Content: Because wainscoting comes in large sheets, you must cut it when you reach the end of a wall or doors and windows. Cutting wainscoting is similar to cutting any other paneling material and can be accomplished by using power cutting tools. Advertisement
Step 1
Place a tape measure against the wall where you are installing the wainscoting and measure the width or the height of the area. Step 2
Lay the wainscoting with the finished side down on a flat work surface. Transfer the measurements onto the piece of wainscoting using a pencil and the tape measure. Step 3
Slide the wainscoting over the edge of the work surface until the pencil line hangs off. Clamp the wainscoting to the surface using table clamps. Advertisement
Step 4
Put on safety glasses and a dust mask. Press the trigger on a circular saw and cut along the pencil line until you reach the end of it. Step 5
Release the trigger on the circular saw and wait until the blade stops spinning.
