Architectural mouldings can take an average setting and turn it into something with character and detail in a cost-efficient manner. The use of baseboard moldings, cabinet moldings, corner moldings and the addition of architectural mouldings such as pediments and columns take the ordinary to the extraordinary quickly and easily.

Custom mouldings allow you to design the layout of your crown moldings. You can tailor your custom mouldings to suit a building style such as the more minimalist style characteristic of the Craftsman style or as elaborate as an ornately decorated wedding cake more suitable to a Victorian style building.

1. Locate wholesale moulding products to reduce your costs.

2. Create immediate curb appeal with exterior building moldings.

3. Transform the fifth wall with ceiling moldings.


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Look for wholesale suppliers for real estate molding


Wholesale purchases will save you substantial building costs when you're purchasing molding. Search out wholesalers who can provide you with baseboard molding, cabinet molding and corner moldings at less than retail prices.

I recommend: Mouldings Factory Direct and LeWinter Moulding both provide a variety of interior moulding all at wholesale prices. From crown mouldings to cabinet mouldings, in small orders or for large projects, both of these companies will cost substantially less than buying similar products from a retail location.

Real estate molding sparks interest and moves properties


The addition of exterior molding creates instant curb appeal and sparks the interests of buyers for the property that boasts the exterior detail and the company that built it. The addition of exterior molding will set your business apart and create something akin to brand recognition to the community. Using exterior molding consistently will allow the public to know your properties from the competitions with just a glance.

I recommend: Mouldings.cc specializes in architectural mouldings and offer specific support for those who want to install the mouldings themselves. Architectural Ornament provides decorative and functional exterior mouldings and the details for a variety of finishing styles.

Detail the ceiling with ceiling moldings


The devil is in the details and the details are what set you apart from the competition. Ceiling moldings provide another opportunity for you to do something unique for your customers. Use custom injection molding for long runs that are consistent and consider ceiling medallions to highlight light fixtures.

I recommend: Classic Ceilings offers a host of different ceiling mouldings in a variety of materials and styles to suit all of your needs. Hyde Park Mouldings creates ceiling mouldings that are as ornate as a wedding cake, making your ceilings stand out from the crowd.
