Help with moulding profile name

[Chilliwack Murray]

Can anyone tell me what the profile on the right is called? I had assumed it was a type of cove.

I’ve had a few feet of this kicking around for quite a few years so no idea where I bought it but now I need more and no one seems to have this profile, they all have variations of the cove moulding on the left.

Tried Google photo search without success as well so I’m hoping the collective expertise here will have the answer.

I always called it inside corner cove or some variation of that. Menards has it but you may not have Menards local to you.

Home Depot has it and calls it Cove Molding.

It's not typical cove molding.

Look at the radius instead of the hard corner

 

[The Cobbler]

how much are you needing? some careful passes with a hand plane and sandpaper you could create that radius

 

[Chilliwack Murray]

I need about 32' so it's not something I can make myself. Unfortunately HD in Canada doesn't carry it and we don't have Menards here.

I actually want to use it with the cove facing in on some corners on a Bigfoot trailer I'm restoring. The corners are about 45 degrees and have some rubber welting still on them, this will cover the corner, welting and uneven joint. I will call a specialty moulding place next week and see if they can identify the profile.

...and to The Cobbler, I like the profile pic... Looks like Wordless Workshop - that was about the only comic I read as a kid, usually the first page I'd go to when the new Popular Science magazine arrived.

Have you tried a local millwork supplier? I remember having a local lumberyard that had an astounding selection of options on display

It's a cove, but a very odd profile. I just looked at a few millwork pattern books and a few suppliers and none have the eased edge (except 1) and none have a flat back Closest I found was a custom profile with smaller radius rounded corners ($200 minimum and $100 setup fee, 1.27/Lft.

For about $500 you can have it matched, and get a few more feet of moulding.

For $500, i'd rip out all the existing and install something readily available

Is the exact profile critical then?

I would think run to home depot, buy 2-3 sticks and be done....

Got a pic of where you're trying to use it? Maybe there's a better option

Certainly the fastest/cheapest and likely easiest option.

 

[Chilliwack Murray]

This profile installed backwards covers the 45 and the old welting perfectly with a nice low profile. I was going to use the standard cove but it creates a larger bump out for lack of better description. I don’t have a photo right now unfortunately.

I had gone to the major supplier for all things finishing last week and they didn’t have this profile. I found one millwork supplier last night who shows that profile as special order. I submitted a request for a quote, we shall see I get a reasonable response today.

Do you need the cove portion to clear the welting or would a straight/flat cut clear it? If you don't need the radius of the cove, you could cut it with a handful of passes on a table saw. If you needed more clearance than the flat, you might be able to relieve that area with a dado blade or some other combo of cuts.

 

[Chilliwack Murray]

Thanks for the suggestion. I do need the cove to provide a relief for the welting and the angled edges provide a nice transition so it's exactly what I need.

Fortunately the supplier I emailed got back to me with enough of that profile available to finish the project. It did surprise me that was so hard to find something I thought was common. I don't even remember where I got the piece I have.

I will consider this for additional trim though.

There are hundreds of different millwork profiles, made by lots of different companies. OB Williams is a custom millwork company in Seattle, they have over 10,000 different knife profiles. Matching an old piece can be very difficult.

Possibly called frieze molding?
Been 20 yrs since I sold lumber but that sounds familiar.

Gray Lumber
If they don't have it, they know where to source it (or have it custom-made.)
Shoot 'em the photo via email and see if they can ID it.

 

[PCustoms]

I wonder how the OP made out over the past year since they made this thread...

 

[four.cycle]

No idea.
I don't look at dates. Just answer questions.

Next?

 

[Chilliwack Murray]

I don’t find anything suitable and moved on to other moulding dilemmas. The cove profiles I found all stuck out too far. Since it’s on the door walll in the very tiny bathroom you only see it sitting on the throne which I never use. So, basically I forgot all about it.



I was proud of my solution to the curved gap at the top of the cabinets though. I used round stock to fill it, bends easily in any direction.

^ this is in a motor home or an RV ?

 

[Chilliwack Murray]

In a 1985 Bigfoot trailer. We’ve been using it for over a year now so not a big concern any more. Someone just resurrected the thread.

 

[four.cycle]

we noticed.
you're probably better going with a plastic or rubber than wood in a vehicle!
