Common Uses
Applied vertically on exposed wall corners. Nail into the framing behind the drywall corner. Oak is the premium choice for stained moulding. For a glass-smooth painted finish on oak, apply grain filler first -- the open pores telegraph through paint without filling.
Pro Tips
- Outside corners take the most abuse in any room -- bumped by furniture, scuffed by passing traffic. Choose a durable material (oak, maple) for high-traffic corners.
- For stain: oak accepts stain beautifully -- apply with the grain and wipe off excess. For paint: apply grain filler first, then prime and paint. For clear finish: sand to 220-grit and apply oil or polyurethane.
- Use a level to ensure the corner trim is plumb before nailing. A crooked corner trim is highly visible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need outside corner trim on all corners?
Only on corners you want to protect and finish. Rounded (bullnose) drywall corners do not need trim. Square outside corners benefit most from trim, especially in high-traffic areas.
Should I stain or paint oak moulding?
Oak is at its best when stained or clear-finished -- the prominent grain adds warmth and character. Painting oak is possible but requires grain filler for a smooth result, and many consider it a waste of a premium material.
