Molding
The molding is translated from English as "cast part". It is a convex plank, used for various types of finishes and decor.
It is made of natural materials: gypsum, wood, metal, marble. Modern technologies make it possible to make molding from polyurethane, polystyrene, LDF, plastic. Adding rubber gives it flexibility.
Application
The scope of its application is extensive. Use:
- as a decorative element for finishing various surfaces;
- used for zoning the room;
- for furniture decoration;
- can serve as frames for mirrors, paintings, platbands, medallions;
- in the automotive industry, it serves as decorative elements to protect the body from mechanical damage.
Polyurethane molding
Polyurethane is a synthetic, unique polymeric material. Among the plastic masses, the giants of the modern industry, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride and polyurethane, the latter is unconditionally recognized as the most universal material.
Polyurethane products are used in absolutely all sectors of the modern industry. The range of application is huge, and such universal material and manufacturers of finishing industries have not ignored. Designers appreciated the possibilities of a new type of finish.
Polyurethane molding is gaining popularity, displacing similar products from natural materials. Compared with them, it is cheaper, easier, can have a variety of types.
The ability to use polyurethane products in the decoration of not only walls, but also the ceiling, makes the decor of the entire room complete and complete. Polyurethane ceiling moldings look especially good on multi-level ceilings. In addition to their direct function (decorating the room), they can simultaneously serve as a border for individual areas of the room, to close joints and joints (for example, drywall).
Even if it is an ordinary even ceiling, the decoration from the molding will not be superfluous. He will give the room a personality, and if necessary help to hide defects in the ceiling - cracks, bumps. The small weight of the product allows the use of fairly voluminous forms. They are firmly and reliably fixed with liquid nails or special glue.
In a large room (a hall in a country house) you can make an imitation of any style: from the French palace to the English castle. Everything will depend on the imagination and taste of the designer.
A high degree of manufacturability allows us to produce moldings that simulate stucco molding, carvings of any size and complexity. Decorating doorways, columns, ceilings, arches, fireplaces, and other items becomes easy and inexpensive. A painting of stucco work under marble, stone, wood or ivory will add luxury and solidity to the interior.

Improvement of manufacturing technology, various additives allowed to expand the range of this type of finish. The use of rubber contributed to the appearance on the market of such a product as flexible molding made of polyurethane.
Its properties are such that after a little heating (with hot water), the molding can be twisted into a small ring with a diameter of only 30 cm. At ordinary room temperature, it can be freely turned into a circle with a radius of up to 60 cm.
Its use is relevant when working with uneven surfaces, or when there is a need to highlight a circle, oval and the like. As a skirting board, it will firmly and firmly join the wall, even if it does not have a perfectly smooth surface.
