Finishing Trim

Most interior door molding is made of solid wood or medium-density fiberboard with a wood veneer. Oak, pine, birch, maple and poplar are the most common types available. We chose maple for our project. Sand extra trim, cut it into 3-in. pieces and start experimenting. Mark all the pieces with the colors you use to keep them straight. You can lighten stain easily by diluting it with paint thinner. It’s not unusual to use mixes that are 25 percent or even 50 percent paint thinner. But measure carefully so you can replicate your results on a larger scale. Next, finish the samples with the same sealer and varnish coats you plan to use, to get an accurate finished look. Internal Corner – When installing panels that run all the way to the corner and then turn through a right angle and continue to the next wall, internal corner trims are used to provide a smooth transition. Channels at the rear of the corner trim allow the panels to fit snugly within it as it provides a bridge between the ends of the wall.

As a general rule of thumb, higher levels of sheen provide a more hardwearing surface than flat (no sheen) and matte paints (very low sheen), simply because the sheen creates a protective coat which offers scratch, stain and moisture resistance, making the trim easier to wipe clean. ‘All our paints are multi-surface and it is the sheen that determines the level of wear and tear the paint can withstand, so we always recommend a higher sheen for high wear surfaces,’ explains Helen Shaw, UK director, Benjamin Moore.

Buy two 2-1/2-in. china-bristle brushes (natural bristles). Use them for staining, dry brushing (Photo 6) and applying the clear finishes. Don’t buy cheap brushes. If you take care of it and clean it well, a top-quality brush will last for 20 years or more. A cheap brush is more likely to leave brush marks and bristles in the finish.
