There are even prebuilt corner trims so you don’t have to worry about cutting the corner precisely right. Some of the popular wood trim includes oak, mahogany, redwood, fir and cedar. You also have PVC composite, fiberboard, polystyrene, polyurethane and wood composite. You can choose to buy primed wood, which already comes with a base color.
If you decide to go with base wood trim, you’re going to have to choose between painting or staining. If you’re going to paint, it is suggested that you use woods like fir which are cheap. More expensive woods, like mahogany or cedar, should most definitely be stained or oiled. A good stain could give the board a new color while keeping the original look of the texture and gives your trim added protection for the changes of temperature in your home.
