Moulding Styles & Materials
What is the difference between colonial and modern moulding?
Colonial moulding typically features traditional curves, decorative edges, and detailed profiles. Modern moulding generally emphasizes cleaner lines, flatter surfaces, and simpler geometric shapes.
What is the difference between MDF and solid wood moulding?
MDF moulding is an engineered wood product that provides a smooth, consistent surface for painting. Solid wood moulding is made from natural lumber and is available in different wood species for painted or stained applications.
What is the difference between crown moulding and baseboard moulding?
Crown moulding is typically installed where walls meet ceilings, creating a decorative transition. Baseboard moulding is installed along the bottom of walls, covering the joint between the wall and floor while protecting the wall from everyday wear.
