Learn how to install beadboard with trim on top. In this video, we'll walk through putting beadboard in a small bathroom and how to cut around pipes, counters, etc. Take a look at the finished product and start on your project today!
I LOVE when DIYers admit to not being great at math, but they still just rock through! I would love to show such portions to middle school math kids, so they can accept that : Yes, getting good at math HELPS.
No offense man, but a 1" brad nail is going through 1/4" bead board, and presumably 5/8" drywall (with mud and paint)--that leaves you 1/8" max for hitting any wood (studs)--which it doesn't look like you identified. This means drywall is holding your work up. This won't last, my friend. At minimum, go around your work now, mark your stud locations, and shoot 2", 18 gauge nails where appropriate. You'll have to fill and paint a little more, but this will help in the long run. Good luck.
I agree. Brad nails should have been bedded along studs, and the board glued on the back to re-enforce. Over time the panel will buckle up and might misalign due to settling, especially between summer and winter transition.
I'm not a pro, but a 2" nail is long enough to make me a little uncomfortable. After going through 1/4" beadboard and 5/8" drywall, you're getting 1 1/8" penetration into the stud. There might be holes for wires/pipes only 1 1/4" from the surface of the stud. Be careful! I would consider a slightly shorter nail. Thanks for the tip!
@@PatrickBoatner 1 1/2'' 16ga or 18ga both will work but should mark out studs and nail into that also construction adhesive should be used with that . ive done many that way and never had a problem with mine or a call back about a failure .
Thanks for this. I'm getting ready to do this kind of a project. About the pipe, I think I would have opted to drill a hole where the pipe is and then cut down the length to avoid the U pattern. But..nobody's going to notice.
Finally a great video on this subject and I feel ready to go ahead!! No wonder so many subscriptions! Even better explained than Home Depot's video and this is coming from a 52 year old lady! :-)
Happy I found your video , you really explained this process very well. I’m really wanting to do this in my dining room after seeing your video I think I can do it! Your bathroom is beautiful! Great job 👏🏾 thanks for sharing ☺️
Don't use this as an instructional video. He does multiple things wrong, namely in how he secured it. Random Brad nails into drywall and not studs means this will be falling off, especially considering it's in a bathroom where steam will cause the wood to expand and contract. Use construction adhesive and Brad nails which are set into the studs.
elizabeth nash His wainscoting will fall off the wall, probably sooner than later!!!! He failed to use adhesive on the back side before placing them on the wall!!! He also failed to use a stud finder, so his brad nails most likely will come out of the drywall later!!!! Not to mention you should always remove the shoe and baseboard molding in order for the panels to be at the proper height!!!! Do not follow this example anyone, he doesn't have any business making DIY videos!!!! You can find other videos of it on line where it is done properly!!!! Best Wishes
+Buck Shroyer What is proper height? We are about to do wainescoating all in the basement but I didn't know there was a proper or improper height. Explain.
I'm left wondering how you identified where the studs were, as most common is 16" on center but watching the video it looked like you were using the brad gun and shooting at random, thus just into sheetrock. I think we can both agree that without a adhesive on the beadboard this will never work. Please advise. Thanks for thanking the time to make a video as I am hours away from doing the same in one of my bathrooms but I divided the the beadboard by 3 i.e. 32" with a 3" rail on top thus 35" and a 4" trim molding for the bottom. Thanks again for sharing.
i am remodeling my laundry room, installing nickel lap siding along the wall of the cabinets and butcher block top, problem is the over hang of the top and about 5" of wall space to the first panel. the problem i am seeing is the first panel has to be cut almost in half with notching around the counter top. good video, thanks for posting
This is a great and very helpful video. Thank you. I am an American, but it would seem a lot easier to measure in millimeters or centimeters rather than trying to add bizarre fractions, as if we were in middle school. Of course, that is assuming he has access to a metric measuring tape.
Good video. The only thing that I wish you would have shown is how you figured out the cuts that went around the outlets, etc. Do you have e another video that goes into more details on that, by chance? :)
I don't but it's really just a matter of measuring it. Once you have a piece in place next to an outlet, measure the distant to the outlet from that piece (the edge of your new piece) and then from the baseboard (the bottom of your new piece). Measure the size of the hole you need for your outlet and draw it, starting at the bottom corner that you marked using the first two measurements.
