Blocks between trim and baseboard?
I have seen pictures where there is a block between door casings and baseboards. Probably because the casing and baseboard have different thicknesses. I think it looks quite good.
I was planning to use only casings and baseboards (purchased from Gapro - 15 mm).
Now it turns out that the casings have a recess where it meets the baseboard. In other words, the baseboard is thicker where they meet.
What's the best way to solve this? Is the only option to use blocks?
Where can you buy those?

It's an option I've considered. I've tried beveling the edge but haven't been completely satisfied. A bit of caulk might make it better.
I've searched a bit online and seen that they are also called sockelkloss.

I believe it's available at well-stocked hardware stores. I think the manufacturer also makes door arches. I can't think of anything else except that I've seen it at Silvanbygg, I think it was. You know, visiting every hardware store you see... ;-)
It was easier to find now that I had the correct keyword "sockelkloss". Both Gapro and Moelven had this in their regular assortment.
Baseboard block, or molding block as it is also called, is available by the meter at well-stocked lumberyards. It has always been used before as a finishing touch whether needed or not. Provides a much better overall impression.
