Raised-panel wainscot anatomy — bottom rail, stiles, raised panels, top rail, and cap rail

What this diagram shows

A raised-panel wainscot elevation labeling every part. A profiled cap rail overhangs the top, sitting on a flat top rail; a continuous bottom rail sits on the baseboard; and evenly spaced vertical stiles run between the two rails, with a stile at each end (in every corner). Between each pair of stiles is one bay holding a single raised panel — a profiled panel that projects toward the room, drawn with a beveled chamfer at its four corners to distinguish it from a flat Shaker panel. Because there is a stile at each end, four stiles make three bays: the number of panels is the number of stiles minus one. Each panel height is the field between the bottom of the top rail and the top of the bottom rail. Running the same frame tall — nearly to the ceiling instead of stopping at chair-rail height — is called judges paneling.
