Casing Overview

Casing Molding is a type of trim used to frame windows and doors, covering the gap between the wall and the frame. It provides a finished look to doorways and windows by creating a clean boundary around them. Casing Molding comes in various styles, from simple and flat designs to more intricate, decorative profiles, and is essential for completing interior and exterior trim work.

Profile Description

  • Typically features a flat or slightly curved face, with a variety of decorative edge treatments like bevels, ogees, or bullnoses.
  • Can be simple and flat, or more detailed with profiles that include multiple curves, coves, or steps for a more ornate appearance.
  • Generally, has a straight back that sits flush against the wall and frame, with its front side creating a decorative border around the door or window.
  • Available in various widths, from narrow trim for minimalist designs to wider, more decorative casings for a grander look.

Purpose

  • Covers the gap between door/window frames and the surrounding wall, creating a seamless and finished appearance.
  • Provides protection to the edges of walls and frames from wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas.
  • Enhances the overall aesthetic by adding decorative detail to otherwise plain doorways and windows.
  • Helps unify the look of a room by matching with baseboards, crown moldings, and other trim elements.

Common Usage

Door Frames: Commonly installed around both interior and exterior door frames to provide a finished and polished look.

Window Frames: Used to trim the edges of window openings, offering a clean transition between the window frame and the surrounding wall.

Cased Openings: Applied around doorless openings between rooms to give them the appearance of a framed passageway.

Archways: Often used to finish archways, especially in classic or traditional architectural styles.

Matching with Baseboards and Crown Molding: Casings are frequently paired with baseboards and crown molding for a cohesive and unified trim design throughout a room or house.

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 door stop 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 door stop molding profile.
