The South Korean company HI WOOD is a recognized leader in producing decorative moldings from high-density polystyrene in the Asia-Pacific region, with a reputation built over more than 25 years of presence in the international market. The company's production facilities are located in the industrial zone of Busan, the second-largest city in South Korea and the country's largest seaport, providing logistical advantages for exporting products to 47 countries worldwide.

The HI WOOD production complex is equipped with modern European extrusion equipment for polymer profiles from leading German and Italian manufacturers, with computer-controlled systems and quality control. The extrusion lines operate in a continuous 24-hour cycle, ensuring an annual output of more than 18 million linear metersDecorative cornices made of polystyrene, baseboards, moldings, and other decorative elements for interiors of various styles.

The material of the crown A70V1 is produced using continuous extrusion technology of premium-grade polystyrene raw material with special modifiers that increase density to 37-41 kg/m³. The closed-pore structure with pore size of 0.09-0.13 millimeters ensures optimal balance between the lightweight and mechanical strength of the product. The molten polymer mass at 188-198 degrees Celsius is extruded through a precision-forming die made of tempered steel with geometric accuracy up to 0.025 millimeters, creating a profile with perfectly repeating configuration along the entire length of the plank.

HI WOOD product quality control is performed at all stages of the production cycle, from raw material acceptance to packaging of finished products in shrink wrap. Each batch of polystyrene undergoes laboratory tests for compliance with declared characteristics of density, moisture resistance, mechanical strength, thermal stability, and ecological safety. Finished crowns are inspected for 27 parameters including geometric dimensions with tolerance not exceeding 0.3 millimeters, surface quality, absence of extrusion defects, and profile straightness.

Moisture resistance of polystyrene makesinstallation of decorative cornices made of polystyreneA70V1 is a universal solution for any room, including areas with increased humidity. The water absorption coefficient does not exceed 1.6 percent after 24 hours of full immersion in water at 23 degrees, which eliminates deformation, swelling, or loss of decorative qualities. The product maintains stable geometric dimensions within a relative air humidity range from 15 to 95 percent.

Polystyrene's temperature stability ensures flawless operation in a range from minus 38 to plus 78 degrees Celsius without changes in the material's physical and mechanical properties. The crown does not crack during freezing, typical for unheated rooms in winter, and does not deform during heat in overheated attics in summer. The linear thermal expansion coefficient is 0.07 mm/m per degree, which at a plank length of 2000 millimeters results in a size change of only 0.14 millimeters for a 20-degree temperature variation.

Mechanical strength of high-density polystyrene is achieved through an optimized molecular structure with increased polymer chain concentration. The bending strength limit is 2.4-2.8 MPa, ensuring product reliability during transportation and installation.Cornices Barnaul polystyreneA70V1 withstands moderate mechanical loads without forming dents, chips, or cracks despite the profile's compact width.

Professional installation technology of the optimized profile

Surface preparation before installing crown A70V1 begins with thorough cleaning of the installation zone from dust, cobwebs, grease stains, and residues of old coatings with low adhesion. A dry brush with stiff synthetic bristles is used to remove loose plaster particles, and a damp sponge is used to degrease the surface with a water solution containing dishwashing detergent at a concentration of 2-3 percent. Loose plaster areas with low adhesion are mechanically removed with a wide metal putty knife until reaching a solid base.

Depressions deeper than 3 millimeters and cracks wider than 1 millimeter are filled with gypsum putty such as Knauf Fugen, Volma Shov, or equivalents, and leveled to the main wall surface using a 80–100 mm wide rubber spatula. After drying for 4–6 hours depending on the room’s temperature and humidity, the surface is sanded with P100–P120 grit sandpaper to remove excess material and irregularities.

The prepared substrate is treated with a deep-penetration primer such as Ceresit ST17, Knauf Grundirmittel, or Stаратели to strengthen the surface layer of plaster and improve the adhesion of the adhesive. The primer is applied in one coat using a wide brush or short-pile roller at a rate of 150–200 g/m² and dries within 2–4 hours.

The crown installation line is marked using a laser level or hydrolevel to ensure the profile remains strictly horizontal around the entire perimeter of the room. The laser level is mounted on a tripod in the center of the room and projects a horizontal line onto all walls. From this projected line, a distance equal to the crown height (70 mm) minus a 6–8 mm compensation gap is marked to avoid mechanical contact with the ceiling surface.

Reference points are marked with a pencil every 600–700 mm along the perimeter of all walls and connected by a continuous line using a long aluminum straightedge or a marking chalk line. The horizontal alignment of the line is checked using a bubble construction level at least 1500 mm long on each wall.

Angular crown joints are trimmed using a circular saw with a carbide-tipped disc of 210–250 mm diameter or a manual miter saw with 45-degree slots and a fine-toothed metal hacksaw. To form an internal angle, two crown strips are cut from opposite sides at 45 degrees to ensure tight, gap-free end-to-end contact. The cut edges are sanded with P120–P150 grit sandpaper to remove burrs.

The mounting adhesive, such as Moment Montage Superstrong, Titan Styropor, Makroflex, or Sooudal, is applied to the back of the crown in the area where it meets the wall and ceiling using dashed lines with a 7–9 mm diameter spaced 120–150 mm apart. Due to the compact profile width and low weight, less adhesive is required compared to heavy-duty crowns.

After applying the adhesive, the crown is left to air for 1–2 minutes to allow partial solvent evaporation and increase adhesive viscosity, significantly improving initial adhesion. The strip is then pressed against the wall along the marked line, applying even pressure with both hands along the entire profile length. Any excess adhesive squeezed out is immediately wiped away with a damp sponge until the adhesive fully cures.

The crown is secured in position using 50 mm wide painter’s tape, with the top edge of the tape attached to the ceiling. The initial setting time of the adhesive is 3–5 hours, and full curing takes 24–48 hours depending on temperature and humidity.

Decorative possibilities and economic efficiency

The universal white crown A70V1 is an ideal base for implementing any design concept, from strict classic to ultra-modern high-tech. The product harmonizes beautifully with white stretch and painted ceilings, creating a monochromatic solution with a delicate relief texture. Leading manufacturers’ water-dispersible acrylic paints are applied using a short-pile roller in two coats with intermediate drying time of 4–6 hours.

Painting the crown in ceiling color creates a visual height increase of 12–18 cm by maintaining a continuous horizontal plane without a sharp color boundary. Painting the crown in wall color creates a monochromatic solution with an elegant shadow contour that accentuates the profile’s relief. Contrasting painting in dark graphite, anthracite, or black tones against light walls creates a graphic solution suitable for modern minimalist interiors.
