Board And Batten Chair Rail. You all know how much i love the rule of thirds already. Mine measure 34″ from the top of the baseboard to the top of the chair rail.
This time facing the 1 inch thick end towards the floor to perfectly fit together with the board and batten. Mine measure 34″ from the top of the baseboard to the top of the chair rail. And this is no different.
Then I Drew Out The Walls Of The Room In My Sketchbook To Determine How To Space The Lattice Strips.
Each of these options has its own applications and advantages. Mine measure 34″ from the top of the baseboard to the top of the chair rail. It is a popular myth that chair railing got its name from the damage caused by the backs of chairs.
It Makes Things Go So Much More Smoothly.
This is a really popular style that you will see used on most homes. Decide how high up your wall you want your board and batten to go. I took the height of our base board (5.5in) and and height of the chair rail board (3.5in) and subtracted that from 48in (4ft) to get 39in, the approximate height needed for the vertical boards.
I Really Think It Is A Matter Of Personal Preference.
We needed four 8′ lengths of each material to wrap around the room, except for the 1×3 vertical battens—we used 19 of those. Traditionally wainscoting is made of wood, or it can also be made out of mdf board. Many times it is installed in high traffic areas such as hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, and other places where space is at a premium.

Let’s talk about what i used for my baseboards, rails, and slats. It is typically installed 32” above the floor (with a standard 8 ft ceiling) in order to add more character to the wall. By adding some lattice boards to create my board and batten, i could essentially paint a fraction of the room and lighten it up without painting the whole thing.
I Already Had The New Baseboards Installed So There Was Only A Need For The Vertical Boards And Horizontal Chair Rail And Top Cap.
An easier and cheaper way to get a board and batten look using vertical trim. If you are handy with measuring and nailing, getting all the framing nailed should be a breeze. Once the chair rail was complete, i started measuring and nailing in the batten boards.
