Embossed Moulding: Ornate Decorative Trim & Moulding

When it comes to selecting moulding for your next building or remodeling project, there are a lot of options on the market. From selecting the cut and design to choosing materials, there is much to think about. Another option you should definitely consider is whether to go with classic or embossed moulding pieces. There are a few benefits to embossed moulding, but it really comes down to how you want the finished project to look and the design choices you have made.

Unlike traditional moulding, embossed moulding is passed through a hot press, which adds ornamental and decorative elements and patterns to the moulding. This makes the patterns stand out more and results in a more decorative and ornamental final look.

As a leading St. Louis hardwood lumber company, St. Charles Hardwoods sells a wide selection of embossed moulding styles and designs.

Benefits of Embossed Moulding

The main benefit of embossed moulding is pretty straightforward: the embossing process adds design features which can add both detail and elegance to your space. This is a good way to create more elegance and beauty to any space as well as offering an intriguing, ornate effect that you won�t see everywhere.

At St. Charles Hardwoods, we offer embossed moulding in many different pieces, with a wide selection of woods available, from the classic birch or poplar, to pine, walnut, hard maple, and more. No matter what look you are going for, our team can help you find it.

Types of Moulding

Before getting into details like material and cut, you will want to consider what kind of moulding elements you need. There are a few traditional mouldings that any space would look naked without, and others that are optional elements more for adding style than anything else. Here are a few kinds of moulding that are frequently embossed:

• Baseboard Moulding: This is found in most homes and other spaces and covers the line where the flooring meets the wall. While some designs can get away without it, it is almost always a good idea to include baseboard moulding in your plans. To add even more elegance, consider upgrading to embossed baseboard trim.
• Crown Moulding: At the top of walls, crown moulding can function to hide the line where walls reach the ceiling. It is generally used, however, to provide decoration -- and depth -- to a room. With its decorative nature, this is an area where embossed moulding would especially shine -- adding even more style and elegance to what is already a decorative piece.
• Panel Moulding: Panel moulding is decorative trim used to create interest and add style to otherwise plain spaces. This kind of moulding can be used on walls, doors, windows, and in other ways to add depth, create a design, or hide imperfections. This is another great place to use embossed moulding to create a highly decorative and elegant look.
