Spending all that time house cleaning certainly pays off, but imagine how much better your rooms would look with fresh, new moulding. Moulding, also known as molding or trim, is prone to damage, cracks, breakage, coming loose, disappearing, and sometimes fading. Therefore the visual appeal from your hard work gets dampened by the unsightly views of damaged moulding. Just like a rusted bike with a brand new seat. It just doesn’t work as good at making the bike look awesome. It may be time to replace your interior moulding.

Moulding is made from numerous materials, such as pine, oak, polyurethane, composite, etc. Wood moulding adds the awesome touch of wood grain looks to bring that natural look to any room. Polyurethane and composite are very durable and clean easier. Most are primed to allow for painting to your choice of color.

Aside from materials, finishes are available. Moulding comes in unfinished, finished, and primed options. Unfinished moulding provides the advantage of being able to be painted or stained to your likings. Finished trim makes it easier by already being finished and ready to install. Primed moulding allows you to paint whatever color or colors you like with whatever paint you prefer.

Lastly, moulding comes in various designs. You can find standard moulding that is almost flat, but has a slight curve to it from top to bottom. The bottom is thicker than the top. However, you will find more expensive options like circular patterns, square patterns, line patterns, and even wavy patterns. You may even find a combination pattern made of two or more of these patterns.

Understanding the main elements of moulding will give you the power to find exactly what you need. You may be familiar with some elements already or you may even know all about them. But no matter, anything you didn’t know will certainly help you better at finding the perfect moulding and making your cleaning efforts more worthwhile, just like the bike if you removed the rust.
