Technical Characteristics and Geometry

wall molding polystyreneD22V1 has carefully developed technical parameters that make it the optimal choice for creating expressive interior compositions. The 22-millimeter profile width ensures excellent visual prominence of the molding, allowing to create accent compositions without overloading the space. This is the optimal size for most residential and public interiors.

The 10.3-millimeter profile height creates sufficient volume for forming expressive play of light and shadow on the surface. The D22V1 profile has a characteristic shaped form with three parallel grooves of different depths, which gives the molding classical architectural expressiveness. Such profile geometry is traditionally used in classical and neoclassical interiors to create the effect of expensive architectural moldings.

The standard molding length of 2.0 meters is universal for transportation, storage, and installation in rooms of standard height. This length allows working with the molding in typical residential spaces, minimizing the number of joints and simplifying the calculation of the required material quantity. The weight of one molding is about 150 grams due to the use of lightweight but dense fitopolymer.

Polystyrene impact-resistant wall moldingD22V1 is produced from a special composite material known in the industry as fitopolymer or duro-polymer. It is a modified high-density polystyrene (680 kg/m³) with improved mechanical and operational characteristics. The material is specifically developed for producing high-quality decorative elements for interiors and exteriors.

Production is carried out in South Korea on modern high-precision equipment using advanced polymer extrusion technologies. Quality control includes multi-stage geometric dimension checks with tolerances no more than 0.2 millimeters, mechanical strength tests, and surface checks for the presence of minor defects. Each batch of the product is accompanied by certificates of conformity to international ISO standards.

The accuracy of the profile geometry guarantees ideal element fitting during installation, even in the most complex compositions. Dimensional deviations along the molding length are minimal, which is especially important when creating extended linear elements and complex framed structures. The molding surface is perfectly smooth, fully ready for painting without additional sanding, priming, or other preparatory work.

Unique Properties of Fitopolymer

Impact-resistant polystyrene wall moldingD22V1 is manufactured from high-tech fitopolymer with a unique set of characteristics.

The material's high density of 680 kg/m³ significantly exceeds the density of ordinary polystyrene (150-200 kg/m³) and approaches the characteristics of polyurethane. This ensures exceptional mechanical strength, resistance to impacts and loads, and longevity of the product. The material does not deform under its own weight even over large spans, maintaining an ideally flat geometry for decades.

Absolute moisture resistance is a fundamental advantage of fitopolymer. The material has zero water absorption, making it an ideal choice not only for interiors with any humidity level but even for exterior facade cladding. The molding can be safely used in bathrooms, showers, saunas, pools, kitchens, basements, balconies, and loggias. The material does not swell, does not deform, and does not lose strength under any humidity fluctuations.

No shrinkage – a critically important characteristic for decorative elements. Fitopolymer does not shrink after installation, and joints remain sealed and invisible throughout the entire service life. This distinguishes high-quality Korean material from cheap analogs that may shrink and form gaps at joints.

Does not yellow over time – an important advantage for white and light interiors. Unlike some polymer materials, fitopolymer retains its original snowy white color for decades, does not acquire yellow or gray tones under the influence of light, temperature, or time.

Material light-blocking is especially important for moldings with backlighting. Fitopolymer completely blocks light passage, eliminating the need to cover the profile with light-reflective materials on the reverse side. This simplifies installation and guarantees even light distribution when using LED strips.

polystyrene molding on the wallD22V1 does not require priming before painting. The fitopolymer surface perfectly accepts paint without any preliminary preparation, saving time and materials during finishing. Paint lays evenly, adheres firmly, does not peel off or crack over time.

Temperature stability allows using the molding in a wide temperature range from minus 50 to plus 80 degrees Celsius. The material does not become brittle at extremely low temperatures and does not soften upon heating. This makes fitopolymer suitable for use in unheated rooms and on building facades in any climate zone.

Biological resistance provides complete protection against organic damage. Fitopolymer is not a nutrient medium for mold, fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms. It does not attract insects, is not susceptible to rot. This characteristic is critically important for the longevity and health safety of occupants.

The material's ecological safety is confirmed by international certificates. Fitopolymer does not contain harmful substances – formaldehyde, phenols, heavy metals, volatile organic compounds. Under normal operating conditions, the material is completely inert and does not emit any vapors or odors into the room air.

Wide Range of Applications

buy polystyrene moldingD22V1 is suitable for implementing the most diverse design and architectural tasks due to the universality of the profile.

Creating wall decorative panels and frames – a classic application of molding with an expressive profile. Using D22V1, you can form rectangular or square compositions of various sizes on walls, imitating traditional classical interior pilasters. The relief profile with three parallel grooves creates the effect of expensive architectural moldings, adding nobility and respectability to the interior.

Framing mirrors, paintings, and artworks – an elegant application of D22V1 molding. The expressive profile creates a full decorative frame that highlights the value of the framed object and gives it museum-like significance. The 22-millimeter profile width is ideal for medium and large mirrors, paintings, photo galleries, tapestries. The shaped form with multiple relief levels adds classic refinement.

