Basic installation types for window and door casing
Installing casing around interior windows and doors can be done in a number of ways. Windows and door trim joints
are usually done the same way throughout a home. Although, some rooms can be done with more ornate joints
and trim depending on the existing woodwork in the room.
The most common casing installations use Miter and Butt joints. Miters are used when side casing
joins the head casing. Butt joints are typically used where the side casing meets the window sill or where door
casing meets the floor
Choose your casing styles wisely!
Most of the time you will choose the same casing for your windows as your doors. Remember that windows are smaller
and can look overwhelming with a very ornate casing installation and style that you chose for your interior door and entranceway.
Typically, a large crown molding used as the header over a window will cause an overwhelming effect. Sometimes it's wise to
use a combination of two smaller moldings above and below some flat trim to keep your house looking sophisticated but not gawdy.
