For several years my wife and I talked about redoing our master bedroom, and we finally decided to pull the trigger. In this video, we show you how to make a board & batten grid accent wall. We take you through the process from materials, to measuring and grid calculations, and techniques for a professional looking result. The materials for the wall only cost a few hundred dollars. Please drop a comment if you've done your own board & batten wall or used this video to help you do yours.

@JxBx80 Месяц назад

for me, taking the vertical boards all the way to the top was a bold move. I feel like the ceilings of my home have not been level enough to trust the top row would look right if I split them up into min pieces. I agree it would definitely be easier as long as you know that the tops will light up correctly.

@HandzforHire Месяц назад

That's a good point, but my walls were so long that I couldn't find a horizontal board to span the distance. I would have had a seam anyway, so that's why I decided to go vertical first and cut up the horizontal. Have a great day!

@dillon2319 Год назад

I’m the last person to do home fixes. But watching other videos, my recommendation would be to paint last due to having to spackle, caulk, and sand.

Love it. I wonder how one can improve the transition from the bottom 1x4 to the trim.

@HandzforHire 7 месяцев назад

Thanks! Yes, that's one challenge. The good news is that from an upper view angle, it's not noticeable. The only thing I could think of was possibly using thinner boards, but then the depth wouldn't be as dramatic. I think that's what makes the wall pop. Each time I come into the room, my eyes are drawn to the wall and not the transition so it doesn't bother me, but there has to be a way to make it perfect. Maybe new baseboards that don't bevel? Have a great day!

@richardburchett 5 месяцев назад

4:05 You should primer the boards before painting. The primer will cause the grain to raise up and you need to lightly sand again to get the boards nice and smooth. This will help the paint keep its color without soaking into the wood and keep the grain texture from popping up when you paint.

@lucabvca 7 месяцев назад

Shouldn’t the gaps between the trims be caulked instead of spackled? Wondering if it may crack from movement. Loved the video though! Glad to see helpful guides like this on RU-vid 😊

@HandzforHire 7 месяцев назад

Thanks! You bring up a really good point, and caulk is definitely better at expanding and contracting. The issue was the gaps between the boards were a little to large for caulk. Caulk can't be sanded but spackle can. I was going for the smooth surface, but you're right, it can crack over time. Perhaps a wood putty was the answer, but if it does get bad (and it hasn't yet), I could always patch pretty quickly in the future. Have a great day!

@drew7481 Год назад

I like it, big guy. Do the slabs sit flush on top of the baseboards? I’m assuming there’s some disparity but didn’t see a closeup. Anyhow, awesome video and I’m gonna handle a very similar project this weekend. Your effort came out beautifully.

@HandzforHire Год назад

Hi Drew! Thanks! The lowest horizontal board does stick out slight. The good news is it that it doesn't stick out too far, and your eye can't really tell. Your eye is draw to the wall and not the threshold between the board and base board. Hopefully you can get an idea of how it looks in the final shots towards end of the video. Good luck if you do a wall yourself!

@RajMukerjee Год назад

Excellent video. Really helped me a lot - one Q please? Did you use the finishing nailer on the studs or was it ok with liquid nails and on the drywall etc. ?

@HandzforHire Год назад

Thanks! I appreciate it! I used the finishing nailer throughout and many of them went through boards into drywall. If I didn't use liquid nails this would have been no good for long term, but the nails acted more like a clamp until the liquid nails dried. Liquid nails doesn't hold in place until it cures, so I would have ended up with separation from the drywall or gravitational sliding without nails. Good luck if you're gearing up for this project!

@nilshaugen3352 Год назад

Thank you for all the information - one question: some other videos removed the baseboard and added another horizontal board to make everything flush on the bottom. I noticed you didn't - are your boards not flush against the baseboard?

@HandzforHire Год назад

That is a valid point, and I considered removing the baseboard, but in the end wanted to keep the baseboard matching the rest of the baseboards in the room. This means that the lowest horizontal board does stick out slight. The good news is it that it doesn't stick out too far, and your eye can't really tell. Your eye is draw to the wall and not the threshold between the board and base board. Hopefully you can get an idea of how it looks in the final shots towards end of the video. Good luck if you do a wall yourself!

@AlmaGonzales-vc4yv Год назад

Thank you! One more question, on the base board. The vertical boards appear to be flush, did you angle these into the existing base board?

@HandzforHire Год назад

Actually, no. It's a square cut at the end. There's a little lip on the top of my base boards the was level and I just used that as my guide.

@robaubry7995 9 месяцев назад

@AlmaGonzales-vc4yv Год назад

This is what I am looking for! My walls are textured but don't want to sand down heavily. What are my options?

