific style that uses vertical panels. With wainscoting, you can separate the boards using decorative elements or by using frames around panels. Beadboard differs because you get vertical grooves and small ridges between each board.
