Window Mouldings

Q: What is the difference between window trims and window mouldings?

For many contractors, the terms window trims and window mouldings are used interchangeably, since they’re both used around the edges of windows. Trim is a broader term, and also includes all types of mouldings (windows, doors, etc), while moulding is classified as adding decoration to a room.

Q: What type of wood is used for window trim?

The type of wood used for window trim can depend on whether it’s interior or exterior. For interior trim, cherry, walnut and fir are great options. For exterior trim, cedar is a popular choice.

Secure all your windows in place and add an extra layer of security and design with window mouldings. One of the best aspects of window mouldings is that there’s something for every type of window. Whether they are wooden, aluminium, decorative or functional, you’ll find a solution that works for you.

Types of window mouldings

Exterior window trim

Exterior window trim, also known as casing, is the framing around the window used to cover the frame and the wall adjacent to it.

Timber window mouldings

Timber window mouldings are functional, and can add a lot of beauty and architectural interest to a building through detailing and design.

Wooden window trims

Perfect for a rustic aesthetic or to add a cosy touch to any room, wooden window trims work for both interior and exterior mouldings.

The advantages of high-quality window mouldings

High-quality window moldings are not just for looks; they serve significant functional roles in home maintenance and energy efficiency. These moldings fit tightly around window frames, effectively sealing the gap between the frame and the wall, which can otherwise be a source of energy loss. By blocking drafts, they help keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, leading to potential savings on your energy bills. The durability of these mouldings means they can withstand the elements and resist wear and tear, which means you won't have to replace or repair them as often as you might with lower-quality options.

Beyond energy conservation, these mouldings also protect against moisture and reduce the infiltration of outdoor noise, contributing to a more comfortable and quiet home environment. They are designed to stand up to humidity and temperature changes without deforming, ensuring that the window's seal remains intact over time. In this way, investing in high-quality window mouldings is a practical decision for any homeowner looking for long-term value and comfort.

How to choose window mouldings that are right for you

Choosing interior or exterior window mouldings comes down to personal preference, your budget and the style of your room. The size of the windows as well as the size of the room also plays a part in what and how much window trim and moulding you will need. You’ll likely need a professional to apply the window mouldings to the room, so check with them about the type they recommend for your specific home.
