Unfinished Solid Wood Mouldings
Unfinished solid wood mouldings are the most common mouldings used in homes. They are made from pine or hardwood and milled in many profiles to match nearly any decorating style. Unfinished solid wood mouldings are supplied in two major grades: stain grade moulding and primed finger joint or paint grade moulding. Stain grade moulding is made from clear lumber to allow it to accept stains well without blotching or streaking. The absence of knots and other defects allow stain mouldings to produce a rich even finish after staining or clear coating. Paint grade or primed finger joint moulding is made from short pieces of pine finger joined to form each piece of moulding. The presence of finger joints makes this form of moulding unsuitable for clear coating or staining.
Medium Density Fiberboard Moulding (MDF)
This is a lightweight engineered wood product that cuts and works just like wood, but with limited movements due to temperature and humidity changes. Medium density fiberboard mouldings come preprimed and ready to paint. Their stability and workability make them a perfect option for any moulding application where a paint grade solution is desired.
