Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is polyurethane (PU) decorative material?

A: Polyurethane (PU) decorative material is a high-density closed-cell polymer molded into architectural profiles such as cornices, ceiling medallions, wall panels, columns, and skirting boards. It replicates the appearance of plaster, carved wood, or stone at one-quarter the weight, is fully waterproof, impact-resistant, and arrives factory-primed for paint.

Q: How does PU compare with plaster and wood mouldings?

A: PU is lighter than plaster (no scaffolding required), impact-resistant during transport, and immune to cracking. Compared with wood, PU does not warp, split, or attract termites, and it tolerates moisture in bathrooms and kitchens. The trade-off: PU cannot be refinished the way solid wood can, but its lifespan is 20–30+ years with minimal maintenance.

Q: How do you cut and finish PU mouldings?

A: Cut PU mouldings with a fine-tooth miter saw (40+ teeth for a 10-inch blade) to avoid chipping the molded edge. Sand the cut edge with 220-grit, then apply two coats of interior latex paint. Mitre joints at corners, fill seams with lightweight spackle, sand smooth, and finish with one final top coat.

Q: Is PU moulding safe for indoor air quality?

A: Yes. Premium PU mouldings are manufactured without formaldehyde, asbestos, or VOCs. They meet EN 13501-1 Class E fire classification as a minimum, with Class B fire-retardant versions available for commercial projects. The factory-applied water-based primer further reduces off-gassing once installed.
