This architectural profile serves as a sleek linear divider for modern wall and facade designs. Measuring 97 mm in height, it creates clean transitions and subtle depth on flat surfaces, offering designers a crisp alternative to heavy plaster or warp-prone timber mouldings.
Manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), the profile combines the structural density of softwood with a lightweight composition. Each 2400 mm piece features a 28 mm depth, providing a distinct relief without protruding excessively. With a water absorption rate under 1%, it resists rot, swelling, and insect damage, maintaining dimensional stability across temperatures from -20 °C / +70 °C.
The visual profile showcases a stepped geometric cross-section. It features a flat central band flanked by subtle, symmetric steps that transition smoothly into the mounting surface. The factory-applied primer coat gives the surface a smooth, uniform texture, preparing it for final finishing coats of water-based or synthetic paints.
Ideal for both interior and exterior environments, this multi-functional moulding acts as a wainscoting cap, a chair rail, or a decorative frame on walls. In exterior architecture, it serves beautifully as a horizontal band or window surround, provided it is finished with a UV-resistant coating to protect against solar exposure.
Installation is highly efficient compared to heavy plaster alternatives. The profile is cut at a 45-degree angle for corners, bonded using a polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive, and secured mechanically with screws. After filling joints and sanding, it is ready for paint. Unlike MDF or EPS, it will not crumble under impact or degrade in humid environments.
Delivering durability and sharp architectural lines, this high-performance profile is the preferred choice for commercial and residential projects demanding low-maintenance, long-lasting surface definition.
- This versatile profile serves multiple decorative functions across residential, commercial, and hospitality settings
- Indoors, use it as a classic chair rail to divide two-tone painted walls or to cap wainscoting panels in dining rooms, hotel lobbies, and hallways
- It is also excellent for creating mock-panel frames (boiserie) on minimalist living room walls or behind bed headboards
- Outdoors, it functions as a clean horizontal band (bandcourse) to break up large facade surfaces on modern villas or commercial facades, or as a clean window and door trim
- Assess water and moisture exposure using the product technical data, surface finish and installation details
- Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and level
- Cut the profiles to the required lengths using a miter saw, performing 45-degree cuts for corner joints
- Apply a high-quality polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive along the rear mounting channels of the profile; do not use silicone-based adhesives
- Press the trim firmly onto the wall and secure it mechanically with screws to ensure long-term stability
- Fill any screw holes and joint seams with a suitable acrylic or polyurethane filler
- Once cured, sand the joints smooth using 180-220 grit sandpaper
- The factory primer prepares the surface for painting; however, applying an additional primer is optional and at the user's discretion before applying two coats of water-based or synthetic paint
- For exterior projects, finishing with a UV-resistant paint is mandatory
- Maintenance is minimal due to the non-porous surface of the material
- Clean the profile periodically using a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent; avoid harsh chemical solvents
- For exterior installations, inspect the painted surface every few years and reapply UV-resistant paint if weathering occurs
- In the event of minor surface impacts or scratches, the profile can be easily repaired by applying a small amount of putty, sanding it smooth, and touch-up painting
Can this border profile be used in damp areas like bathrooms or pool houses?
Yes, absolutely. Because it is made of high-density rigid polyurethane with a closed-cell structure, its water absorption rate is less than 1%. Unlike wood or MDF, it will not swell, warp, or rot when exposed to high humidity, making it perfect for bathrooms, spas, and kitchens.
Is it necessary to apply an additional primer coat before painting?
The profile comes with a factory-applied primer that prepares the surface for paint adhesion. However, since paint manufacturers do not guarantee performance on third-party pre-primed surfaces, applying an additional primer is an optional step left to the customer's choice and discretion.
How do I install this profile on an exterior facade?
For exterior use, bond the profile to a clean substrate using polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive and secure it with mechanical screws. Fill joints with an exterior-grade joint filler, sand them smooth, and apply a high-quality UV-resistant exterior paint to prevent yellowing or weathering over time.
What are the main advantages of this material over plaster or timber?
Polyurethane is significantly lighter and less brittle than traditional plaster, reducing building load and installation effort. Compared to wood or MDF, it tolerates moisture and is less prone to insect damage, warping, or cracking over time, offering long-lasting performance.
Can I cut and screw this profile like real wood?
Yes, the material has a density comparable to softwood (150-220 kg/m³). It can be easily cut, mitered, drilled, and screwed using standard woodworking tools without cracking or splitting, allowing for fast and precise installation.
