The strip of wood that lines the bottom of a wall to the beginning of the floorboards is commonly referred to as the molding. Base molding is the small strip of wood (or other material) that protect the part of the wallpaper or paint job that withstands damage from foot traffic, furniture and other normal wear and tear at the bottom of the wall, and crown molding is the material or strip of wood that lines te top of the wall, primarily for decoration. Base molding is typically used in conjunction with wood floors, but can be used for practical or decorative means with carpeted or tiled floors as well. Installation of base (sometimes called shoe) molding is relatively simple, but does require a fair amount of knowledge when it comes to measuring the pieces and using nail guns to install the wood, especially in the corners.

Learn how to cut the corner pieces, how to use a compressor and nail gun, and tips for applying inside and outside corner molding pieces correctly.
