What is the difference between wainscotting and board and batten?

• <div><p>Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-wainscoting.htm">Common wainscotting styles</a> are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles. </p></div>

What are the boards between floor joists called?

• <div><p>The boards between floor joists are called <b>bridging or blocking boards</b>. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.</p></div>
