The reason for the seamless look is that in this type of paneling, minimum nails are used. It can’t be nail free but this technique is very close to achieving a smooth surface. This type of paneling can be done on the floor, wall sidings, and even on ceilings.

Though this type of paneling can also be used for ceiling or wainscoting, it looks absolutely gorgeous when used for wall paneling.
