Installing the Panels With the base rails complete, Pat and Jodi begin handling the panels. Next, they begin installing the stiles, which are placed about every two feet along the wall . These stiles will hold the paneling in place. Pat and Jodi cover steps such as proper spacing, nailing into the wall and applying the top cap. After the panels are in place, it is time for the cap molding, which trims out the project.
Crown molding trims out the top cap.
