        "text": "When wainscoting meets door trim, window casings, or stairs, the thickness of each trim profile must align cleanly. Ideally, existing door casings should be thicker than the wainscoting stiles and cap rail so the wainscoting terminates flush against a backband or flat edge. If your door trim is thinner than the new wainscoting, your carpenter will add a backer piece, taper the cap molding, or replace the casing with a deeper profile to prevent raw trim edges from sticking out.",

        "description": "The cap rail and stiles should die into door casings that are thicker than the panels; if existing trim is too thin, backer trim or custom tapers are added."
