How do you spell the name of that little strip that goes around the top of the wall where it meets the ceiling?  Some people spell it “moulding” and some spell it “molding.”  Which is correct?  That depends on what part of the world you are in.

The Compact Oxford English Dictionary defines “moulding” thus:

a shaped strip of wood, stone, or plaster as a decorative architectural  feature.

The definition of “molding” is rather succinct:

US spelling of moulding.

So, it appears that if you are anywhere but the United States, you spell the name of that strip “moulding.”  We in the United States, however, spell it “molding” just to be different.

However you spell it, we at Good Millwork stand ready to assist you with deciding on one of our 10,000 molding products, deciding on one of our 200 wood species, and getting your order out.  If we do not have a profile for the molding you desire, we will make one for you.

Our wood is sustainably harvested, so no guilt about looting a forest here.  In fact, some of our wood was retrieved from a watery grave.  You cannot get much greener than that!

The process of joining your vision with our wood takes place in our factory in Alabama.  We deliver in the South.  Further than that, we ship via common carrier to most places in the world.

Contact us today to have your vision made into a reality — even if you do spell things funny.
