Your trim is an important component of your home, giving it the character you desire and the uniqueness of those who chose it!

You may want to consider using mouldings to add a personal touch to your new home.  Areas such as foyers and hallways often incorporate the basic mouldings but you may add additional layers, panels, or ceiling detail. Other focus areas may include elements such as columns, arches, fireplaces or window groupings.

There are countless options for interior finish products on the market today, including primed MDF mouldings, blocks, columns, medallions and door hardware.

Tall baseboards and dressy casings throughout all the main areas of the home. 

Elegant cornice mouldings highlighting the perimeters of ceilings creating eye-catching detail in focal areas of the home.

Gracious arches, beam-work and square or round pillars help to define important entry or entertaining spaces.

Simple to elaborate paneling can create just the right effect and wow-factor in select areas.

Various door styles and hardware selections can boldly or quietly, confidently express a client’s sense of style.

A great resource for moulding ideas and design is your builder. Your builder will have the experience and expertise to transform your vision into reality. Another valuable tool is your moulding supplier. They have the know-how and means to help you visualize your ultimate moulding objective.
