Fire Casing Moulding

Fire casing moulding is the perfect choice for each doorway in your home or business that requires both beauty and protection. It is much more than a decorative trim, as it gives a finished and professional appearance while playing its important part in fire safety and compliance.

What is Fire Casing Moulding?

Fire casing moulding is the special trim placed around door openings to cover the gaps and add a finished touch. The difference it makes from other moldings consists of the materials it is made from, usually fire-resistant or treated to help in controlling the spread of flames and smoke in case of fire.

These mouldings are designed for both form and function. They come in many profiles, wood types, and finishes to match any interior design. Whether you're outfitting a modern commercial space or renovating a traditional home, this trim helps you maintain your aesthetic while enhancing safety and code compliance.
