The Benefits of WindsorONE’s Molding Solutions

For this install, the scaled-down 3-1/2” casing buildup delivers maximum craftsmanship and depth of detail. It’s a versatile option — using the line of beaded casing options, you can scale up or down. 

Additionally, the large back band can accommodate wainscoting and chair rails thicknesses to run into the outside edge.
