Exterior Decorative Mouldings

Decorative exterior window trim not only accentuates the clean and crisp lines of your windows but can also cover the space between the wall and jamb.

Decorative outside corner moulding covers any area where outside walls meet at a 90-degree angle. In New Zealand, they are usually made from plastic, PVC and metal.

Enhance the appearance of your front, back and side doors with decorative exterior door trims. These come in various styles and materials, including engineered wood and fibre cement. Decorative exterior door trim is also described as exterior molding. Exterior front door trim kits refer to coordinated pieces for framing an entrance; the listed door surrounds include garage door options.

Exterior decorative mouldings are a type of cladding and facade that provides protection and character to your home. Therefore, it’s important to choose only high-quality exterior decorative mouldings to showcase the best features of your home. These are more likely to have authentic and striking architectural features while promoting longevity and durability. Trim can also be more than just decorative. High-quality exterior decorative mouldings can prevent moisture from damaging the walls of your home and will be resistant to moisture, rot and insects.

It can sometimes be overwhelming, browsing through the seemingly endless varieties of exterior decorative mouldings. Here are some things to consider that may make it easier for you to sift through the lot. First, think about maintenance. Some materials, like wood, look beautifully classic, but require more upkeep, can be affected by moisture and can split or crack if not maintained properly, compared to an alternative like PVC. Also, exterior mouldings can look out of place when mixed and matched. For example, dramatic and grand Georgian or Victorian mouldings probably won’t suit a contemporary style building. Choose window trim, door trim and corner decorative moulding that blend well with each other for a more cohesive look.
