How To Install The Sliding Glass Door’S Inside Trim?

This video provides a step-by-step guide on installing interior trim around sliding glass doors. It emphasizes the importance of careful measurements and considering the size of the door frame and the gap between the door jamb and latch. Trim molding can enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your room, and it is crucial to work slowly and carefully to avoid damaging your wall.

To install trim, measure the width of the door frame and the height from the top of the door to the floor. Place vertical trim pieces against the door frame, ensuring the inside edges are flush with the frame’s edge.

Finishing touches include setting up paintable latex caulk, miter box, or power box. Remove the baseboard where the door trim will be placed, cut and attach hardboard to the inside of the door frame, attach 1×6 door trim to the sides, and attach the finishing nails.

To prepare the molding, attach a strip (jam extension) on the back of the trim and mount it to the wall. Caulk or liquid nail is the best solution, as finishing nails may puncture the sliding door frame. PVC brick mould can be used instead, which costs a little more but is worth it. By following these steps, you can easily and effectively install interior trim around your sliding glass door, enhancing your home’s aesthetics and insulation.
