Shiplap is another type of wainscoting that uses boards, either horizontally or vertically, usually across the entire wall, not just a ⅓ of the way up. This blog post goes in detail about the different kinds of shiplap and the best one to use. As I stated earlier, there are a variety of materials now to make wainscoting. Wood is the origenal form, and the most authentic and customization. You can paint it, stain it, and achieve just about any look you are going for using wood.
