Resources
Things to keep in mind:
- • Expansion gaps are mandatory for all flooring installations. Trim covers these gaps and prevents moisture infiltration.
- • Measure twice, cut once. Precise measurements ensure proper fit and minimize waste of materials.
- • Miter corners for professional appearance. Professional cuts create seamless transitions at room corners.
- • Stain or paint before installation when possible. This creates cleaner lines and easier application.
- • Use appropriate fastening methods. The right nails or screws ensure trim stays in place permanently.
- • Caulk gaps and joints for a seamless, finished appearance and added protection.
- • Match trim to your flooring or décor for a cohesive, professional look.
- • Different trim types for different areas. Use baseboards at walls, transitions at doorways, and reducers for level changes.
- • Installation must be level and plumb. Use a level to ensure trim sits straight for proper appearance.
