Can you identify this trim?

9 years ago

Hi all,

Hoping someone can help...I am in love with this window and door casing from the Midway House project by Studio McGee and Tiek Built Homes, but I am not sure what it is. I have reached out to both, but have not heard back. I also reached out to the lumber company rep, but he didn't know what it was either. It looks to me to be a beaded casing with a backband of some kind. In between the backband/outer piece and the flat piece, it looks like there are 2 steps down (squared sticking) rather than a swoop/ogee.

Thanks,

A

Can't tell from your pictures, but if it is a newer house chances are 99% it is made up of stock mouldings from a local lumber yard. It might be 2-3 pieces, seeing a cross section would clarify greatly.

Going to assume it's a one-piece molding since both planes are mitered. If it were a backband + casing, one would expect the flat casing to be butted, as the backband covers the exposed end-grain.

Best ID would come from a head-on pic of the profile with a ruler under it for scale. These pics are too far away and low-res.

Found the pics online so I am not able to get a closeup, but I will insert links to them so they are easier to enlarge:

I have a feeling it's similar to this:

Did you end up doing this casing? If so, what did you end up using?
