A plain flat board made from MDF, which stands for medium density fibreboard: a smooth engineered wood board with no grain and no knots, so it takes paint well. Square 4 Sides (S4S) is the trade term for a board planed smooth on all four sides. The two long edges of the face are eased, which means softly rounded instead of sharp, the same edge as our Eased Two Edges casing, so it works anywhere you want a clean, simple board. Now at a clearance price.

  • What it is: One flat board, 12 ft long, sold by the piece.
  • Size: 1 x 6 is the trade name, not the real measurement. Like most trim boards it measures a little under: the width is close to 5-1/2", and MDF boards this size are 9/16" thick.
  • Profile (the shape the edges are cut to): Eased two edges: the two long edges of the face are softly rounded instead of sharp. Both edges are the same, so there is no right or wrong way round.
  • Finish: Primed white, so a base coat is already on and it is ready for your paint.
  • Where to use it: As baseboard (the trim board along the bottom of a wall where it meets the floor), as a window apron (the flat trim just under a window ledge), for closet trim or a light-duty shelf, or as the wide boards in a board-and-batten wall (wide boards set upright with narrow strips covering the joints). It is too wide to use as door casing. Indoor use only: MDF swells if it gets wet, so keep it off window ledges where condensation collects, and support any shelf every couple of feet.
  • How many pieces: Baseboard runs along the bottom of every wall in the room and stops at each doorway. Add up your wall lengths in feet, take out the doorways, and divide by 12 to get the number of pieces. Add one extra piece for cuts and corners, and measure before you order.
  • About the photo: we picked an image that matches this trim as closely as we could, so it is a close look at the shape and finish. It is not a photo of the exact piece you receive, and the proportions can differ a little from the real thing, especially between sizes.
