Made in the USA

Please measure twice and order once and please call us if you have questions so that you will minimize the chances of an error.  Each item is custom made to your specifications so, unfortunately, we can not accept returns once a panel is custom made.  Sometimes mistakes do happen and we will work with you to resolve your design issues.

It is best to take both a high and low wall measurement for each panel and use the longest of the two measurements when ordering so that you can compensate for walls that are slightly off.

You can use a butt joint or a miter joint for the outside corner.  Our recommendation is the butt joint because most installers find it easier.

Butt Joint :  You will need to add 5/8" to the panel that is going to overlap.  You might also want to compensate the stile width by 5/8"  so that the finished end stile will be the same on both panels.
Miter Joint 90° corner:  You will need to add 5/8" to both panels and cut the 45 degree miter angle at time of installation.
 

Take your measurement so that one panel will go up against the opposing wall and the other panel will need to be shortened by the 5/8” panel thickness.   You may want to add 5/8" to the the end stile width of the panel going up against the opposing wall so that when installed both panel stiles will match.

Large Orders that are more than 120 lbs - Panels will ship in sections up to 90". Based on the length and the number of panels the Web Designer will optimize the length of each section and determine which stile to locate shiplap joint(s).
Small Orders that are 120 lbs or less - Panels may ship in multiple sections so that standard UPS ground fees can be applied. If you need the panel to be in one piece up to 90" call our office to determine if there will be additional shipping charges to ship curbside LTL freight instead of UPS Ground.

We usually recommend moving the electical boxes a couple of inches to the left or right to miss the wainscoting panel rout.  However there are times when you just can not move the box or it is a heating vent .  For those situations we recommend using the reverse molding which is supplied with every Raised Panel order.   For new construction we recommend that you have your contractor adjust the outlets so that they are located in the center of the bottom rail.  One to two feet of reverse profile molding is shipped with every Raised Panel order.

Occasionally you run into situations where an outlet or a heating/cooling vent can not be moved and they intersect an inner panel route. Our reverse molding can be cut to the length required and glued in place to fill the route void. We will ship a couple of feet of this reverse molding with every order.
