Panel Mold & Base Cap
Panel and base cap mouldings are two decorative elements that provide a polished appearance for any room. Panel moulding is a raised trim that is installed directly on walls to create a three-dimensional look. Base cap goes on top of baseboard mouldings for a complex, layered trim. These two types of mouldings can sometimes be used interchangeably. The main difference is that panel moulding creates a raised accent directly on the wall, while base cap moulding sits at the baseboard.
Base cap mouldings are often used along with natural wood baseboards. Wood baseboard trim is primarily decorative but has some functional use as well. It’s a great way to distract from gaps or cuts in flooring, and the additional base cap mouldings provide an even cleaner look.
Most people look for panel mouldings to enhance the design of a space with added ornamentation on the walls or mantels. The three-dimensional look provided by panel moulding can be striking and elegant. Many people apply these to flat architectural surfaces as unique embellishments that meld nicely with their home’s decor.
Base cap designs are usually smaller than other options. They have the added benefit of being generally less expensive since they don’t have a full-sized profile. There are many applications where it can serve as an affordable option to add visual interest to a room without going overboard with your design or budget.
