For a trim replacement service, it is important to learn about the different types of molding that exist so you can install one that suits your home best. Here’s a list below to help you identify available moldings:
Casing
This is the trim molding that surrounds windows on the inside and outside of your home, covering the empty space between the walls and the frame of the window or door. These are essential in ensuring that your home has a finished appearance and is often installed when it is first constructed. However, exchanging them for new style can be a small, but significant change that affects the overall appearance of your home’s interior and exterior.
Baseboards
This type of molding is located at the bottom-most section of a wall, where the wall and floor connect. They elegantly underscore interior rooms and hallways, while also protecting your walls from being scuffed by sofa or chair legs. Baseboards, with matching crown molding, also help frame your interiors to create a refined, cohesive appearance throughout your home.
Crown Molding
Crown molding is another kind of trim molding that, along with matching casing and baseboards, will help evoke fully-developed interior that paves the way for an amazing set-up for your indoor home décor. These are clad in the corner between the ceiling and the top of each wall, which may be a challenging trim replacement or installation.
Chair Rail
While this form of trim molding has been placed to protect walls from being damaged by scuffing or overzealous chair-pushing, it has also become a creative way to enhance and add variety to one’s interior design by placing wallpaper below the rail and painting the wall above it in a matching color. This is a great example of how trim molding can be used toward improving a homeowner’s interior, but there are other ways too.
Wainscoting
Wainscoting are panels formed from squares or rectangles of trim molding and are often placed a few inches or so above the baseboards. Another way to improve your interior décor is by painting the portion of the wall inside the panel in a color that complements or contrasts the wall outside of the panel, which creates a vibrant exchange of hues throughout your home.
