 DIFFERENT KINDS /TYPES OF MOLDINGS

Introduction

Moulding (also spelled molding in the United States though usually not within
the industry), also known as coving (United Kingdom, Australia), is a strip of material
with various profiles used to cover transitions between surfaces or for decoration. It
is traditionally made from solid milled wood or plaster, but may be of plastic or
reformed wood. In classical architecture and sculpture, the molding is often carved
in marble or other stones.

A "plain" molding has right-angled upper and lower edges. A "sprung" molding
has upper and lower edges that bevel towards its rear, allowing mounting between
two non-parallel planes (such as a wall and a ceiling), with an open space behind.
Moldings may be decorated with paterae as long, uninterrupted elements may be
boring for eyes.

Discussion

DIFFERENT TYPES OF MOLDING

What is Moulding or Molding?

The art of woodworking is as old as many ancient civilizations including
believed beginnings to be in ancient Greece and ancient Rome. The definition
of Moulding means a: a decorative recessed or relieved surface or b: a
decorative plane or curved strip used for ornamentation or finishing,
according to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary. Moulding became a popular way
in countries like Canada, England and other parts of Europe to help
woodworkers build aesthetically pleasing features to their homes. This is why
moulding often helps to increase home values and desirability in homes in
the modern day.
The practice of Moulding or Molding began as an art form with
woodwork and was traditionally made with solid milled wood. However, new
technologies have allowed molding to be made with PVC plastics and
sometimes stone.
Fun Fact: Molding is often referred to as Coving in the United Kingdom and
Australia!
There common different styles of molding including:

• Astragal, which is a semi-circular type of molding. It is attached to a

single or pair of doors to help cover the gap where they meet. It is a
common type and style of molding found in a lot of modern homes.
• Convex molding, is a type of moulding that is carved in imitation of a
twisted rope or cord. It was most commonly used for decorative

2|P age
 moldings in Romanesque style in England, France and Spain. Convex
moulding was found to be commonly adapted for 18th-century silver
and furniture design thanks to renowned furniture designer Thomas
Sheraton, according to the Lewis, Philippa & Gillian Darley (1986)
Dictionary of Ornament.
• Casing, is the finished trim found around the sides of a door or window
opening covering. It helps to bridge the gap between the finished wall
and the frame to which it is attached. This is another common molding
design element found in many modern homes.
• Keel molding, is another example of early English styles of decorative
moulding. It is a sharp-edged moulding design resembling a cross-
section of a ship’s keel.
• Crown molding, is wide, sprung molding. This style of molding,
considered to be an upgraded style of design and function, is used at
the junction of an interior wall and ceiling. It is the general term for any
molding at the top or “crowning” an architectural element.

Mouldings in a building or home provide a variety of functions ranging from

simple to functional and decorative. On the simple side, moldings do a great
job of helping to hide natural joints in the framing process while building a
structure.
In addition, the dozens of design combinations allow for a decorative element.
These are the types of features many will add to homes to help increase
property value. The benefit to using a moulding is that the concaves apply
light and darkened-shaded stripes to a natural object without paint or
pigment.
Lastly, mouldings are also beneficial for use as a weather-sealing joint, which
adds to its form and function in a house or building. Often, mouldings are
used for the benefit of all three advantages.
With the basic elements, purpose and function, along with various types and
styles of moulding, they can be rearranged in thousands of combinations to
help provide an efficient, but timeless and decorative look to any structure.

CROWN MOLDING
Crown molding are those added trim pieces at the top of the room – usually where
the ceiling and walls meet or at the top of cabinets. There are a few types of crown
molding:

Traditional Crown
This type of molding tends to be the most standard in homes. Although it is
the standard style of molding, adding it to
your home can make your home look and
feel more upscale. Keep in mind this style
of molding doesn’t fit with every style of
home. Traditional Crown Molding, like in
the name, is very traditional, so it will work
best with a classic style home.

Stacked Crown
This type of molding is made up of many pieces of molding that are stacked on top
of one another for a uniformed look. Installed this type of molding in homes that
have ceilings higher than 8 or 9 feet. Stacked Crown Molding works as a decorative
and functional element that adds character to your room while ridding the gap
between your cabinets and ceiling.

Stepped Crown
Stepped, or staggered, molding is found above cabinets and vary in heights. This
popular custom renovation technique refines and accentuates the cabinet
arrangement. You can empathize the stepped design with with stacked molding on
higher cabinet boxes and less stacked molding on the lower boxes.

molding:
Edge Molding
This type of molding can be added to almost every part of a cabinet or shelf. Edge
molding is added to the outside edge or boarder of a cabinet or shelving. Molding,
especially decorative moldings, will add a new design feature to your cabinetry
while giving your room more character.

