Shoe molding for use with a door casing having a given lateral width and a face with a given contour, the shoe molding comprising:
- a body extending from a free end to junction end, the body having a profile with a wall surface and a floor surface and a face extending between the surfaces;
- wherein a junction cavity is defined in the junction end of the body extending in from the wall surface, the junction cavity having a longitudinal length configured to be equal to or larger than the given lateral width and defining an interior surface having a configuration configured to complement the given contour.
A molding assembly comprising:
- a door casing having a given lateral width and including a flat surface and a face with a given contour;
- a base molding secured relative to the door casing such that the base molding abuts the flat surface of the door casing;
- and
- shoe molding including:
- a body extending from a free end to junction end, the body having a profile with a wall surface and a floor surface and a face extending between the surfaces;
- wherein a junction cavity is defined in the junction end of the body extending in from the wall surface, the junction cavity having a longitudinal length equal to or larger than the given lateral width and defining an interior surface having a configuration which complements the given contour;
- wherein the shoe molding is secured relative to the door casing and base molding such that the full lateral width of the door casing is received in the junction cavity with the face extending along the interior surface.
