Overview

Oak trim and molding is the gold standard for interior woodwork. Its pronounced grain pattern, exceptional hardness, and stain versatility make it the most popular choice for baseboards, crown molding, door casings, and wainscoting in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Red oak and white oak are both widely used, with white oak offering superior moisture resistance for bathroom and kitchen applications.

Installation Tips

Acclimate oak trim in the room for 3-5 days before installation

Pre-drill nail holes to prevent splitting, especially near board ends

Use a pneumatic finish nailer with 15 or 18 gauge nails for clean results

Cope inside corners rather than mitering for a tighter fit on crown molding

Fill nail holes with color-matched wood filler before finishing

Sand to 150-grit before applying stain or clear coat

Maintenance

Oak trim requires minimal maintenance. Dust regularly and clean with a damp cloth. Touch up scratches with matching stain or wood marker. Refinish every 10-15 years or as needed. Avoid excessive moisture on unfinished surfaces.
