Molding

Usage

Base shoe molding

A combination of the baseboard and quarter round; a flat profile, with a rounded lip at the bottom of the molding. This molding is used when shallower profiles are required – behind bookshelves, for instance.

End molding

Yet another transition molding that is used when level differences between two rooms are even greater, or when looking to find a transition between a laminate floor and a sliding glass door, for instance.

Reducer molding

A transition molding that is placed flat on a floor between two rooms that have slight level differences – between laminate and tile, for example.

T molding

A transition molding used between two rooms of the same level. This type of molding is shaped like a “T” when looked at in a cross-section.

Stair Nose molding

For use when making a transition between a laminate floor and stairs. The molding hooks over the edge of the first stair, with one edge on the surface of the flooring, and the other on the vertical face of the stair.

Quarter round molding

Used in the same way as a base shoe molding, behind cabinets where a low profile molding is better suited to support an object flush against the wall.

Baseboards

A very commonly known molding with a flat vertical surface or “profile”, used in the same way as a quarter round; a transition between floor and wall.
