Room Trim Base and Door Casing size ?
Hello
As I repaint the bedroom I am also changing the base trim and the door casing. The base trim is 9/16" thick. The Door casing is either 9/16" or 5/8". Should I use the 9/16" Door casing to match the base? Or Should I use the 5/8" door casing which is 1/16" thicker? Thanks |

LikeIy it will be the 5/8". Wider looks better, too. |

If both were just flat boards, being of equal thicknesses could give you a "seamless" flow one to another. OTOH, thicker casing gives you something to butt the base against. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

Thanks The door casing is always a little thicker than the base that butts it, use 5/8. |

Should I use the 9/16" Door casing to match the base? Or Should I use the 5/8" door casing which is 1/16" thicker? Door trim looks better if it sticks out further than the baseboard..gives the BB something to butt up against so IMO, the thicker is better. |
