Real wood paneling has a warmth and beauty that is at home in traditional or contemporary interiors. The wood paneling system is designed for interior finishes such as wainscots and wall paneling. With decorative wall paneling you have dozens of choices, finished or unfinished, flat or grooved. The veneers include: Ash, Birch, Alder, Beech, Red Oak, Maple, and White Oak. Manufacturers also offer panels faced with Aromatic Cedar, Cherry, Clear Pine, Knotty Pine, Walnut and Hickory.
The paneling system is used exactly like any hardwood paneling in interior finish applications. It is a pre-cut system where pre-machined stiles, rails, and panel pieces are assembled and installed with minimal cutting and sanding. Paneling with real wood veneers come in a variety of faces from wide planks, color-coordinated V-grooves to satin finishes. You can select 48" X 96" panels in either 3-ply or 5-ply construction. As with most wood products, there are limitations as to the exposure to water and extreme temperatures. Extremely humid areas inside the house should be avoided, or humid air must be removed or controlled. Exposure to temperatures over 120 degrees Fahrenheit should be avoided. Exterior applications are not recommended.
