The compact profile of the molding makes it a universal tool for decorating various interior zones. The product is excellent for creating framed compositions on walls, decorating door and window openings, visually zoning space, decorating furniture facades and built-in structures. SuchMDF moldingfits organically into interiors of classical, neoclassical, Scandinavian, modern, and minimalist styles.

Material of manufacture: advantages of medium-density fiberboard

The basis for producing molding MLD-001-MG is high-quality medium-density fiberboard, obtained by hot pressing fine-dispersed wood fibers with binding components. This modern composite material has a uniform dense structure without knots, cracks, resin pockets, and other natural defects typical of solid wood. The production technology guarantees the stability of the product’s geometric parameters throughout its entire service life, completely eliminating warping, twisting, and deformation of the profile under changes in the room’s temperature-humidity regime.

MDF surpasses natural wood in a number of operational characteristics. The material demonstrates high mechanical strength, resistance to cracking and splitting during installation, excellent machinability with cutting tools, and reliable retention of fasteners. The surface of the board is characterized by ideal smoothness and uniformity, creating an excellent base for applying primer and paint coatings. Unlike solid wood, where the direction of fibers affects the adhesion of finishing materials, MDF ensures uniform absorption and adhesion of paints across the entire profile area.

The ecological indicators of modern MDF comply with the strictest international safety standards for human health. During board production, natural wood fibers and synthetic resin-based binding components are used, which do not emit harmful volatile compounds into the room’s atmosphere under normal operating conditions. The products successfully passed necessary laboratory tests and received certificates of compliance, confirming their suitability for use in residential spaces, children’s facilities, medical, and educational institutions without any safety restrictions.

Professional primer coating

The key advantage of model MLD-001-MG lies in its high-quality factory primer layer, which fully prepares the surface for final finishing. The primer penetrates deeply into the MDF structure, fills the material’s micropores, and forms a dense, uniform film ensuring excellent adhesion with any type of paint. This intermediate layer performs several important functions simultaneously: significantly reduces the absorbency of the substrate, levels its tone, prevents uneven drying of the final coating, and considerably reduces the consumption of expensive finishing materials during painting.

The color of the factory primer has a light shade, slightly darker than pure white, allowing the finishing painter to visually control the uniformity of the final paint application and achieve an ideal result without gaps or uncoated areas. When using white or light enamel, such a primer does not show through the top layer and does not affect the final coating color. If, however, paintingmolding for paintingin dark or saturated colors, the primer base is easily covered even by a single layer of final paint, ensuring purity and depth of the chosen tone.

The primed surface of the molding is compatible with all common types of interior paint and coating materials. It accepts acrylic water-dispersed paints, alkyd enamels, polyurethane and polyurethane-alkyd compositions, traditional oil-based paints, as well as modern hybrid systems of the latest generation. The primer has universal adhesion properties and ensures reliable bonding with the coating regardless of its chemical nature. This gives designers and finishers complete freedom in selecting materials for the final finishing of the molding, taking into account the specific requirements of the project and the conditions of the room’s operation.

Geometric profile parameters

Profile dimensions 10 × 6 mm make thisdecorative moldingone of the most compact and universal elements in the range of interior trim products. The low height allows using it to create thin, elegant lines in the interior, which highlight the architecture of the space without overloading the visual perception of the room with excessive decoration. Such molding is ideal for rooms with low ceilings, where bulky decorative elements may create a feeling of confinement and pressure. The compact profile visually expands the space, making it lighter and more airy, while retaining all the decorative functions of a classic molding.

The standard length of 2600 mm corresponds to typical dimensions of most rooms and allows minimizing the number of joints during installation on walls and ceilings. Long molding strips ensure continuity of decorative lines, create visually cohesive compositions, and simplify the installation process for the installer. If necessary, the molding can be easily cut to size using a fine-toothed hacksaw, a circular saw, or a jigsaw, allowing it to be adapted to any architectural features of the room, non-standard wall dimensions, and complex spatial configurations.

The geometric shape of the molding profile is designed to ensure maximum tightness against the wall or ceiling surface. The flat mounting side of the product guarantees reliable contact with the base, eliminating gaps and voids during installation. The front sideof the primed MDF moldinghas a smooth semi-circular relief, creating a soft play of light and shadow on the surface, adding additional volume and expressiveness to the interior. Such a profile shape is classic and universal, fitting organically into any interior design style.

Installation technology

Installing molding does not require special professional skills and can be performed by a technician of average qualification using a standard set of tools. Before starting installation, the wall or ceiling surface must be thoroughly prepared: it must be flat, clean, dry, and degreased. All irregularities, cracks, and dents should be pre-filled and sanded, as the compact molding profile will accentuate any defects in the base. For the best result, it is recommended to pre-prime the wall surface at the molding attachment points with a deep-penetration primer.

Mounting the molding can be done in several ways depending on the type of base and operating conditions. The most common method is gluing using a special mounting adhesive for wooden and MDF trim. The adhesive is applied to the back of the molding in a zigzag pattern or in dots spaced 15-20 cm apart, after which the strip is firmly pressed against the surface and fixed in the desired position. To ensure proper adhesion, the molding must be held firmly in place for several minutes or temporarily supported by temporary props.

