  3. Understanding the Right Way to Add Wood Panels to a Wall Assess Condition of the Wall You can always use wood panels as a tool to beautify your unattractive walls. But you cannot install the wood panels properly if the wall is not in proper condition. Before installing the wood panels, you must check the condition of the wall. It is always important to check for any flaking on the wall surface and if the wall is damp and brown. Also, you need to check if there are leaky pipes. Compare Different Types of Wood Panels You have the option to choose from many types of wood panels – vertical paneling, horizontal paneling, wainscot paneling, beadboard paneling, and abstract paneling. You must compare various types of wood paneling to decide the best way to change the room’s look and feel.

  4. Determine the Height of Individual Wood Panels You have to measure the wall before determining the height of the wood panels. The initial measurement will help you to calculate the height and width of the wood panels before placing an order. You can even consider adding 10% more to the estimated height of the wood panels. The addition will ensure that the wood panels meet your requirements precisely. Keep in Mind the Plumbing and Electrics While installing wood panels, you have the option to hide the exposed plumbing. However, it is also important to ensure that the sockets and switches on the wall are installed on the wood panels properly. The handyman will help you to adjust the exposed plumbing or accommodate the sockets and switches in the most appropriate way.
