        "text": "The main difference is installation depth and drywall requirements. Traditional raised or recessed picture-frame wainscoting uses dimensional stiles, rails, and panels, sometimes requiring smooth underlying drywall or backer panels. Beadboard consists of narrow vertical grooved planks or tongue-and-groove sheets that install quickly and provide a classic, informal look. If your existing walls have heavy texture, full-panel wainscoting or skim-coating the lower drywall is necessary for picture-frame moulding to sit flat, whereas full beadboard panels cover textured drywall directly without extra wall prep.",
