Floor Trim Moldings and Styles For Your Home

Three Main Styles of Floor Trim

Baseboard is the trim that defines where the floor ends and the wall begins. It also protects your wall material from the wear and tear of mops and vacuum cleaners.

Baseboard is usually thinner than door trim, which is called casing, and at least one-third wider. This difference in thickness necessitates an offset joint where the baseboard meets the door trim. Sometimes a transitional trim piece called a plinth block (pictured above) is used here.

The options for baseboard are almost endless, but they can all be divided into three categories: mop boards, two-piece and profiled baseboards.

Read on to understand more about the three categories.
