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. Follow finishing instructions appropriate to the specific wood species.
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.
- Confirm species and follow appropriate finishing guidelines. Ask your local Windsor Plywood team for species-specific advice.
- 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.
