Solid Wood Doors are made of quality natural wood. A solid wood door is easy to close, provides insulation and blocks noise. Solid wood doors may cost more, but they will withstand the test of time. Solid wood doors can be stained or painted and can be used as an interior or an exterior door.
Solid Core Doors are made from wood by-products and are covered in a thin layer of veneer. A solid core door is one way to get a substantial door at a reasonable price. Good places to use solid core doors are bedrooms, bathrooms and areas where privacy is important.
Hollow Core Doors have a wooden framework with a honeycomb or grid-like core that is filled with a light material like cardboard, foam or a combination. They are encased by fiberboard or veneer. Hollow core doors are cost-effective but easily damaged. Good places to use a hollow core door are pantries and closets.

Crown molding covers the corner between the ceiling and a wall. It eases the transition between the vertical and horizontal planes. Crown molding is often more ornate and has a more detailed silhouette than other trim.
Frame molding looks like a large picture frame. Frame moldings are only decorative and are often found in hallways, stairways, living rooms or dining rooms.
Base Molding (baseboards) covers the joint between the wall and the floor. Baseboards are usually between 3 and 5 inches high and tend to be simple designs.
Window and Door Casings are both practical and decorative. They are designed to cover the unfinished gap between walls and door or window frames. They help to give a room a polished look.

Chair Rails are commonly installed about 36 inches from the floor and were originally intended to prevent walls from getting bumped by furniture. Chair rails separate two types of wall finishes, like paint and wainscoting.
Wainscoting is similar to a chair rail or wood paneling and extends from the middle of a wall to the floor. Wainscoting is often used in foyers, staircases, master bathrooms and dining rooms.
Picture Rails are located seven to nine feet above the floor. A picture rail allows picture frames to hang from walls without having to nail holes in the wall. Plate rails are wider, but like a picture rail. A plate rail is used as a platform to display and store a collection of items like jars or pottery.

Stairways are architectural features in many homes and benefit greatly from the use of real wood. Stairs are comprised of newels, handrails (sometimes called banisters), balusters, treads and risers (the steps). When assembled, all these stair parts are called balustrades. Oak, ash, mahogany and cherry are commonly used for the construction of stairs. Handrail should be manufactured in long lengths using as few joints or laminates as possible. Balusters, sometimes called spindles, are decorative, functional and an important part of the railing support system. Like other wood in your home, stairway handrails, balusters and treads need an application of Scott’s Liquid Gold every few weeks to clean and protect them.
