Brick Mold Overview

Brick mold is a type of exterior trim used to provide a finished transition between the exterior siding or brickwork of a house and the window or door frame. It is designed to cover the gap where the brick or other exterior material meets the frame, creating a clean, protective, and weather-resistant boundary.

Profile Description

  • Features a rectangular or slightly beveled profile that extends outward, with one edge fitting against the window or door frame and the other edge meeting the exterior material (brick, siding, stucco).
  • Typically has a flat or slightly angled face to shed water, preventing moisture infiltration.
  • Often comes with a simple, squared design, although some variations may include subtle decorative grooves or bevels for aesthetic purposes.
  • Usually made from durable materials like wood, PVC, or composite, suitable for outdoor use and weather resistance.

Purpose

  • Serves as a protective barrier, covering the gap between exterior brickwork or siding and the door or window frame.
  • Provides structural support to help secure windows and doors in place.
  • Enhances weatherproofing by helping to block moisture, drafts, and pests from entering through the gap.
  • Adds a finished and polished look to the exterior transition between the wall and the window or door.

Common Uses

Window Trim: Installed around the outside perimeter of window frames to create a seamless and weather-resistant transition between the window and exterior siding or brick.

Door Trim: Used around exterior door frames to protect the junction where the door frame meets the house’s exterior material.

Exterior Siding Transitions: Helps bridge the gap between wood, vinyl, or fiber-cement siding and windows or doors, creating a visually appealing and protective edge.

Garage Doors: Applied around garage door frames where they meet exterior brick or siding, providing both protection and a clean, finished appearance.

Historical or Classic Home Exteriors: Frequently seen on traditional or older homes with brick exteriors, where they add a touch of classic detailing to the window and door frames.

How a Profile Molding Knife Works

  1. The profile knife itself is a piece of metal designed to be attached to a planer or molding machine.
  2. The profile of the cutting edge replicates the specific design of the bevel molding you want to create.
  3. By running wood planks through the machine with the profile knife attached, the wood is shaped into the desired bevel molding profile.
