Collector glossary
Frame moulding (molding)
The shaped length of material, commonly wood or metal, that is cut and joined to form the visible perimeter of a frame.
Why it matters
A framing quote may specify its profile, width, depth, material, and finish.
Common misunderstanding
Moulding and molding are regional spellings of the same framing term; mold in a condition report means fungal growth and is unrelated.
