Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between trim and moulding?
The terms are often used interchangeably. In practical use, trim refers to any flat or profiled wood used to finish edges, transitions, or openings. Baseboards, casing, and window stools are all trim. Moulding often implies a profiled piece with a decorative shape. Windsor Plywood carries both categories under a broad trim and moulding selection.
What trim profiles work best in a modern or contemporary interior?
Flat, square-edge profiles with minimal ornamentation are the hallmark of modern interiors. Thin baseboard with a clean top edge, simple flat-stock casing, and shadow-gap reveals instead of cap mouldings all read as contemporary. The profile should disappear into the architecture rather than draw attention to itself.
Should interior trim match the door and window frames?
In traditional and craftsman interiors, matching trim throughout creates cohesion. In contemporary design, mixing clean flat trim on walls with a contrasting door frame detail is increasingly common. Consistency within a room is more important than matching every surface in the house.
What is base cap and base shoe trim used for?
Base cap sits on top of the baseboard and adds a decorative transition to the wall. Base shoe is a small flexible moulding at the bottom of the baseboard that covers the gap between the baseboard and the floor, particularly useful where the floor is uneven. Both are finishing details that elevate the overall quality of a trim installation.
How do I handle trim around door frames that are not perfectly plumb?
Use a scribe or adjust the reveal line to maintain visual consistency even if the frame is slightly out of plumb. Scribe the casing to follow minor wall irregularities if necessary. A consistent 3/16-inch reveal on the door frame is more important visually than perfect plumb alignment of the outer casing edge.
