wainscots
Lower wall covering
Wainscots are wooden panels lining the lower portion of interior walls, typically extending three or four feet from the floor.
The singular wainscot refers to this paneling collectively or to the material itself.
Wainscoting adds architectural detail and protects walls from scuffing: The dining room featured dark oak wainscots.
To wainscot a room is to install such paneling.
