  • The mouldings are for indoor use only and should not be in direct contact with water.
  • Possible faults in the material can only be claimed back if noticed before fitting!
  • Room temperature and moisture have to be normal. Room’s temperature should be approx 20˚C and air’s relative humidity approx 40%. Basically this means that the walls and ceiling should be dry and the doors and windows should be glazed.
  • Before fitting, you should leave the moulding to acclimatise for 72 hours in the room where it is to be fitted. This will ensure that the mitre cuts do not split after installation. The packaging does not have to be totally removed. It is enough to open the ends of the packaging so that the possible humidity is released
Flexible strip is suitable for finishing off a variety of joints. The advance of using flexible strips is that they bend according to the corners which corner and edging strips do not do.
You can protect a room’s external corners that often get hard wear, by using flexible strips. Measure the required length from the corner and cut the strip to the correct length. Bend the strip to the corner so that the coated surface is visible. Nail or glue it down. Do the same thing whether it is internal or external corner and on any corner angles. Flexible strip is also suitable for used as a cornice, and is an excellent choice for inclined ceilings.

Fitting is neat and easy with screws, nails or a nail gun. For white moulding, the Maler touch-up paint is great for covering marks incurred whilst fixing.
