brick mold

Exterior door trim

Brick mold is the exterior trim around a door or window frame, designed to cover the gap between the frame and the surrounding wall.

The name comes from its traditional use against brick walls, though it appears on all construction types.

Brick mold provides a finished appearance and a surface for attaching screen doors or storm doors: We need to replace the rotted brick mold before painting.
