Just curious has anyone used standard door and window molding for the floor? I know at HD and Lowes they have them labeled as such in the aisles, but I have used moulding meant for the doors and windows for the floor because they are easier to work with. My floors and walls are not perfect, and these moldings I am using are 2 1/4" wide by about 3/8" thick, making it easier for me to flex the moulding to contour with the floor and wall, thus eliminating the need to caulk or put a shoe molding. I am close to finishing my basement and find that if I used the big
4"+ base moulding it would be difficult to work with. So far the smaller moulding is working out great. I just wanted to know what others think.- posted
