Hardwood Flooring Moldings: Stair Nosing, Base Boards & More As you make flooring decisions, it is important to consider the types of moldings you add throughout your home. Although a lot of people naturally think of base boards when the term "molding" is used, there are actually more options than that. From carpet reducers and end caps to stair nosing and quarter round moldings, here's a breakdown of the flooring options available. Hardwood Flooring Moldings: Stair Nosing, Base Boards & More Flooring moldings are often made out of pine, oak or medium density fiber board. There are six types to consider: 1. T-Moldings are used in doorways between adjoining wood floors. These moldings can also transition from hardwood flooring to another hard surface floor that is the same height. 2. Carpet reducers and end caps provide a smooth, safe transition from hardwood flooring to carpet in an adjacent room or hallway. 3. Hard surface reducers are used to transition from hardwood flooring to another hard surface floor that is at a different height. 4. Stair nosing pieces provide a finished, professional look to steps and stairways. 5. Quarter round moldings (also known as shoe moldings) are used to decoratively cover expansion gaps next to base boards, case goods and stair steps. 6. Base boards are another decorative feature that covers the unfinished wall where the flooring was installed. They can also help protect the lower part of the wall from things that cause dents and scuff marks. Do you want help selecting the perfect moldings for your home? Come visit our showroom!