@HandzforHire Год назад

Some people choose to place a flat panel (medium density fiberboard (MDF)) over their textured sheetrock for a smooth finish. You can find fairly thin MDF and lay sheets of it over the sheetrock prior to adding the boards. It adds a bit to the budget, but you'll get a smooth finish. It is challenging to get a textured wall smooth.

How did you flush the boards at the bottom?

@HandzforHire 4 месяца назад

Great questions and they are not flush. I thought about this a lot, and I would have either needed to use thinner boards, or replaced the floor boards to make everything flush. I opted to leave as is and to be honest it still looks great. Because you look down on it, and the board sticks out farther than the tapered floor trim, you don't really notice it. Have a great day!

@alrice0202 Год назад

1/2 x 4 would definitely work. It just depends on the look you're going for! I did not nail into the studs in every case. A lot of times it was into the sheetrock and this is why I used the liquid nails. The nails help hold the boards to the sheetrock while the glue dries. 24 hours later, everything is rock solid.

@HandzforHire Год назад

I actually just went with the cheapest boards I could find (lol). These are pine common boards from Home Depot. I was careful while choosing. I tried straight boards with no sign of warping (not as easy as you'd think). I'd grab a board by one end and look down the length with one eye to if I saw any warping. i also tried to choose pieces without edges missing from tree knots. Hopefully that helps!

@XavierTerry-ds5sz 11 месяцев назад

You can get premade material out of pressed fiberboard and it is primed and saves time. A little more expensive but worth it to me.

@pamelabrown667 7 месяцев назад

Using liquid nails was a bad idea. What if you decide years later you don't want that look anymore? How would you remove the boards without messing up the wall?

@HandzforHire 7 месяцев назад

Good point, but if I switched it up, I'd probably just replace the sheetrock. It's similar to a tile backsplash in a kitchen. You have to use an adhesive so the boards are secure. If I just did the nail gun, it would be hard to get each board into the studs. A lot of nails are just into the sheet rock. If you decide to do it without adhesive, please let me know how it goes.

@HandzforHire 11 месяцев назад

Great question! We are the builders/first owners of this house so I know where the electric is behind the wall. All wires run through the studs so they are not close to the sheetrock. It wouldn't be possible to hit a wire through the board and sheetrock because the nails are not long enough. Have a great day!!

Yes, absolutely, but it is quite a bit more expensive. If you go to home depot, they'll show you where it is. Sometime the sanded wood has a bit of pre-conditioner after it's sanded which can influence the color of your stain, but for paint it's no problem at all.

Why did you paint then apply caulking then repainted it?

Good question and I could have just waited until after caulking to start painting. I just found that getting a coat on everything while it's accessible is quick any easy. Once everything was up I did a second coat, but didn't have to be as careful about missing spots because the majority of everything was still primed with the gray. You'd definitely be okay waiting until after, but you'd most likely need two coats after instead of 1 before and 1 after. Have a great day!

Any reason why you painted it 3 times and not just once after it was mounted 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

@HandzforHire 2 месяца назад

It was a bit overkill, but honestly painting was the quickest part of the whole job. I was able to paint all of the boards quickly on the ground which saved me detailing time when they were nailed up (especially around the border). I think I would have had to do two coats no matter what. It's perfectly fine to put them up, spackle, caulk, sand, and then paint too. Have a great day!

Can you do my Math for my wall 😅

@HandzforHire 9 дней назад

Haha, sure. Just send over the wall dimensions and I'll help you out.

@kjeksklaus7944 4 месяца назад

I think my problem is i don't do anything you do in the first 5 minutes. I just nail them up and paint.

@kjeksklaus7944 4 месяца назад

We're your walls concrete or sheetrock?

@HandzforHire Год назад

Hello! They are sheetrock.

@cometravelguyana6458 Год назад

@@HandzforHire can this be done on concrete walls as I am now building my house?

@HandzforHire Год назад

@@cometravelguyana6458I don't see why not. You can attach the boards with a glue product like liquid nails (specially designed to attach wood and concrete), and caulk in the same way I did in this video. You won't be able to use the nail gun, but if you really want to secure, you can drill and use screws to fasten. You'll have to go back and spackle the screw holes in your boards afterwards. Good luck if you decide to do it! I'm sure it will turn out nice!

There's not really a point of using the brad nailer if you're are not going into a stud. Also It looks like it may be an exterior wall....if it is you just made like 40 holes in your vapor barrier. Liquid nails and calking would have been the best practice.

@ryandimock8760 6 месяцев назад

I believe the exterior wall would have a window

get the right tools, put in the time, and this is a pretty simple job...really no need to hire someone to do this...(plus you learn skills you can use for other projects around the house)...

@HandzforHire 10 месяцев назад

So true! Couldn't agree more! Thanks for the comment!
