Base Moulding

Are you looking for a way to bring everything together? Base molding is one of the easiest upgrades to finish a room, providing a clean transition between walls and floors while adding subtle architectural detail. At Woodwork Manufacturing & Supply, we offer a wide variety of molding profiles, from sleek and simple to ornate and traditional, to achieve the exact look you want for your project.

What is Base Moulding?

Also referred to as baseboard trim, this type of molding is the strip of material installed at the bottom of interior walls. Its primary purpose is to cover the joint where the wall meets the floor, hiding gaps and protecting walls from scuffs, kicks, and vacuum marks.

Beyond its practical function, it enhances your interior design, adding a polished, finished look to any space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are available for base molding?

Typically, this molding is made from wood, MDF (medium-density fiberboard), or composites. Wood offers timeless beauty and can be stained or painted. MDF is smooth and cost-effective, and composites resist moisture and warping, which is ideal for high-humidity areas.

How tall should base molding be?

The standard height ranges from 3 to 5 inches, but taller profiles - 6 inches or more - are typically used in larger rooms or homes with higher ceilings. The scale of your room and design style will determine the height you choose.

Can it be customized?

Yes! We offer a wide variety of profiles that can be further customized in size, material, and finish to suit your home’s unique qualities.

Does it require a lot of maintenance?

Not a ton. Typical routine dusting and occasional cleaning with a damp cloth will keep your molding looking fresh. Painted or stained finishes can be touched up as needed over time.

How does base molding coordinate with other trim?

It’s uniquely designed to complement casing, crown molding, and other millwork. Implementing matching or coordinated styles ensures a consistent design throughout your home.
