What happens to my electrical outlets and/or light switches where wainscoting goes?
If this application is for new construction, your architect or designer will account for this during the initial design phase. In remodeling projects, electrical outlets may have to be moved laterally, depending upon their current location. One option is to move outlets into the baseboard or higher up on the wall so as not to interfere with the continuity and balance of the wainscoting. For the best appearance, we recommend having a licensed electrician involved in the process.
