Colonial Doorstop & Shoe Mould — Solid Wood, 1-1/4" Primed Trim

Colonial doorstop and shoe mould in finger-joint wood does two jobs with one tiered 1-1/4 inch profile — it's the strip that stops a door against the jamb, and the slim base shoe that closes the gap where baseboard meets an uneven floor. The 7-foot length is sized for door and window stops; the 10-foot length runs floor perimeters as shoe moulding with fewer joints. It takes primer to a smooth, paint-ready face that needs only a top-coat, and the finger-joint body holds a brad without the crumbling that gives composite trim away at a tight inside corner. Unlike the MDF and plastic stops most yards carry, this is real wood: it resists the denting that chips fiberboard along a kicked doorstop or a vacuumed base shoe, and carries no urea-formaldehyde core to off-gas into the room. At 1-1/4 inch it covers wider flooring expansion gaps than the thin retail quarter-round most stores carry. Mitre or cope the corners, caulk, and paint it like any premium wood trim.
