Decorative mouldings
Decorative wood trim moulding is widely used in interior and exterior construction to create clean transitions between surfaces. Builders apply it to ceilings, walls, doors, and window frames to cover joins, conceal gaps, or provide definition. Traditional joinery once relied heavily on carved hardwoods, but today’s options include softwoods, MDF decorative mouldings, and engineered timber for greater consistency and ease of installation. You’ll also find profiles suitable for painted or stained finishes, depending on what your project needs.
For precision work, wooden beading is also used in cabinetry, panelling, and as part of bespoke joinery. MDF variants are common in modern settings for their stability and smooth surface, while timber choices vary from pine to hardwoods. Whether you're fitting wall trim in a new build or replicating heritage details in a restoration, there’s a moulding type for every job.
