        "text": "Yes, for optimal longevity and to prevent moisture damage, bathroom trim should be properly sealed. Even if using moisture-resistant materials like PVC, sealing helps create a seamless barrier. For wood trim, this means priming all sides and edges before installation and painting with a moisture-resistant paint. Gaps between the trim and walls/floor should be caulked with a mold-resistant sealant. This sealing process is critical in the humid bathroom environment to prevent water penetration, warping, and mold growth.",
