A look at part of the casing prep process.
For this project, the backband is pre-assembled to the casing using pocket screws before install. This keeps the profiles tight and consistent and allows the reveals to be controlled at the bench instead of being fine-tuned on the wall.
All casing is batch cut to streamline workflow and reduce unnecessary foot traffic on site, keeping things efficient and organized. Double biscuits are used at the miters for alignment and long-term strength, especially on larger profiles where seasonal movement can open joints over time. Each set is glued, assembled, clamped, and then sanded flush so the profiles line up clean and seamless before they ever hit the wall.
More work up front, but install goes smoother, miters stay tighter, and the finished product speaks for itself.
It all in the details.
