Frequently Asked Questions
What are decorative mouldings?
Decorative mouldings are ornamental strips that are installed onto walls, ceilings, or furnishings to add visual interest, depth and architectural detail. Common types include crown mouldings, dado rails, skirting boards, wall panelling and ceiling medallions. Our selection offers our best profile designs for wall panel moulding.
How to fit decorative mouldings?
Here's an outline:
To fit mouldings for wall panelling, first measure the area, plan your layout and cut the moulding to the proper lengths with a fine-toothed saw. Use a mitre box to cut precise 45 degree mitre joints for the corners. Apply adhesive to the back surface before pressing the mouldings firmly in place, lining up the mitre seams smoothly. Use finishing nails through the moulding face for extra support.
What are decorative mouldings made from?
Our decorative mouldings are made of MDF - medium density fibreboard - which offers durability along with ease of cutting, installing and painting the mouldings. MDF provides smooth, consistent surfaces for accepting primer and paint finishes. It's also moisture-resistant and lightweight.
Can you cut decorative mouldings?
Yes, decorative mouldings made of MDF can be easily cut to size using common tools like mitre saws, table saws or hand saws. Precision mitre cuts may require a mitre box guide and fine finishing blade for smooth edges.
