(pronounced KAY-sing)

Most of us think of that creepy film around sausages when we hear this word, but in the A&D world it just means the trim / molding installed around windows and doors that covers the framework seam and, actually, helps all the components stay put. The casing is what gives doors and windows their style. It can be thin and plain, thick and ornate, or rough and rustic. It can whisper Asian undertones, scream French provincial, or bellow American West. So many choices…
