Wainscot Panels

Wainscot panels are short steel panels installed at the base of exterior walls. They serve two key purposes: protecting the building’s lower wall section from impact, dirt, and moisture, and adding an attractive design detail with a contrasting color or finish. Indaco Metals fabricates wainscot panels to match or complement your building’s main wall system, making them both functional and aesthetic.

Whether you’re building an agricultural barn, commercial facility, or residential workshop, wainscot panels extend the life of your wall system while improving curb appeal.
