Which term refers to trim on the exterior of a door that creates a transition between the door jamb and the exterior cladding?

  1. Brick mold

  2. Flashing

  3. Counter-Flashing

  4. Casing

The correct answer is: Brick mold

The correct term for the trim on the exterior of a door that creates a transition between the door jamb and the exterior cladding is "brick mold." Brick mold is specifically designed to frame the exterior edges of the door opening, providing a finished look and protecting the integrity of the door installation. It helps to cover gaps and provides weather resistance by directing water away from the door area. In contrast, flashing is a material used to prevent water intrusion at joints or edges, often involving roofing or siding installations. Counter-flashing is typically associated with masonry work where it overlaps existing flashing to create a watertight seal. Casing is the interior trim around a door or window, which serves a decorative purpose but does not apply to the external transition between the door jamb and the cladding. Thus, "brick mold" accurately describes this specific function.