Architectural zoning of walls is an effective technique in classical interiors.how to cut polystyrene moldingD22V1 for creating horizontal division of the wall into upper and lower parts. The molding is installed at a height of 90-100 centimeters from the floor, after which the upper and lower parts are painted in different colors or covered with different wallpapers. This is a classic technique that visually lowers high ceilings and makes the room more cozy.

Decorative treatment of door and window openings adds architectural expressiveness and grandeur to the interior. Molding D22V1 is used to create additional decorative framing around standard casings, visually increasing the significance of the opening and drawing attention to it. The relief profile is especially effective under side lighting, creating an expressive play of light and shadow.

Ceiling decoration using molding creates the effect of classical mansion coffered ceilings. D22V1 is mounted on the ceiling, forming a geometric ornament of rectangles or squares. Internal areas can be painted in contrasting or tonal colors. This solution visually structures the ceiling, adding grandeur, nobility, and classic elegance to the room.

Furniture decoration – a popular direction for using expressive moldings. D22V1 is glued to flat fronts of cabinets, chests, kitchen sets, creating a volumetric relief surface with classical pilasters. This allows transforming simple MDF furniture into the appearance of expensive furniture in the classical, Empire, or neoclassical style.

Facade application became possible due to the exceptional characteristics of fitopolymer. Molding D22V1 can be used for exterior facade cladding, creating window frames, decorating entrance groups, and architectural division of facade surfaces. The material withstands all climatic influences – rain, snow, wind, temperature fluctuations, ultraviolet radiation.

Professional installation technology

How to cut polystyrene moldingD22V1 for achieving ideal joints – a fundamental question of quality installation.

A construction knife with replaceable blades is suitable for cutting straight sections. However, due to the increased density of the fitopolymer, a particularly sharp blade and more effort are required. It is recommended to make several passes with gradual deepening along a metal ruler.

A metal hacksaw with fine teeth is the optimal tool for working with dense fitopolymer. Small teeth ensure a clean, neat cut without chipping the material. When working with D22V1, it is especially important not to rush and avoid excessive pressure, allowing the tool to work evenly.

A professional-grade miter box is an indispensable tool for cutting moldings at precise angles. For fitopolymer, it is recommended to use a metal miter box with reliable guides to ensure maximum cutting accuracy. The molding is securely fixed in the miter box before cutting.

An electric jigsaw or a miter saw are recommended tools for working with fitopolymer in large volumes. The dense material requires high-quality saw blades with fine teeth and operation at medium speeds. A miter saw ensures maximum accuracy and productivity.

Surface preparation for installing fitopolymer molding requires special care due to the increased weight of the profile compared to standard polystyrene. The base must be absolutely clean, dry, dust-free, and strong. Loose and peeling coatings must be completely removed.

Surface priming is mandatory to ensure maximum adhesive bond. It is recommended to use a deep-penetration primer, which will strengthen the base and create a strong foundation for the adhesive joint.

Choosing the right adhesive is critically important for secure attachment of the fitopolymer molding. The Hi Wood manufacturer recommends using their own specialized adhesives: HD700 for standard installation, HD1000 (hybrid adhesive) for profiles wider than 100 mm or for particularly critical areas, HD500 (adhesive putty) for filling joints. Alternatively, high-quality liquid nails based on polymer can be used.

Adhesive application on fitopolymer molding is applied more densely than on standard polystyrene. It is recommended to apply adhesive in a continuous wavy line or in frequent dots spaced 7-10 centimeters apart. After application, a 2-3 minute pause is allowed for the adhesive to thicken.

Attaching D22V1 molding requires firm, even pressure along the entire length. Due to the increased density of the material, it is recommended to use additional fixation with painter’s tape spaced 20-30 centimeters apart until the adhesive fully dries.

Corner joints are made using the standard 45-degree bevel cut method. However, the relief profile of D22V1 requires special cutting precision — even minor deviations will be noticeable on the pronounced relief. It is recommended to use a miter saw for maximum accuracy.

Final finishing includes filling joints with special HD500 adhesive putty from Hi Wood or a high-quality acrylic sealant. After drying, the joints are lightly sanded with fine-grit sandpaper for a perfectly smooth finish.

Painting D22V1 molding does not require prior priming. Fitopolymer perfectly accepts acrylic, water-emulsion, and silicone paints. It is recommended to apply 2-3 thin coats with full drying between layers for even coverage and rich color saturation.

Care and Maintenance

Buy polystyrene molding for wallD22V1 requires no complex maintenance due to the unique properties of the fitopolymer.

Regular dry cleaning is performed using a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner with a soft attachment. The smooth surface of fitopolymer does not accumulate dust as intensely as porous materials.

Wet cleaning is allowed using any non-abrasive cleaning agents. Fitopolymer is resistant to household chemicals and easily removes any contaminants.

Fitopolymer has significantly higher resistance to mechanical impacts compared to standard polystyrene. The material withstands accidental impacts without chipping or damage.
