- While moldura exterior refers to the physical trim, the concept of 'trimming' or 'finishing' a project in Spanish often uses the verb rematar, which literally means 'to finish' or 'to execute'.
- The word moldura belongs to a family of words related to shaping, which explains why a Spanish speaker uses the same root for a cake pan and a decorative building edge.
- In many Latin American countries, if you are talking about the trim of a car, you might hear the word embellecedor instead of moldura to emphasize its decorative purpose.
