Trim and moldings
Trim gives flooring a finished look. It comes in different shapes and different materials like bare wood, primed wood, PVC, medium-density fiberboard, and vinyl. Choose raw wood for staining and primed wood for painting. Fiberboard is usually the least costly. Styles like smooth, beaded, and ornate are available. Trim completes a hardwood flooring project by
- ● providing a transition between two types of flooring in adjoining rooms.
- ● hiding joints placed for expansion and contraction.
- ● covering gaps and edges.
Molding is a type of trim that is more decorative. It is often characterized by elaborate details that enhance the look of the flooring. Shoe or quarter round molding finishes off the floor. The molding is placed between the flooring and the baseboard. It hides the expansion gap that is needed for every wood floor. Both types of molding can be stained and finished to match the hardwood flooring or painted to match the baseboard. Simple baseboard moldings usually measure 3- to 5-inches while more sophisticated styles can be higher. Combining several types of molding, like baseboard, wainscoting, and a chair rail creates an eye-catching effect.
