A dentil moulding is a moulding that has a decorative tooth-like pattern in it.  The tooth-like pattern is often accomplished by running an insert that a series of dados are cut into the piece to form the tooth pattern.  The insert can then be glued and or nailed in place, and gives  the appearance that the moulding is one solid piece.

Rex Lumber Company manufactures stock dentil moulding inserts in both Red Oak and Poplar.  Dentil insert size and the size and spacing of dentil teeth may be customized.  Species other then Red Oak and Poplar are available as special order.

Rex Lumber Company also has a number of crowns and other mouldings designed to accept various dentil inserts. Custom profiles can also be designed or modified to accept dentil inserts.  To see some of our stock dentil mouldings please visit our online moulding catalog and view the Dentil category.
