Decorate Your Rooms with New Moulding and Trim

A room’s overall look is fantastic because of your dedicated housekeeping efforts, but moulding trim can be difficult to keep new and looking fresh. This can often put a damper on your efforts in making a room look great.

Moulding, also known as trim, is usually placed around windows, doors, entryways, and wall corners, ceiling corners, as well as along edges and many other areas needing protection. Types like corner moulding, base moulding, door and casing trim, etc. help protect select areas from kicking, hitting, scratching, and denting. Corners are an easy target, as well as the floor to wall areas. Base moulding prevents damage to the drywall area alongside the floor. Aside from that, moulding works as a concealer to enhance the look of those areas.

Your floor to wall area does not look pretty, nor does the drywall alongside a window. Moulding covers that up and enhances the room dramatically. It is available in various sizes, lengths, widths, and shapes. Usually, you can purchase moulding by the foot or by a certain length. This allows you to get what you need without purchasing long lengths with excess material.

Moulding is available in various materials, like pine, poplar, oak, etc. They have various coatings, like stain, paint, and primed surfaces. Each type of material creates a certain look and some are more dependable than others. Oak is perhaps alongside cedar in strength and both have different grain looks. Pine is more affordable and carries its own unique grain look. Poplar also has its own grain look, but is easier to dent or scar since it is a softer wood material.

Aside from wood materials, moulding and trim are also available in materials like vinyl, composite, fiberboard, etc. In addition, moulding and trim are often routed or engraved with designs.

With this information, you will have the know-how and power to find moulding and trim that best suits your room, as well as you!