Dentil Molding
Dentil Molding is created with blocks attached in sequence with a small gap
between them. It can be used in perimeter room crown molding or at the top of
cabinets to add extra dimension.
Skin Panels
Skin Panels are a type of trim molding that are used to unify a new look in a
kitchen. For example, kitchens where you are painting oak cabinets often have an
end cabinet where the side panels have deep grain. Adding a skin can smooth out
the look and help it match to newer enameled cabinetry.
Corner Molding
Inside and outside corner molding can cover raw edges of cabinetry, making the
look much more polished.
Scribe Molding
Scribe molding is a thin piece of trim that covers any gaps between your cabinets
and the wall. It’s a way solve any visible inconsistencies that occur when
remodeling in older homes.
Toe Kick Molding
Toe Kick molding covers the toe space (indented space where the floor and lower
cabinets meet) to cover the exposed wood and allows your feet to stand closer to
your workspace.
Filler Molding
Filler can either fill unplanned space where the cabinet meets the wall or can be
added to space the cabinets so drawers and doors can open to their full capacity.
Starter / Riser
A Starter or Riser Molding is used as a mounting frame for other moldings to increase
the overall height of a crown molding group, or to connect the cabinets with the
ceiling, eliminating the space between the upper cabinets & ceiling. It can vary in
height depending on the gap that needs to be filled.
Cabinet molding can help customize your kitchen project by adding detail or
the necessary support that your new kitchen cabinets need. You may have heard of
how crown molding adds detail, but did you know that molding can also help
guarantee spacing alignment and ensures that there is no exposed wood or
noticeable sharp edges after installation?

TYPES OF KITCHEN CABINET MOLDING

Functions of Molding

Primarily, molding serves three functions: it adds decoration to a room, covers

gaps between the walls and ceiling or floor and it protects wall surfaces.

Molding to Update Your Kitchen

9|P age
Adding molding to your walls, cabinets, or ceilings can help enhance the most basic
room. Molding allows any homeowner to truly customize their home, no matter what
their style is. See the many molding options you can add depth, detail, and richness
to your kitchen.
LIGHT RAIL MOLDING

Light rail molding is used at the base of

cabinets above the counter to help conceal the
lighting under the cabinet. We suggest
installing this type of kitchen cabinet molding
for functionality as they deflect the light glare,
while also adding a decorative touch. Make sure
to choose a light rail molding that matches your
crown molding to create a cohesive look.

DENTIL MOLDING

Dentil molding is used as a decorative component on

the top of your cabinets and is also commonly used
around doors and ceilings. Each block is cut using
exact measurements and is installed to ensure the
spacing is equal, so you'll want to double check your
measurements before ordering the molding.

SCRIBE MOLDING

Scribe molding is a thin piece of trim that covers

any gaps between your cabinets and the wall. This
is an easy way to solve any visible inconsistencies
once your installation is complete. It's common for
the walls and ceilings to be inconsistent if you're
remodeling a kitchen in a historic home, so keep in
mind that you might need to add scribe molding
after the installation.
CROWN MOLDING
Crown molding is decorative trim that is added
to the top of your cabinets. The benefit of
installing crown molding is that it draws the eye
upward, showcasing the elegance of your
cabinets. Crown molding can either bond with
the ceiling or allow for space above the cabinet.
If you have high ceilings, we recommend leaving

10 | P a g e
space below your ceiling so your cabinets aren't installed out of reach.

OUTSIDE CORNER MOLDING

The outside corner molding covers the raw edges

of your cabinets with a decorative touch. You'll
need to match the height and width of your
corner pieces with the molding that's extending
the width of your cabinets to make sure that they
are united. It's not required to install corner
molding, but if you have a more traditional
kitchen kitchen, they will add a touch of
sophistication.
RISER MOLDING

Riser molding helps raise the crown molding

so it bonds with the ceiling. Some people like
to show space above the cabinets to display
decorative items, but if you rather close them
off and avoid the buildup of dust, risers will
help you close off the space if your crown
molding isn't quite thick enough.
BASE MOLDING

Base molding adds a unique detail at the

foot of your cabinets similar to the floor
molding that's common in many homes.
The proliferated edge of this type of kitchen
cabinet molding typically faces up
introducing architectural interest and a
foundation to your cabinets.
TOE KICK MOLDING

Toe kick molding covers the toe space of the

cabinets to cover the exposed wood and allows
your feet to stand closer to your workspace. This
is both important for functionality and having a
clean design. You can either use the same wood
as the rest of your cabinets or use a color or
material that pops against the rest.

11 | P a g e
FILLERS

Fillers can either fill unplanned space

where the cabinet meets the wall or can be
added to avoid allowing the edge of the
cabinet doors or drawers to hit the wall
when opened. This may seem like minor
detail, but can help you utilize every cabinet
properly.

Once you have the style of your kitchen cabinets selected, keep these types of kitchen
cabinet molding in mind before installation. If you notice some unexpected gaps or
feel like your cabinets are lacking design elements, you can always introduce
molding to your kitchen after the installation without needing to alter the cabinets
themselves.
