If you plan to paint your raised panels, our factory primed paintable surface is the way to go and is offered at a very economical cost. We'll paint it, if you like, before it is shipped for a nominal charge.  For an upcharge, we will even match a stain color if you send us a stain sample.

A variety of panel sizes fit with precision-machined rails and stiles to create a fully integrated assembly system that reduces installation time and costs. Overall finished heights using these kits range from 32" to 44" wainscoting.  Custom panel widths and heights may also be ordered, up to full wall height and flat panel systems for stairways and landings is also available!  This 4-foot kit is available to help finish a job, where you don't need an additional 8' kit.
