Drywall T-Mold
Trim Purpose
Specs, MSDS, and LEED Information for Flannery Trims & Products
Flannery’s Drywall T-Mold is a base-of-wall trim that allows the installer to attach it to the framing prior to the installation of the gypsum board without losing the advantage of being able to tape and mud the trim to the drywall. Drywall T-Molds create the same aesthetic reveal between drywall and dissimilar materials that an Aluminum Drywall Shadow Mold would, with the advantage of setting the trim in place first.
