Knotty Alder Cap Moulding for Custom Interior Trim and Millwork
Add a distinctive finishing detail to custom woodwork with our 3/4" Cap Moulding in Knotty Alder. This decorative profile is designed to finish or enhance larger trim assemblies, making it a versatile choice for wainscoting, wall treatments, built-ins, cabinetry, and other custom interior millwork.
Made from Knotty Alder, this cap moulding brings the natural grain, knots, and warm character of real wood into the smaller details of an interior trim package. It's especially well suited for homes already incorporating Knotty Alder doors, casing, baseboards, cabinetry, or stair parts.
Each piece is 10 feet long with actual profile dimensions of 1-1/2" wide x 1" thick.
Why Choose Knotty Alder Cap Moulding?

What Is Cap Moulding Used For?
Cap moulding is generally installed as a finishing piece alongside larger architectural trim rather than serving as the primary moulding itself. It can finish an edge, create a transition, or add another layer to a multi-piece trim assembly.
Depending on the design, this profile may be used for:
- Wainscoting
- Decorative wall panels
- Chair rail assemblies
- Multi-piece baseboards
- Layered door and window trim
- Built-ins
- Cabinetry details
- Fireplace surrounds
- Custom architectural millwork
Because cap moulding can be incorporated into many different designs, use the actual 1-1/2" x 1" dimensions when determining how this profile will fit with the other components in your project.
Why Choose Knotty Alder?
Knotty Alder is popular for interior doors and millwork because of its visible knots, distinctive grain, and natural variation. Rather than trying to create a perfectly uniform appearance, Knotty Alder brings organic character to the finished project.
It works particularly well in rustic, Craftsman, mountain, farmhouse, and warm transitional interiors.
Using Knotty Alder for smaller details such as cap moulding also allows those pieces to coordinate naturally with larger Knotty Alder elements throughout the home.
Because Knotty Alder is natural wood, variations in grain, knots, and coloration should be expected from piece to piece.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is cap moulding?
Cap moulding is a decorative finishing profile used to complete the edge of another trim element or add depth and definition to a layered architectural moulding design.
What can Knotty Alder cap moulding be used for?
Depending on the design, it may be incorporated into wainscoting, wall paneling, multi-piece baseboards, casing, built-ins, cabinetry, fireplace surrounds, and other custom interior millwork.
What are the actual dimensions?
This cap moulding measures 120" long x 1-1/2" wide x 1" thick.
Is this solid wood?
This product is made from Knotty Alder, a natural wood species. Grain patterns, knots, and coloration will naturally vary between pieces.
Can Knotty Alder cap moulding be stained?
Yes. Knotty Alder is commonly selected for stained and clear-finished projects because these finishes allow its natural grain and knots to remain visible.
Can this moulding match Knotty Alder interior doors?
Yes. This is one of the strongest reasons to choose Knotty Alder cap moulding. It can coordinate with Knotty Alder interior doors, casing, baseboards, crown moulding, cabinetry, stair parts, and other architectural woodwork.
What's the difference between the 1/4" and 3/4" Knotty Alder cap moulding?
The profiles have different actual dimensions. The 1/4" Knotty Alder cap you listed measures 1-1/4" x 1", while this 3/4" cap measures 1-1/2" x 1". This profile is therefore wider and can create a more substantial finishing detail. Use the actual dimensions—not just the nominal product names—when selecting between them.

Pair this 3/4" Knotty Alder Cap Moulding with coordinating Knotty Alder interior doors, casing, baseboards, crown moulding, headers, stair parts, and other architectural millwork from CR Doors. Carrying the same wood species through both the major architectural elements and smaller finishing details helps create a cohesive, custom-built appearance.
