New England Classic Wood Panel & Wainscot

Bringing the warmth and beauty of fine wood to your home.

New England Classic® DIY wainscoting and wood paneling systems are a major advance over custom-built wall treatment systems. Our easily installed wall panel systems use standard sizes of panels and machined top and bottom rails and vertical stiles to create affordable installations in six architectural styles. Choose from traditional colonial, beadboard and cottage designs to modern and contemporary styling; you'll see that our designs perfectly match classic proportions to yield pleasing visual solutions.

New England Classic panel systems can be used in wall treatments from medium-height wainscoting to full-height wall paneling, and there are components for staircases, too. Our nearly seamless interlocking panel system is so unique and effective it has been awarded three patents by the U.S. Patent Office. 8-foot kits (8 linear/running feet) and 4-foot kits are available in our Beadboard, Raised Panel and our Rustic designs and complementary door and window casings, plate shelves and other trim moldings are available to complete your project. Our designers will customize a paneling system to your specifications!

Our modular paneling systems are easily installed at a cost of approximately half that of custom millwork. We encourage you to print, fill out and submit our Design Request Form, after which you will receive a detailed drawing, a material list and a quote to simplify your new construction, remodeling or renovation project. For stairs or landings, use our Stair Design Form.

New England Classic products are offered in a paintable wood product, a factory-primed or painted surface or with premium furniture grade oak, maple, and cherry veneers that show the natural variations in grain, color, and texture ... the essence of woods' beauty and romantic appeal.
