Common Uses
Installed on both sides of door and window frames. Cut mitre joints at 45 degrees at the top corners using a mitre saw. Test-fit all cuts dry before nailing. Seal all knots with shellac-based primer (such as Zinsser BIN) before painting. Pine knots bleed through standard latex paint and primers.
Pro Tips
- The standard reveal (gap between the casing edge and the frame edge) is 3/16" to 1/4". Set a combination square to your reveal measurement and mark a consistent line on all frames before nailing.
- For paint: seal knots with shellac-based primer (Zinsser BIN) before priming and painting. For stain: apply pre-stain conditioner first to reduce blotching. For clear finish: sand to 180-grit and apply polyurethane.
- Use 2" finish nails into the frame and 1-1/2" nails into the drywall side. Set all nails, fill with paintable filler, and sand smooth before finishing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate how much casing I need?
Measure the perimeter of each opening (height x 2 + width) and add 10% for waste and mitre cuts. Count total openings and multiply.
Will pine knots bleed through paint?
Yes. Seal all knots with a shellac-based primer (such as Zinsser BIN) before painting. Standard latex primers do not prevent knot bleed-through.
