classical wood alternative

Classical wood alternatives are polyurethane equivalent products used in place of decorative elements traditionally made of wood in classical architecture. They reproduce details made with woodwork such as cornices, surrounds, beam cladding, columns and ornamentation in polyurethane while preserving the wood look. They are used as an alternative to wood details in interiors and exteriors. The polyurethane material is lightweight and is applied with construction adhesive; it resists moisture and impact, does not crack, swell or warp, and can be painted. Unlike wood, it does not rot, attract insects, or swell and warp when it absorbs moisture; this makes it a more stable option in wet areas and on exterior facades. Since it is mould-produced, the details repeat identically on every piece. Polure produces classical wood alternative elements in different profiles and sizes.
