A) Stained doors, windows, and casings come at a premium, but they create
long lasting character. This three piece casing style evokes the craftsman style.
The head casing is slightly thicker than the side casings providing a clean shadow
line. The crown detail is a large cove molding with a squared off cap on top of that.
B) This photo shows two different trim details. The window has a traditional
stool and apron at the bottom. The sides and top are a flat stock casing with
a traditional backband. The door trim incorporates flat rosette blocks and four
piece casings incorporating a small cove molding as a backband on both sides.
C) The farmhouse above shows classic flat stock details for the most affordable choice
in real wood trim. We use 4 5/8" wide flat jamb stock to duplicate these proportions.
The window casing is flat stock on three sides with a traditional sill and apron at the bottom.
D) This cased opening shows a fancier casing with backband on all three sides. The photo
shows how the thickness of the backband provides a clean detail where the baseboard
dies into the casing of the opening.
E) The photo above shows windows with a dark stain on them to match a dark stain
on the baseboards. The windows are trimmed with basic flat stock with a sill and apron.
The dark stain is a nice contrast to the lighter colored wood floors.
F) The two photos above show the most affordable treatment for finishing off windows and doors.
The window jambs are wrapped with drywall and painted. The windows are prefinished in
white aluminum or solid vinyl so that the windows to do require painting.
G) The two photos above show a classic three piece header detail with a tradition sill and apron. This
detail uses a lot of readily available materials to create dramatic shadow lines.
H) The two photos above show a fancy casing picture framed around windows and doors.
Plynth blocks are used at the bottom of the door casings to provide a cleaner transition to
the baseboard moldings.
