Polyurethane PU Flat Moulding

Polyurethane Flat moldings cover a large group of moldings that can be used in a variety of areas such as; casing, chair rail, wall relief, ceiling relief, and door and window trim. These versatile moldings are the backbone of interior design.

Designed for use as chair rail, wall and ceiling relief, and door and window trim, our flat moldings are versatile, easy to install, and are the backbone of interior design. Create that amazing ceiling you've always dreamed about, update those old, boring kitchen cabinets, or create the look of wainscoting on your walls, all at a fraction of the cost.

A major advantage of polyurethane is that it will not expand, constrict or warp over time with changes in temperature or humidity, so it's safe to install in rooms with the presence of moisture like bathrooms and kitchens. This product will not encourage the growth of mold or mildew, and it will never rot.

Installation is simplified with the use of modern adhesives. Small finish nails are used to secure the molding while the adhesives set. See below for installation instructions.

DIY Tips
Before you Begin -
When planning for PU chair rail or other molding, inspect the walls and/or ceiling to see if any vents or other objects are within the footprint of the moldings. Consider mitered returns at the ends of any molding runs that may be interrupted by these items.

Painting -
Since working at waist level is usually easier than working over your head, we recommend painting the molding before beginning the installation process. Imperfections can be touched up after you have completed the install. Always test a section of the front of the molding with your paint choice before committing to painting all of your molding.

Joining Pieces -
Always use an appropriate amount of adhesive on the end of any of the molding being joined end to end. This prevents the molding from separating as the house walls expand and contract from temperature changes.

Last Piece on a Wall -
For a tight fit and seams, cut the last piece that is going to be on a wall just a little long. 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch is usually enough to allow you to snap that piece in place making sure all your joints stay nice and tight.

Lining Up The Pieces -
When two pieces of molding are being joined together in a run (end to end) leave the last two feet of the open end of the installed molding loose so you can have some alignment room when you join the next piece.
