Gypsum finishing for baseboards and frames: Z-molding
Z-molding is a tool that allows us to achieve a flawless finish on drywall, leaving a discreet gap between the wall and the floor. Once installed, simply plaster over the perforated area. For a perfect result, it is crucial to have a level floor. If it isn’t, the Z-molding won’t be able to adapt to the unevenness. This is why we always use a laser before starting this type of work.
Recessed Baseboard: A Solution for Uneven Floors
In the case of an uneven floor, we can also opt for a recessed baseboard that aligns with the bottom of the wall. This baseboard has the same thickness as the drywall and is separated from the wall by a continuous opening. The advantage of this method is that the baseboard can be cut to perfectly match the slope of the floor. This is a professional job, but it guarantees a refined result.
Clean Door and Window Casings
The same principle can be applied to door and window casings. A Z-molding is installed directly onto the door or window frame, then the drywall is installed. This separates the frame from the rest of the wall, giving it a modern and clean look.

The Art of Clean Finishing with Baseboards and Casings
Beyond the drywall installation, the finish is what makes all the difference. We strive to create spaces with clean, minimalist lines. The use of profiles, such as Z-molding, allows you to achieve this look without resorting to traditional moldings, while also hiding unsightly joints.
Harmonious Integration of Elements
The goal of these techniques is to create a cohesive space. The recessed baseboards and door and window frames give the impression that the wall is a single, uninterrupted block. Attention to detail connects the different elements of the room.
A Modern Touch with Baseboards and Frames
These finishing methods are a hallmark of modern design. They add a touch of sophistication and lightness to the room, while creating a sense of grandeur. If you’re looking for a renovation that combines contemporary aesthetics with impeccable execution, these finishing details are essential.
