Liam and I have begun the process of laying down the finishing touch to our bedroom suite. We are cutting quarter round molding to be installed around our base molding.
Quarter round is slightly wider than traditional shoe molding covering about 3/4" of unfinished floor around the trim of our room. It is closer to what would have originally been installed in the house around the thick base-boards.
Modern molding is fairly easy to cut, less dense and is quite flexible.
We used a mitre saw, coping saw, and mitre box attached to a work bench to make accurate 45 degree cuts, coping out the back angle of inside corner pieces. We set up shop in the adjacent unfinished guest room.
There are three cuts necessary in properly installing quarter round:
end of run cut
(used anywhere a strip of molding ends at a door jam on the same wall)
inside cut or cope cut (used at the inside corner of each wall.)
outside cut- (used anywhere a corner protrudes from the room at 90 degrees.)
Stay with us for more posts and photos of the completed room! Coming soon!
