Interior Trim Definition<\/h2>\n

Interior trim<\/strong> (also known as molding or millwork) refers to materials that are most commonly used to frame floors, walls, windows, and doorways. Its main purpose and function are aesthetic and decorative.<\/p>\n

Explanation<\/h2>\n

There are different types of interior trim.<\/p>\n

Crown<\/strong> – borders the ceiling and is usually wide and bold.<\/p>\n

Casing<\/strong> – fills in the gap between the wall and the doorway. It is also the framing around the window or door.<\/p>\n

Baseboard<\/strong> – molding that lines the bottom of the walls. It can go plain or exotic depending on the style of home.<\/p>\n

Picture rail<\/strong> – molding used to hang pictures from so as to not nail into the drywall.<\/p>\n

Chair rail<\/strong> – molding that runs along the lower half of the wall towards the baseboards. It\u2019s usually thin.<\/p>\n

Cove<\/strong> or coving<\/strong> is concave in shape and used where the wall meets the ceiling. Cove is used instead of crown when a less complex effect is desired.<\/p>\n

Dentil<\/strong> – usually in historic homes, Dentil is a repeated pattern that\u2019s used inside crown molding. This effect is extremely detailed and complex.<\/p>\n

Shiplap<\/strong> – consists of plywood or planks of wood that fit together appealing to a more coastal look.
