These boards are not very pretty but if you can find some nice ones in the pile, I am sure you can use them for trim in a storage area. If that is the way you decide to go, I will definitely pick them out in store.
Yes, that is exactly what they are for
You are correct it is confusing. The insulation board I am using is 1" thick to either way these boards won't be thick enough. These companies continue to skimp. Looks like i will have to add screen molding to these to make them thick enough. If there is another option - other than planing - I'd love to hear it. Space is critical so I can't use anything over 1".
yes.
Yes, these are meant for jobs like that
yes you can do that.
I think not. When I bought 12 of them, they were 12 in a bundle. When I bought 11 of them earlier this year, it was 11 loose pieces.
Yes you could, if your planer accepts the size
No, they are very easy to cut. I pretty much always cut them by hand in my mitre box
