Out -- situations and using glues that are quite safe and so it makes it easy to create. Rooms like we're doing here David Ives is working on this when I gave -- I've and in order to have to make everything kind of blend together with the doors. The closet what David has done is to take the panels and cut them into these rectangular sizes and pit them against the plywood that we put on the on the studs and closed everything in -- The system. Real Honduran mahogany right David no accidents and that is what you've done is you've run everything through and milled it. So that he got a -- on either side right so that's a cover over my cuts you guys covering and it's it's a very nice design because -- really creates -- kind of job. Bankers paneling yes are you dealing with -- by the -- we're just getting that and now and what we're doing exotic island."

" He says it -- set so that. Got a good good seal behind it -- penalties and yes this isn't really strikes have been used for putting on floors right. And that should work really well yeah. -- from work being mowing and in time from temperature change from. And you face nail it just bail out bill Billy little test here so make sure they're covered by -- trends. That is really the adhesive that is doing the oh yes that's really important because it hold it against the panels -- the plywood walked. Now you're not putting any adhesive behind the mahogany trim no on this case ceremonies and else to do that because I have good stud behind there. And that glue.

So David will you be putting these pieces over here next yes we're going to continue era."

" Room and helps angled pieces here in rock form they're going to have to be finished up a little bit better. But they're going to come it's a twenty degree angle going to clean the mountain tiny room in there okay to get some more paneling throughout."

Installing the Pre-Cut Paneling System
Installing the Pre-Cut Paneling System

Bob meets Jason Hill from New England Classic as their ready-measured and pre-cut paneling system is installed in the Manhattan Brownstone. This flat-panel classic American design is modeled after the Arts and Craft style made popular in the late 1800s. This paneling is made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) faced with a wood veneer. New England Classic offers Oak, Maple, Cherry, paint-grade wood, or a variety of standard finishes. The entire system is designed as a kit of parts that is custom fitted to the customer's space and style. Customers can go the the Web site and download design forms that gather the measurements and product specifics for the job. An in-house design team then creates a design, an installation plan, and a materials list. Once on-site the system is easy to assemble. First the center of the room is determined and marked, then the baseboard is set and leveled. The first panel is then centered on the line marking the center of the room. Panel adhesive is used on the back of each 3/8-inch panel to hold it in place and keep it off the wall enough to push it into the slot of the rabetted stile. The panel is then tapped into place and check for level. A top rail is slash cut along the edge before being installed with adhesive and nailed in place along the bead. A top cap completes the installation, and gives this panel a true 1890s feel.

Fabricating and Installing Colonial-Style Wood Wall Panels

Carpenter Bob Ryley is on location to begin work on a reproduction wood-paneled wall in the project home's formal dining area. The wall panels, which were inspired by a visit to the Winslow Crocker house, a 1790 example of Colonial architecture on Cape Cod,. They will be made from knot-free, select grade pine. After discussing the room's layout and consulting an architectural rendering, Ryley begins to cut, assemble, and dry fit the panel elements. Ryley first mills the vertical trim pieces, called stiles, and the horizontal rails on a router table. Next, a wall panel is milled from three boards which have been glued and clamped overnight. Finally, Bob and Ryley begin to temporarily assemble the panels on the wall. Once all the pieces of the wall panels have been test fit, final assembly can begin.

Entryway and Dining Room Tour

Bob tours the front vestibule, highlighting the beautiful stencil work done by Kim Sweet. The stencil work replaced moldings in many homes of this nineteenth century era. The stencil work is not just on the wall but extends to the ceiling. This small vestibule will take the artist four days to complete using oil based paint. Greg Rochlin meets with Bob to discuss a few architectural pieces that borrow modern technology, combine stock pieces to antiques to create an authentic paneled wall and inlayed flooring. Bob meets with Susanne Csongor and Christine Lane of CLC Interiors to discuss some of the choices made in decorating the dining room and front hall. They used dense busy patterned wallpaper in the small dining room to give it an intimate feel. Combining it with red cotton chintz drapes with goblet pleats to accent the berries in the wallpaper. A Russian rug on the floor in the hallway was the color palette inspiration for this room as well as a blue Greek turnkey pattern for the runner up the stairs.
