What is a Coped Corner?
Two walls are rarely a perfect 90-degree angle. So getting two miters to meet tight can be challenging, even if you’re a miter saw master. In a coped baseboard corner, one molding has a square cut on the end that butts against the adjacent wall. The other molding fits perfectly against the face of the first molding by cutting the end to follow the profile of the molding.