For additional fixation, you can use finishing nails or concealed-head screws. The fasteners are installed at intervals of 30-40 cm and driven into the molding surface to a depth of 1-2 mm. The resulting indentations are then filled with wood-based acrylic putty, which is carefully sanded with fine-grit sandpaper after drying. This method of mounting is especially relevant for heavy, wide moldings or when installing on less reliable bases.

Special attention is required when installing corners duringTo create a neat internal or external corner, precisely cut the ends of the strips at a 45-degree angle using a mitre box or a miter saw. The quality of the cut directly affects the appearance of the finished product, so it is recommended to practice on material scraps beforehand. After joining the strips at the corners, carefully fill the joint with acrylic caulk or putty, smooth it with a damp sponge, and after drying, sand it to a perfectly smooth surface.Primed molding opens up endless possibilities for choosing a finish. The most common option is painting with white acrylic water-dispersible paint. White

To achieve a perfectly white surface, it is recommended to apply two to three coats of paint with intermediate drying and light sanding using fine-grit sandpaper.Paintable MoldingFor more expressive design solutions, molding can be painted in contrasting colors relative to the walls. Dark moldings on light walls create a clear graphic structure in the interior, emphasize architectural lines, and give the room a sense of formality and elegance. Light moldings on dark walls, on the contrary, create a sense of airiness and lightness, visually increase ceiling height, and expand the space. When choosing paint color, it is important to consider the overall color concept of the interior and ensure harmonious coordination of all decorative elements.

For rooms in a classical style, decorative painting techniques with patina, aging, or gilding effects can be used. Patina involves applying a base coat of paint to the molding surface, then partially darkening the recesses with a darker paint or special patina compound. This technique creates an effect of noble antiquity and adds an aristocratic touch to the interior. Gilding is performed using special paints with metallic pigment or decorative gold leaf and is used to create luxurious interiors in the Baroque or Art Deco styles.

Areas of application in interior design

Wall compositions fromMDF moldingallow creating refined decorative panels that imitate classic boiserie or form modern geometric patterns. Rectangular frames of different sizes, arranged in a specific order on the wall, visually structure the space, create rhythm, and add architectural expressiveness to the room. The interior of the frames can be left in the wall's tone, painted in a contrasting color, covered with patterned wallpaper or decorative fabric, creating unique design effects.

Molding around door and window openings gives them a finished, elegant look, hides irregularities at the junction of different materials, and creates a smooth visual transition between structural elements.Molding primedIt can be painted in the color of door or window frames, wall color, or a contrasting shade to create an accent. Framing arched openings looks especially effective, as the molding emphasizes the smooth curve and adds additional expressiveness to the structure.

Decorating furniture and built-in structures with molding allows integrating them into the overall interior concept. A standard wardrobe with molding frames on its facades appears as a built-in classic-style cabinet. Kitchen facades decorated with molding look more luxurious and elegant. Built-in niches and shelves framed with molding become full-fledged architectural elements of the interior, drawing attention and creating focal points in the space.

Zoning space using horizontalwall moldingsallows visually altering the proportions of the room and creating interesting decorative effects. Molding installed at one-third the height of the wall from the floor divides it into two zones, which can be painted in different colors or covered with different wallpapers. This technique is especially relevant for high rooms, where it is necessary to visually lower the ceiling and create a more cozy atmosphere. Several parallel moldings placed at a certain interval create a rhythmic structure and add dynamism to the wall.

Combining molding with wallpaper allows creating striking decorative panels on walls. Molding forms a frame within which wallpaper with a pattern is applied, creating the effect of a painting or mural. Particularly interesting combinations are with wallpapers imitating fabric, leather, or decorative plaster. The contrast between the smooth painted surface of the molding and the textured surface of the wallpaper adds additional depth and expressiveness to the composition.

Using molding in combination with decorative lighting opens additional possibilities for creating unique lighting scenarios. An LED strip can be hidden behind wide ceiling moldings, creating soft contour lighting for the ceiling. Such lighting visually increases the height of the room, creates a floating ceiling effect, and gives the interior a modern futuristic look. Lighting under moldings framing mirrors, paintings, or decorative niches creates additional lighting accents and enriches the spatial structure of the interior.

Care and Maintenance

Molding made of MDF with a quality lacquer finish requires no complex maintenance and retains its original appearance for many years of use. To maintain surface cleanliness, it is sufficient to periodically wipe it with a soft dry cloth or a special anti-static cloth, removing dust and light dirt. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent can be used, followed by thoroughly drying the surface with a clean dry cloth.

Primed MDF molding

When properly used,MDF base moldingretains its decorative qualities for decades. A quality lacquer finish protects the material from ultraviolet radiation, preventing fading and color changes. However, it is advisable to avoid installing molding in areas with high humidity without appropriate protective treatment, as MDF is sensitive to prolonged water exposure. For rooms with high humidity, it is recommended to use moisture-resistant paints and additionally treat the ends of the molding with a water-repellent compound.

If necessary, the molding can be repainted in another color. To do this, carefully clean the surface of dust and dirt, lightly sand it with fine-grit sandpaper to improve adhesion of the new paint, remove the sanding dust, and apply a new layer of paint. The ability to repaint multiple times is an important advantagemolding for paintingallowing to refresh the interior without the need to dismantle and replace decorative elements.

Advantages of choosing molding MLD-001-MG

The compact profile size makes this molding an ideal choice for rooms with limited space and low ceilings.
