A spec toggle with a height. Wall skin rectangles are split at the wainscot boundary so the band and the field above it are separate panels with separate colours and separate BOM lines.
Also called: wainscot · two tone walls · lower wall accent
- 1Wall decomposition splits rects at the horizontal wainscot line before openings are punched.
- 2The takeoff emits a Wainscot panel line grouped by band height, separate from the field wall steel.
- 3Wainscot has its own swatch palette and its own default binding (board-and-batten 26ga) in the material catalogue.
- 4The stone-veneer service measures its band against the wainscot height when one is enabled.
Wainscot is one of the most common post-frame upsells and the one most often eyeballed in a quote, because pricing it properly means splitting every wall's steel at the band height. The wall skin is split at the band, so the two colours are drawn correctly and bought correctly, each at its own height. What the customer sees on the render is what the yard sends.
- Wainscot treated as a colour note rather than a separate panel run.