Hi, I like how that turned out, good work!. I wanted to ask if you only nailed the the top and the bottom part of the panels. Did you put nails in the middle as well? Thank you
A lot of trolls on your channel but I think you did a great job. I bought the wallpaper that looks like bead board. Weird material and tore so easy. Hard to get the lines not to show. What a nitemare 🤦I jus tore it all down in my bathroom. It's not easier than doing the real thing. So going to Lowes to buy the real bead board.
Hi. Did you use the PVC beadboard or just the regular wood beadboard? If PVC, what type of paint did you use as I know latex generally peels off...thanks!
How did you clean that fit up between the two panels (bead and no bead) saw a gap. When finished looked good. I’m doing same project in bathroom was wondering about that top trim. Good info
It's been a while but I believe that by making the cuts on the groove you can just paint right over it (if it comes out tight) or you can caulk the gap.
Thanks for posting - i see you got some replies from angry Bob Vilas unless they plan on crapping on a daily basis in YOUR bathroom I'd ignore - even tho they made valid points - that you admitted too. Anyway - I'm about to do this in my bathroom -,thanks again.
Not terrible, but too much caulk. While it’s still pliable, wipe with a wet finger or rag to remove excess caulk. Also, I agree with everyone saying your brads aren’t holding anything if they’re just shot into drywall. In a high moisture area like a bathroom, that’ll buckle over time if you don’t glue it.
I followed your steps and mostly it worked except the paint part. while painting it is covering the lines in the bead board to a great extent and making it look like flat wall from a distance. Any tips on that?
Hello sir! Can you please advise me? Im not sure what can be done about the beadboard MDF that i added along the long wall facing the outside in my basement. It seems to have expanded and is wavy now. Apparently there are supposed to be joints in between the boards but I didn't know of this issue previously. And I watched few videos and no one left any gaps between the boards. Thanks!
The finish nails have larger heads and need to be hammered in individually. As long as the pressure on the nail gun is set properly, brads tends to be much easier and just as effective. Just be sure, either way, to drive the nails or brads into studs.
love this video, you like send from God just to give me long distance hands up, when I bought the house the bathroom already had it, but it look way to short maybe like 3' tall well to be specific the same high of the sink. went to home depot to buy them again and install them again because I like the look but if it's do righ, but the only one I find comes so short too. How many feet high are the one you got?
This is my first beadboard tutorial I've seen. I'm a stickler for authenticity, so I gotta ask, is premanufacrured paneling the way beadboard was done in the past? Would there be individual wooden pieces just snugged up together to look like that?
I would recommend NOT using wood. The big box stores have foam, and trim that is designed just for bathrooms. It’s mold and mildew resistant. So bathroom moisture doesn’t warp/damage, plywood.
its better without the studs so it can be easier to remove it later if you decide that you dont like it. Its not like you want it to stay tacked on the wall forever. it really just needs to look good temporarily
VIEWER BEWARE! I have never seen such an unprofessional install. There was no stud locating for proper securing of nails, no adhesive, the beadboard panels appear to be made of mdf material which should NEVER be used in an area of high moisture like a bathroom or kitchen, the existing trim should have been removed first to allow for proper height of beadboard, etc.
+balerick48 What is proper height? We are about to do wainescoating all in the basement but I didn't know there was a proper or improper height. Explain.
Not true I have beadboard that they said it can’t be use in the bathroom, I am going on 5 years and still looks good just make sure you prime it and use high gloss paint
nailing into studs is the right way. or at least some good adhesive. sorry, but the seams were obvious. too bad too because you are a good instructor. just need to learn better installation techniques.
@@furiousmojo1 newflash, its going to look the same whether he uses harbor freight tools or dewalt/milwaukee. Sure, the tools may not last as long, but they will do the job just as well. It sounds to me like your fragile little ego is hurt by someone using some non-usa made tools. SOMEONES GOT A CASE OF THE WAH WAHS
@@BarryChapman 13% gave him a thumbs down. and he hasn't posted a video whining about people not liking him or been playing with Play Doh on youtube trying to un-snow flake himself. In other words, i find it amazing you are more disturbed by someone complimenting a stranger while offering a critique. You must be a special kind of snow flake. Can't even believe I am commenting on a response to a video I watched and commented on years ago.while sitting on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Cheerio Snow Flake.
FYI: Real bead board is actually made out of solid wood (back in the day). Anything else is faux. It's hard to find a video where real solid wood is used. Nice easy job. ty I'm doing mine plank by plank.
Good lord, this is the 2nd video I have watched from this guy... dude has no idea wtf he is doing. Please don't follow him, your projects will be falling apart within months.
