What's Included: 6mm thick MDF strips 100mm wide cut to size Solid timber dado rail cut to size Enough beading to complete the look Free mitre block and saw to cut the beading at home Why We Don't Pre-Cut the Beading Believe us, it's easier for you if we don't! If we pre-cut the mitred edges, every panel would need to be installed with millimetre precision. By cutting after installation, you have more flexibility and can achieve a flawless finish.What Makes Our Beaded Shaker Panels the Best in the UK?It's not just because our battens are crafted from sustainable MDF and cut with the latest CNC machinery, as most companies can boast using sustainable wood and state-of-the-art machinery. It's because we work out all the measurements for you and we cut every MDF strip to size, ensuring a perfect fit. All you need to do is use the free mitre block and saw to cut the beading to fit perfectly in the panels.

Panels Supplied in Strips of 1500mm or Less

For ease of delivery and handling, all panels in your kit are supplied in strips of 1500mm or shorter. If your wall dimensions exceed 1500mm in either direction, we'll split the strips into equal-length pieces that join together neatly at the midpoint — so you still receive exactly the right amount of MDF for your wall.

Don't worry about the joins being visible. Simply butt the pieces together, apply a little decorator's filler or caulk over the join, sand lightly once dry, and paint with the rest of your panelling as normal. Once decorated, the joins will be virtually invisible — even up close. This is the same technique used by professional joiners and decorators, and it works beautifully with MDF.

The Dado RailOur solid pine dado rail adds an extra layer of protection for your walls and provides a polished finish. Popular in hallways, it’s usually placed at one-third of the wall height, giving the illusion of a longer space. In bedrooms, the dado is often placed behind the headboard to draw attention to the bed and create contrast.Beading for Added DepthThe beading in our shaker panelling adds a traditional look with extra depth. It extends 20mm from the inner panel edges and is raised 9mm, giving your walls a textured, layered effect. With our free mitre block and saw, you can easily cut the beading to fit your panels perfectly.Add a Modern Twist with a Picture ShelfFor a contemporary take, swap the Dado rail for a picture shelf. This offers a sleek, modern touch while giving you space to display decor or photos. Our picture shelves are cut-to-size and can be easily secured to your primed panels. Choose between 80mm or 120mm depths for the perfect projection. Please note, this decorative shelf is not intended for heavy items. Before After

Easy InstallationAfter ordering your wood wall panelling comes the important part. Installation. Don't worry - we include a wall panelling manual within your kit which can help you with installation. Additional items you might need: Adhesive Spirit level Measuring tape Caulk Wall filler Wood primer  Sandpaper Mitre block and Tenon Saw - included with your order TOP TIP:  Note down measurements from the technical view of the visualiser when placing your order as these will help you with the installation.Download Installation ManualInstallation Guidance Our wall panelling strips, dado rails and beading are designed to be installed using adhesive and will sit flush when fitted to a straight, even wall. If a wall is not perfectly straight, the strips or mouldings may be forced to follow the wall’s profile. Using adhesive alone in these situations can cause the material to bow, lift, or appear to warp. Any visible movement or gaps are most commonly caused by uneven walls, rather than an issue with the product itself. Where walls are uneven, additional fixings are required to hold panels flat. Choosing the Correct Fixings  If additional fixing is required due to wall unevenness, the correct method will depend on the wall type: Brick or masonry wallsUse wall plugs and screws to pull panels or dado rails flat against the wall. Screw heads can be filled and painted over once installed. Stud or plasterboard wallsUse panel pins or brads to secure panels while the adhesive sets. Pins can be easily filled and painted over once cured. Always select fixings appropriate for your wall construction to ensure a secure, long-lasting finish.

Frequently Asked Questions What is beading in wall panelling?

Beading is a decorative trim or moulding that is used to enhance the appearance and texture of wall panelling.

Can I paint my beading to match the wall panelling?

Yes, just make sure the adhesive is dry before you start painting.

Why don’t you pre-mitre and cut the beading?

It's easier for you if we don't pre-mitre and cut the beading before installation. You would need to install every panel to the millimetre for the pre-cut mitred edges of the beading to join seamlessly butted against the MDF strips. Cutting after installation of the MDF strips allows room for error in the first part of the installation and allows you to achieve a seamless finish. We provide the mire block and tenor saw along with full instructions so that you have everything you need to cut it to size during installation.

What are Dado Rails?

Dado rails are decorative wooden trims that are installed horizontally along the wall. They are often used above Wall Panelling to create a classic, elegant look.

Do I need Dado Rails if I have Wall Panelling?

While dado rails are not strictly necessary when installing Wall Panelling, they can add an extra element of style and sophistication to your wall and the overall look of the room.

What materials are Dado Rails made from?

Dado rails are typically made from wood, ours are made of Pine Wood.

How do I install Dado Rails with Wall Panelling?

Installing dado rails with wall panelling typically involves cutting the rails to size, but fortunately, we do that for you! All you need to do is attach them to the wall with adhesive. You can find instructions on how to install your Wall Panelling Kit and Dado Rail here.

Can Dado Rails be painted?

Yes, dado rails can be painted or stained to match the colour and finish of your wall panelling. This allows you to create a seamless look throughout the room or space. You can also choose the option for us to prime your Wall Panelling Kit and Dado so that it is ready to paint when it arrives to you.

How do I maintain my Dado Rail?

To maintain the appearance of your dado rails and wall panelling, it's important to keep them clean and free of dust and dirt. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the panels and rails regularly, and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the wood.
