Custom Case Molding Ideas
Also see:This page contains some ideas for building custom case molding for doors and windows. Using 1by finish lumber, one–piece case moldings, back band and other commonly available molding profiles, many door or window casing can be created or simulated.
Combination Case Molding
This case molding combines a basic one–piece baseboard profile and a back band molding to create two decorated edges. Back band molding like this can be found at a millwork lumberyard or one can be custom made by cutting a rabbet along one edge of a stop bead and other small moldings.
Craftsman Case Molding
This is a traditional craftsman type case molding built using a one–piece baseboard and back band combination for the sides and a bed crown profile and bead on the header. The bed molding is supported by a blocking strip ripped at 45° and installed along the top of the 1x4.
Cove and Bead Case Molding
This is another traditional case molding built using a one–piece milled case molding for the sides and a 1x4, small cove and bead moldings for the header.
Beaded Custom Case Molding
This custom door case molding is built using half–round and back band molding. This design can be varied using corner molding in place of the back band or the half–round can be replaced with a reeded molding.
