Design and Architectural Features

Concept of Ribbed Relief

Decorative Molding KPU-129 is made with a vertical fluted relief, forming a rhythmic pattern of narrow longitudinal grooves along the entire length of the molding. This texture creates an expressive play of light and shadow, visually enriching wall surfaces and adding architectural expressiveness to interiors. The even alternation of raised edges and recessed grooves forms a structured surface with geometric clarity of lines.

Vertical orientation of the ribbing creates a visual elongation effect, which is especially valuable in rooms with low ceilings. The depth of the relief is 3-4 mm, providing sufficient expressiveness without excessive bulk. The rhythmic texture adds dynamism and a modern aesthetic to the interior.

Geometry and Proportions

The molding has a rectangular cross-section, 105 mm wide and 7 mm thick, providing an optimal size ratio for creating expressive decoration without overloading the space. The width of 105 mm allows using the product as a standalone decorative element or combining several strips to form wide panels. The length of 2600 mm corresponds to standard ceiling heights and minimizes the number of joints during vertical installation.

The thin 7 mm profile ensures light construction and visual elegance without adding weight to walls. The clear geometry of the ribbed surface creates a strict, orderly pattern, ideally suited for modern and neoclassical interiors. The straight-line form simplifies installation and jointing of elements.

Stylistic Universality

The ribbed texture of molding KPU-129 refers to classical architecture with its columns and pilasters adorned with fluting. The modern interpretation of classical relief makes the molding universally suitable for various stylistic directions, from strict neoclassicism to minimalist contemporary. The neutrality of the pattern allows the decoration to be seamlessly integrated into interiors of any color scheme.

Material and Technical Specifications

High-Density Polyurethane

Decorative Molding KPU-129 is made from high-quality rigid polyurethane with a density of 300-350 kg/m³, providing an optimal balance of strength, lightness, and durability. Polyurethane is a polymer material with a closed-cell structure, resistant to mechanical impacts, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. The material contains no harmful volatile compounds and meets the environmental class E1.

The rigidity of polyurethane eliminates bending and deformation of the molding during installation and operation.

Installation and Mounting

Surface preparation

Before installing molding, the wall must be flat, dry, and clean. Significant unevenness is leveled with putty. The surface is primed to improve adhesive bond of the glue. When installing on painted walls, the strength of the coating is checked.

Marking and Cutting

Precise marking of molding positions is done using a level and tape measure. When installing vertically, the location of joints is planned. Cutting is done with a fine-tooth hacksaw or a circular saw. Edges are sanded with fine sandpaper.

Adhesive mounting

Installation is performed using polyurethane adhesive or liquid nails with immediate fixation. The adhesive is applied in dots or strips to the back of the molding. The strip is pressed against the wall with force for 30-60 seconds until the adhesive sets. For heavy, long elements, temporary supports are used until full curing.

Joint sealing

Joints between strips are filled with white acrylic sealant, formed with a wet putty knife. After drying, the joints are sanded with fine abrasive. After painting, the joints become completely invisible.
