Technical specifications of large-format profile

Model LD60 is a wide wall profile with an expressive asymmetric relief, creating an effective play of light and shadow. The 60 mm height is one of the maximum in the decorative molding assortment, making the profile a noticeable architectural element capable of dominating the interior. Such dimensions are ideally suited for rooms with high ceilings from 3 meters, spacious living rooms, halls, lobbies, and formal rooms, where it is necessary to create an impression of grandeur and respectability.

The 28 mm profile thickness provides significant volume and depth of relief, creating a pronounced three-dimensional effect on the wall. Due to this thickness, the molding casts clear shadows that change throughout the day depending on lighting, creating a dynamic picture. The standard 2000 mm length allows rational calculation of material quantity when finishing large areas. Profile LD60 has a complex curved shape with several levels of relief — convex ridges, concave grooves, smooth transitions — which gives it refined classical elegance.

The material used is high-density polystyrene (durable polymer, plant polymer, composite) — a high-tech thermoplastic polymer with density 600-650 kg/m³. The manufacturing process includes extrusion of molten polymer through a precision forming head followed by slow controlled cooling. This creates a material with uniform dense structure without voids, internal stresses, or defects. The surface of the profile is covered with a compact layer 0.5-1 mm thick, formed during molding and providing additional hardness and protection. The weight of one profile is approximately 0.60-0.75 kg, requiring reliable adhesive mounting to the wall.

Excellent operational characteristics

Polystyrene impact-resistant wall moldingHi Wood model LD60 demonstrates a complex set of unique properties of high-density industrial polymer. Absolute moisture resistance — the material is non-hygrosopic, water absorption less than 0.5%, which excludes swelling, deformation, mold and fungus formation even during prolonged use in humid rooms. The profile can be used in bathrooms, toilets, pools, saunas, kitchens, winter gardens without risk of loss of decorative and mechanical properties.

Impact-resistant polystyrene wall moldingIt has the highest resistance to ultraviolet radiation due to the inclusion of special UV stabilizers in its composition. The profile does not yellow, does not fade, does not lose its snow-white appearance even when installed in rooms with panoramic glazing and intense southern-oriented sunlight. The molecular structure of the polymer remains stable throughout the entire service life, which, with proper use, exceeds 15-20 years.

Temperature stability allows using the product in a wide range from -40 to +70°C without changes in dimensions, shape, or mechanical properties. The linear thermal expansion coefficient is 6-8×10⁻⁵ 1/°C, ensuring preservation of joint seam density during seasonal temperature fluctuations. The profile does not deform when installed near radiators, fireplaces, or windows with intense solar heating.

The mechanical strength of the dural polymer is 3-4 times higher than that of ordinary polystyrene foam. Compressive strength exceeds 200 kPa, bending strength exceeds 300 kPa, ensuring resistance to accidental impacts, pressure, and mechanical stress. The protective surface layer of increased hardness protects against scratches, chips, and abrasion during transportation, installation, and operation. The material does not crumble during processing and provides clean cuts without chips.

Antistatic properties prevent the accumulation of static electricity, thus the surface does not attract dust from the air. Biological inertness — the material is chemically neutral, not a nutrient medium for microorganisms, bacteria, mold, fungi. Polystyrene does not emit harmful substances, has no odor, is hypoallergenic, and is completely safe for health, confirmed by sanitary-epidemiological certificates. Fire safety — the material belongs to class G2 (difficult to ignite), does not support self-ignition.

Wide range of applications

polystyrene molding on the wallLD60, due to its impressive dimensions, opens up special design possibilities. Creating monumental wall panels in classic style — the main purpose of the wide profile. In spacious living rooms, formal halls, offices, dining rooms, molding LD60 is used to form large-format panels 150-200 cm high, which create an impression of luxurious palace interior. Inside the panels, expensive classic-pattern wallpapers, Venetian plaster, fabric upholstery, decorative paintings are placed.

Framing architectural features — fireplace openings, door and window openings, arches, bay windows — using a wide profile gives these elements monumentality and grandeur. Molding LD60 creates an expressive frame that draws attention to the architectural element, making it the center of composition. Double or triple framing using profiles of different widths creates an effect of multi-layered molding and enhances the impression of luxury.

Ceiling decoration — using a wide molding as an alternative to traditional ceiling cornices. Profile LD60 creates a powerful expressive ceiling frame, emphasizing the scale of the room, visually increasing height. Especially effective wide molding looks in rooms with high ceilings 3-4 meters, where standard cornices appear disproportionately small. Molding can be combined with corner elements, ceiling rose fixtures, creating complex multi-level compositions in baroque, rococo, and neoclassical styles.

Zoning of large spaces — in large open-plan rooms, studios, lofts, wide molding is used for visual division of functional zones without erecting partitions. Vertical moldings from floor to ceiling create a visual boundary between living room and dining room, kitchen and relaxation zone, while preserving openness of space and natural lighting. Creating pilasters and columns — installing two parallel moldings 20-30 cm apart imitates classical pilasters, visually increases room height, creates rhythmic vertical composition.

