Barnwood Paneling an Idea?

If you do choose to install barnwood paneling or any other type of rustic material from our high quality selection, at least over drywall, you will need to take several things into consideration. First of all, you’ll have to compensate for a shift in the position of the wall. It would move out by a percentage determined by the thickness of the paneling product. Secondly, that means you will need to move your utility boxes a bit forward. Making sure that they are flush with the wall to facilitate convenience and avoid potential safety hazards. Fortunately, The Wood Workers Shoppe sells a number of accessories from trim to electrical boxes which will help you and your home to properly adjust to this change. Also remember that if you’re installing round a window, you’re going to need to increase the width of the jam, which is definitely doable with our products. The idea is to get the job done without creating a visible seam, and we specialize in creating a congruent looking product.

A Slight Drawback

Wood Workers ShoppeIf you are installing your rustic paneling over top of the drywall, the biggest drawback is going to be the inability to modify the studs beneath to create better framework for the installation. The complication will become more present if you are installing vertically simply because the studs themselves run vertically, and you’ll have trouble nailing some of the boards into position. The general solution has always been to screw horizontal furring strips to the wall, fastening them to the studs, but if you want, you can take the route of using glue, though it is not always desirable. Finding a way to fasten the boards is critical, and we always recommend using the horizontal approach when installing over drywall.
