Specifications

Common Uses

Applied vertically on exposed wall corners. Nail into the framing behind the drywall corner. Hemlock is the preferred softwood for stained moulding. Its pitch-free surface means no bleed-through under paint and no blotching under stain.

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 paint: apply directly -- no knot sealer needed. For stain: hemlock accepts stain evenly with a pre-stain conditioner. For clear finish: sand to 180-grit and apply water-based polyurethane or lacquer.
• 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.

Why choose hemlock over pine?
Hemlock is pitch-free -- no resin bleed under paint, no sticky sap. It also accepts stain more evenly than pine. Hemlock is the premium softwood choice when finish quality matters.
