Coordinated Moldings


Finish your floors with coordinated moldings

Coordinating moldings are available for all styles and colors of Shaw Hardwood flooring you choose.

Stairnose

Hardwood stairnose moldingCreate transitions for steps in your home. Buy the Overlap Stairnose for floors that have been installed using the floating installation method. Buy the Flush Stairnose for hardwood that has been nailed or glued down.

Reducer

Hardwood reducer moldingWhen your hardwood flooring meets other floor coverings, such as vinyl, thin ceramic tile, or low-pile carpeting, use the Overlap Reducer for floors installed with the floating installation method, and the Flush Reducer on hardwood floors that have been nailed or glued down.

Threshold

Hardwood threshold moldingTypically used at exterior doorways, threshold moldings transition between flooring and the doorway threshold. It can also be used as a transition from wood floors to different flooring surfaces when the reducer won't do, such as on high-pile carpet or thick ceramic tile.

T-Molding

Hardwood t-moldingT-Molding is commonly used in doorways to join two wood floors in adjoining rooms. It's also recommended when making transitions from a wood floor to another floor that is approximately the same height. T-Molding is also used to provide expansion joints when a floor dimension exceeds a length of 40' or a width of 30'.

Quarter Round

Hardwood quarter roundHardwood flooring must be installed with expansion space between the flooring and the wall because it naturally expands and contracts. This molding not only adds a finishing touch, but conceals the expansion space. It may also be used under cabinets where wall base won't fit or at the base of a stairway.

Wall Base

Hardwood wall base

 

Give your room a dramatic finishing touch with borders at the base of your wall. Like the quarter round, this molding conceals the required expansion space between the wall and the hardwood flooring. It may also be used under cabinets as a cover for toe kicks.

 

 

 

Please NOTE: Wallbase is only available in selected styles and colors. Please ask your Shaw representative for specific style availability.
