01 Choose profiles as a family.
Door casing frames each opening; baseboards finish the floor edge. Their thicknesses need to meet cleanly. A flat modern profile, a stepped transitional profile or a more detailed traditional profile can each work when the proportions are consistent.
- Casing width and door reveal
- Baseboard height and floor transitions
- Backband, plinth blocks, shoe and quarter-round where needed
02 The material should suit the finish and the room.
MDF is commonly used for painted profiles. Primed finger-jointed wood and solid wood offer other choices; stain-grade work needs a suitable visible wood face. We check exposure and supplier instructions before choosing a board for a damp area. Brenlo also offers FrogBoard, an upcycled rice-hull composite, for specified applications.
- Paint-grade MDF or primed wood
- Stain-grade wood selected by species and appearance
- FrogBoard suitability confirmed for the specific detail
03 Include the small pieces in the scope.
Jamb extensions, door stops, window stools and aprons can be easy to miss when choosing a baseboard. We review the whole opening and adjoining walls so the quote includes the fitting, filling, caulking and finish work required.
- Jamb depth matched to finished walls
- Clean corners and returns
- Protection of floors and adjacent finishes
