Different types of floor moldings include:
- T-mold or transitional molding is used in doorways and to join two hard surfaces of approximately equal height, such as wood and tile.
- Reducers are used to smoothly transition from one floor to another of a lower height.
- End caps, or square nose, are used wherever a floor meets a vertical object like a cabinet and also with fireplaces, sliding glass doors and other exterior doorways
- Quarter round moldings are also used where a floor meets a vertical object such as the wall or a cabinet
- Wall base molding is used to border the wood floor at the wall base, and come in both stain and paint grade
- Stair nosing, threads, and risers are used to add a professional and elegant look to any staircase. They come in flush and overlap styles and are also used to absorb a lot of the heavy foot traffic that stairs receive
- Threshold moldings are used at openings and between two different types of flooring materials, such as carpet to laminate or hardwood to carpet
