wainscot

[Chris Colston]

How about if they call it just surround?

Cause when you have a "claw foot" tub that sits on it's own legs in the room, there is no surround, but there is still wainscot from the floor up to about 4 feet. Might even have a chair rail and wall paper.

OK, you're right let's be correct in .001% of the properties instead of 99.999%

Makes sense.:laugh:

Wainscoting doesn't have to be wood; it can be any number of materials. I've seen everything from seashells to marble (complete with marble trim and base paneling).

 

[Hall McClenahan]

From THE REAL ESTATE DICTIONARY, Fifth Edition, copywright 1991, page 167;

Wainscoting -- the covering of an interior wall with wood (usually panels), tiles, ect., from the floor to a point about half way to the ceiling; the remaining portion is painted, wallpapered, or covered with another material different from the lower portion.

Because the word "surround" by itself is a verb. Its use in the form requires it to be a noun. LOL

It is the tub/shower surround. Wainscot is wood panel capped w/wood trim usually, but in a bath it refers to the surround.

 

[Doug Trites]

Make it simple. It is the area around the tub and/or shower. Thats what the people want to see. They do not care about the real definition.

 

[Tom Foster]

And then you get the house with 5 baths and every bath has a different wainscot material.
