We have textured walls, so I was a little scared to try this, but I have seen others do board and batten and wainscoting with textured walls and it looked great. So, keep in mind that “true” wainscoting has smooth wood paneling completely covering the wall, then you put your boxes on top of that.Click to see full answer. Besides, can you do board and batten on textured walls?Just put the board and batten on making sure it’s as plumb as possible. Fill gaps with a bead of paintable caulk and smooth out with a wet finger. If the texture is really rough you will need to scrape it off where you want to place the board and batten.Subsequently, question is, how do you cover textured walls? Apply a skim coat. When drywall is installed, the fasteners and taped seams are skim coated—covered with a thin coat of joint compound, or “mud,” to level the surface in preparation for painting or papering. The same technique gets rid of textured walls. Regarding this, can you put beadboard over textured walls? If by textured wall you mean drywall, you can install paneling or anything else over it. Drywall is very easy to work over top of.How far up the wall should wainscoting go?The traditional rule of thumb is that wainscoting height should be a third of the wall’s height, including the cap or any moldings. So if you have 9-foot walls, then 3-foot (or 36-inch) wainscoting will look great. Scale down to about 32 inches for rooms with 8-foot walls.
