Wood Trims The  most  prominent  items  in  the  interior  trim are the inside door and the window casings, which may  be  plain-faced  or  ornamentally  molded  in various  ways.  Another  item  is  the  baseboard, which  covers  the  joint  between  an  inside  wall  and finish   floor   (fig.   6-80).   Baseboards   or   base molding are available in several widths and forms. Figures  6-81  and  6-82  show  areas  where  some types  of  molding  are  desirable. HARDWARE HARDWARE  is  a  general  term  covering  a wide variety of accessories that are usually made of  metal  or  plastic  and  ordinarily  used  in  building construction.  Hardware  includes  both  finishing and  rough  hardware. FINISHING  HARDWARE  consists  of  items that are made in attractive shapes and finishes and are  usually  visible  as  an  integral  part  of  the finished  structure.  Included  are  locks,  hinges, door pulls, cabinet hardware, window fastenings, door   closers   and   checks,   door   holders,   and automatic exit devices. In addition, there are the lock-operating trim, such as knobs and handles, escutcheon  plates,  strike  plates,  and  knob rosettes. There are also push plates, push bars, kickplates,  doorstops,  and  flush  bolts. ROUGH HARDWARE consists of items that are   NOT   usually   finished   for   an   attractive appearance.  These  items  include  casement  and special  window  hardware,  sliding  and  folding door supports, and fastenings for screens, storm windows, shades, venetian blinds, and awnings. Other items may be considered hardware. If you are not sure whether an item is hardware or what  its  function  is,  refer  to  a  commercial  text, such as the  Architectural  Graphic  Standards. FASTENERS The  devices  used  in  fastening  or  connecting members together to form structures depend on the kinds of material the members are made of. Figure  6-80.-Baseboard. 6-46
