Quarter Round

Stain-Grade Wood Quarter Round in 10 Species

The core of the Ekena Millwork quarter round line is its stain-grade wood selection. Ten species are stocked: Alder, Cherry, Knotty Alder, Maple, Pine, Poplar, Red Oak, Sapele Mahogany, Walnut, and White Oak. The range covers domestic hardwoods, softwoods, and an imported hardwood in Sapele Mahogany, which lets dealers match quarter round to the species used elsewhere in a millwork package rather than defaulting to a paint-grade profile. For specifiers, stain-grade stock means the moulding can be finished to show grain and tone consistent with adjoining trim, flooring transitions, and cabinetry.

For projects that call for a painted finish, Primed Fingerjoint Pine is available as a dedicated paint-grade option. Finger-jointed and pre-primed stock is engineered for paint applications and dimensional stability, and keeping it separate from the stain-grade species keeps the selection accurate for specification. Stocking both grades from one supplier lets distributors and dealers serve stain-grade and paint-grade demand without splitting sourcing across vendors.

Moisture-Resistant Cellular PVC Quarter Round

For exterior, below-grade, and moisture-prone interior applications, Ekena Millwork offers quarter round in cellular PVC. The material is moisture resistant and does not absorb water the way wood-based moulding can, which makes it appropriate for bathrooms, basements, and exterior trim transitions where wood is at risk. Cellular PVC is paintable, so the PVC profile can be coated to match adjacent trim and integrated into the same finish scheme as the wood line.

The cellular structure is lightweight relative to comparable wood profiles, and it mills cleanly with standard cutting tools without specialized equipment. For the trade, the lighter material reduces handling weight in transit and on site, and the low-tool workability limits the opportunity for installer error on contractor accounts. The result is a moisture-resistant alternative that runs alongside the stain-grade wood offering rather than replacing it.

In-Stock Quarter Round and Fast Shipping for Trade

Both the wood and PVC quarter round lines are stocked for fast shipping. For distributors and dealers, holding 10 stain-grade species, a paint-grade option, and a cellular PVC profile in stock under one supplier consolidates a category that is often split across multiple vendors, which simplifies ordering and inventory planning. The breadth of in-stock stain-grade species in particular lets dealers fill species-matched orders from available stock rather than quoting lead times on special orders.

Distributors and dealers evaluating the line for stock should contact a sales representative to discuss program structure and pricing. Architects and specifiers can request samples to assess species, grain, and the cellular PVC profile before specifying. Where a project requires dimensional or compliance documentation beyond what is published, supply that requirement to your Ekena Millwork representative.