Professional installation technology

Solutionbuy polystyrene moldingInstallation of large-format profile requires special attention to mounting technology. Surface preparation is critically important — walls must be perfectly flat, as the wide profile emphasizes any defects. Permissible unevenness is no more than 3-5 mm per linear meter. Significant discrepancies are eliminated by applying joint compound to guides followed by sanding. Surface is primed with acrylic primer in two coats to improve adhesion.

Marking is performed with maximum precision. For horizontal lines, a laser level with the ability to project a line around the entire perimeter of the room is used. When creating wall panels, a detailed project on millimeter paper to scale with exact dimensions of all elements, symmetry, and proportion calculations is first prepared. Then, marking is transferred to walls using a laser level, long ruler, and construction square. It is important to consider the golden ratio rule — the ratio of panel height to wall height should be approximately 1:1.618 for harmonious perception.

Adhesive for mounting large-format profile must have increased strength. Optimal choice — professional mounting adhesives on MS polymers such as Soudal Fix All High Tack, Moment Mounting Super Strong Plus, Macrophlex WhiteTeq. Adhesive is applied to the back of the profile in a continuous snake-like pattern or dots with diameter 3-4 cm spaced 8-10 cm apart. Special attention is paid to profile ends — adhesive must be applied to prevent edge detachment.

After applying adhesive, the profile is placed against the wall according to the marking and pressed evenly along the entire length with a force of 10-15 kg. Due to the significant weight of the profile, reliable fixation is required during adhesive setting. Special supports — wooden beams with support on the floor or opposite wall — are used to press the profile until the adhesive fully dries (24 hours). Additional use of painter’s tape along the entire length of the profile. Some installers use temporary fastening with self-tapping screws in inconspicuous places, which are removed after the adhesive dries and the holes are filled with joint compound.

Processing and corner joints

Questionhow to cut polystyrene moldingEspecially relevant for large-format profile with complex relief. For straight cuts, optimal is a miter saw with plastic blade diameter 210-250 mm, which provides perfectly flat and perpendicular cut without chips due to high rotational speed and small tooth. Electric jigsaw with quality plastic blade T101BR also gives good results when maintaining low speed and smooth feed. Metal hacksaw with small 1 mm tooth is suitable for single cuts, but requires physical effort and skill to achieve a clean cut.

How to cut polystyrene moldingWhat about corner joints? Professional miter saw with the ability to fix the workpiece is mandatory. Due to the large profile thickness of 28 mm, a miter saw with sufficient cut depth is required. For internal corners, each profile is cut at 45° angle. When installing in the miter saw, the profile must fit tightly against the rear wall of the saw with the side that will be mounted to the wall facing down. The decorative side with relief should face you.

After cutting, ends are carefully processed with sandpaper grit 180-240, special attention is paid to protruding relief elements that may have burrs. When joining corner elements, it is important to precisely align the relief pattern — all grooves and ridges must smoothly transition from one profile to another. Adhesive is applied to ends, parts are pressed and fixed with painter’s tape in a crisscross pattern. After drying, minimal gaps up to 1 mm are filled with white acrylic sealant.

Final finishing and painting

Buy polystyrene molding for wallCan be used in white color or for painting. After installation, all joints are filled with acrylic sealant, applied with a caulking gun and smoothed with a wet putty knife. After drying, joints are sanded to perfect smoothness with sandpaper grit 220-240. Wide profile with deep relief requires special attention during sanding — do not damage protruding elements.

For painting, only water-based paints are used: acrylic, latex, water-emulsion. Surface is pre-primed with acrylic primer to improve adhesion and reduce paint consumption. Painting is done in two to three layers with a soft-bristled brush for quality relief coverage. First layer is applied along the profile, second layer — across for even coverage of all relief elements. Roller is suitable only for smooth areas, recesses must be painted with a brush.

Color solutions are diverse. White moldings on colored walls create a classic contrast. Moldings in wall color form a monochromatic relief. Metallic finishes (gold, silver, bronze) add luxury to classic interiors. Patination — applying dark paint into the recesses of the relief and then blending it — creates an effect of antique molding and emphasizes the depth of the relief.

Combination with interior styles

The wide LD60 molding is optimal for classic styles. In baroque style, it is used with gold, rich ornamentation, combined with stucco, rosettes, cornices. In Empire style, it emphasizes monumentality, solemnity, symmetry. Neoclassicism implies a more restrained application — accent walls, selective framing. In modern eclectic interiors, a wide classic molding creates an interesting contrast with minimalist furniture and modern technologies.

Care and longevity

The profile requires no complex maintenance — regular dry cleaning with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a soft attachment removes dust from the relief. Wet cleaning 2-4 times a year with mild cleaning agents maintains cleanliness. Deep relief requires more careful cleaning — a soft brush can be used to remove dust from recesses. In case of damage, local repair with putty and touch-up is possible. Repainting allows updating the interior without replacing elements.

Economic Efficiency

The cost of polystyrene moldings is 50-70% lower than analogs made of polyurethane and plaster. One wide molding replaces a composition of several narrow profiles, saving installation time and labor costs. A lifespan exceeding 15-20 years and minimal operating expenses make investments cost-effective. The possibility of self-installation with tools and skills saves up to 50% of labor costs.
