Moulding Types


Hardwood Moulding

We are stocked with variety of hardwood moulding consists of Redwood, Poplar, Oak, Maple, Cherry, Mahogany and Walnut and we offers custom moulding, trim and pre-finishes.

MDF Moulding

Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF) is a high-grade, composite material that is not suitable for every construction project, but it is ideal for making low-cost high quality mouldings. Moulding products tend to come primed, making it easy to paint.

Flexible Moulding

Flexible moulding is just right for curved applications, allowing builders to easily add crown moulding, chair rails, decorative trim and more to absolutely any surface. The moulding has the appearance of real wood and can be easily installed using standard woodworking equipment to cut, sand, shape and finish, just like wood.

Moulding Guides & Tips


Mouldings Material Choice And Use

Moulding comes in a variety of species and densities. Understanding the material differences and selecting the right one for your project is key to a successful installation and end result.

  • Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is a high-grade, composite material. Moulding products tend to come primed, making it easy to paint.
  • Primed finger joint products are available in pine and poplar wood. This engineered moulding is made by fitting smaller pieces together to create one long board. Finger joint moulding looks best when painted.
  • Poplar is a favored material by design professionals. The crisp grain lines and rich wood tones accept paint and stain, making it a perfect wood type for any room.
  • Pine adds a distinct character to a room. The lines from the grain and occasional knots can create interest and texture.
  • Fir offers two distinct grain patterns. Mixed grain (MG) offers coarse, wide and light to dark patterns. Vertical grain (VG) has a more consistent and tighter grain pattern and less color variation. This wood should be stained to bring out its natural beauty.
  • Oak moulding is typically milled from red or white oak, which are among the hardest and most durable wood species. Both have great grain appeal and are easy to sand, cut and finish. Your choice of stain color can really enhance the character of this material.
  • Aspen is a light, soft wood that's typically used for more ornate moulding profiles. It has a straight grain and fine uniform texture.
  • Polyurethane moulding is made from high-density polyurethane that won't warp, rot or split. This product will create detailed patterns without the expense of wood. It's lightweight for easy handling, saws like wood and comes preprimed and ready to paint.
  • Polystyrene prefinished moulding is lightweight and easy to cut using conventional saws, making installation a one-person job. These mouldings can be installed with construction adhesive or finishing nails and are slightly flexible, making them perfect for walls that aren't true. They're also moisture resistant - an ideal solution for kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gives you the look of wood with moisture protection, inside or out. Strong and durable, PVC moulding is easy to cut and installs without chipping, splitting or cracking.
