Finish Carpentry
Base - Also known as wall base or baseboard is a decorative trim or moulding that is applied on the wall where the finished floor and wall meet. This gives the room a nice finished look, dresses it up, and can also take away some of the imperfections where the wall and floor meet.
Base Cap - Moulding installed at the top of the baseboard, flush with the wall, allowing for a more detailed look of base trim.
Base Corner - A piece of trim that is placed on the inside or outside corners of walls that allows the base trim to die into it, rather that making inside or outside miter cuts.
Base Shoe - This is a piece of trim that is placed on the floor against the base trim that conceals imperfections that may be apparent between the trim and floor, and will also protect the trim from cleaning tools, as well as fancy up the base trim just as the base cap does.
Case - Also known as casing is a decorative moulding or surfaced 4 sides (S4S) trim applied around doors and windows. The purpose of this trim is to cover the gap between the door jam or window sill and wall. Exterior casing would be used for exterior doors or windows, while interior casing would be used for interior doors or windows.
