Wainscoating is a term used in describing the lower portion of a two toned wall.

As a general rule waincoating can range fom 3'  in height to about 5' in height , depending on the total wall height.

This trend became popular in the mid 1990's and really produces a very high end look.

Wainscoating pricing runs about $ 3.00 per running foot of wall length no matter the height.
