What is Baseboard Molding?
Baseboard molding is the wood trim that runs along the bottom of interior walls. This trim decoratively fills in the area where the wall and floor meet. Baseboard moldings are available in a wide variety of woods and styles. Pine, fir, and oak are common woods used for baseboard molding, but many other types of wood including ash, cherry, bamboo and cypress are also used. Finger jointing is a popular process used for producing baseboard moldings. Finger jointed wood has had all the defects removed during processing. Both long and short lengths of lumber are jointed together to create very long lengths of strong molding trim.
