I install baseboard over the planks.

I’m about to do this in our entryway and you’ve saved me making a couple mistakes I know I was going to make.

Cheers!

I don’t ever plan out the seams when staggering joints in flooring or planking. I use the cut-off from the last row to start the next row (unless it’s shorter than 6″). If one seam is going to line up with a seam in the previous row, I grab a new, full piece, or cut 6″ off (IF the ends of the planking is not tongue and groove. Most planking is just a blunt cut on the ends so that’s generally not an issue.).

The highest point of the vaulted wall is probably 15 ft (no more than that). We want to install white planking, but we are trying to decide whether to install it vertically or horizontally. Vertically seems like the easier way to avoid seams in the planks — esp if we have a chair rail — but some say it looks more like outdated paneling. Horizontally would be hard to hide seams on an extremely long wall with no windows — unless we create lots of obvious staggered seams — something I don’t want to plan out. What are other pros & cons of vertical vs horizontal planks? Is it easy to hide seams if installed horizontally? All advice welcome! Thanks!
