Choosing Your Style

Simple profiles work in modern homes. Traditional spaces suit elaborate multi-piece installations. Consider room height when selecting molding size.

Installation Basics

Cope inside corners for tight fits. Miter outside corners carefully. Use a compound miter saw for accurate angle cuts. Practice on scrap pieces first.

Finishing Touches

Fill nail holes with wood filler. Caulk gaps between molding and surfaces. Prime and paint for a professional finish.
