Carved moulding and cornice moulding

In interior design and furniture, mouldings are thin, long elements, usually made of wood, metal or plastic. Wooden mouldings also serve decorative purposes. It is used, for example, as a ceiling moulding when overlapping a wall or ceiling. Mouldings carved with floral, geometric patterns or fantasy figures have been used throughout the history of art. Each era has had its typical patterns.

Wooden mouldings are made from different types of wood, for example beech or exotic wood.

Decorative moulding use suggestions

- Upgrading door and window frames: backer strips are an excellent way to repair damaged, aged door frames.

- They can also be used as a moulding for a moulding cover, but the moulding can also be applied to a wall.

- Nailing of parquet, carpets: nailing strips can be used to achieve a high quality nailing.

- Nailing wallpaper skirting and wall protection: thinner skirting boards can be fixed by gluing, thicker ones by dowelling.

- Picture framing. Since the back of the carved wood moulding is not grooved, it can only be framed using a special technique (by gluing the frame to the "backing" sheet of the picture).

- It can be used for furniture renovation and restoration, for example to decorate kitchen furniture with a crown moulding

- For decorating furniture.
