Wikipedia Beadboard Definition
Beadboard PlanksTo a building construction worker, the definition of beadboard might be a type of panel insulation that is created from fibreglass, rock or plastic foam. It is used in internal and external foundation wall construction. These rigid panels are cut to fit into wall cavities and are successfully used to insulate walls. Panels come in many different shapes and sizes. The thickness of the panel used will depend on the type of construction job and whether it’s going to be used internally or externally. However, to the basic retail consumer who is most often going to be looking for paneling for decorative use, it is a type of paneling that has a distinctive and recognizable look to it, which is described as row upon row of identical planks. Between each plank is a small indentation or ridge, that is referred to as a bead. Today, large sheets of connected planks are mass-produced for easy installation. Consumers have found that it is easy to order beadboard planks like the ones that Elite Trimworks has available on their website in order to save money and having the material delivered saves a lot of time and money, as well. |
Beadboard Panels Depending upon your specific project design needs, there are many different varieties of planks to choose from that are made up of different materials, sizes and shapes. Elite Trimworks carries all of the most common types, including medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and hardwood. In addition, there are planks made out of vinyl for interior use and polyvinyl chloride, more commonly known as PVC, for exterior use. Tongue and groove planks are also available, made either of MDF or of pine. Elite Trimworks has recently introduced a line of beadboard planks that are eight inches wide in width, with three beads per plank. Whatever your project needs, Elite Trimworks has the plank type you will need to get the job done. |
Beadboard Ceiling A typical ceiling installation is more complicated than a simple backsplash, staircase or wall covering. It will involve wainscoting, wood beams and either crown moldings or shoe moldings to complete the picture. A ceiling can be done using planks or sheets, depending on the size of your room. Elite Trimworks offers two options on their website for beadboard ceilings, choosing the right one is entirely dependent on the size of your room and the size of the squares in the wainscoting you would like. Choose between sheets that offer you the most versatility. The beams, which can be any height or width, hide the joints on the sheets or planks. The extra detail work involves finishing off the edges where the beams meet the paneling by using crown moldings or quarter round. |
Beadboard Bathroom Remodelling ideas for the kitchen include adding a beadboard backsplash, refinishing older cabinets or even installing a beadboard kitchen island. This type of decorating has been around as an interior design choice for over one hundred years. Why does it endure? It endures because of the way it can completely change the look of the room by adding great depth and classic detail to an area that may not have had anything highlighting it previously. If you are thinking about redoing a backsplash, a beadboard backsplash can be installed right over a plain wall or tile. It provides a sophisticated, yet casual look to the area. You can buy primed white vinyl or wood in order to paint, or if you have stained cabinets, it is available in unfinished wood grain. A beadboard kitchen island is not difficult to create using panels or even adding wainscoting. |
Vinyl BeadboardInterior beadboard paneling differs from the exterior equivalent. Both variants are made from some formulations of vinyl or PVC. Aside from the obvious that exterior beadboard tends to be thicker and stronger for impact resistance, the exterior products have UV inhibitors added to resist oxidation. Interior beadboard products do not require UV protection. |
Beadboard Cabinets and Beadboard WallsBeadboard can be installed on the entire wall and cabinetry. The distinctive lines running the length of each narrow panel gives cottage or Cape Cod-style homes and furniture effect. Generally, Beadboard is installed vertically but can also be installed horizontally for a different look. Beadboard provides a sturdy wall or ceiling surface and adds some insulation to a wall. |
