Description
Base mould is usually run
along the perimeter of a room and provides a pleasing aesthetic
transitioning a wood floor to the wall. Often, it is used
in conjunction with quarter round, but not always. Base
mould can either be primed and painted or stained to match the
floorcovering. Base mould protects the wall from bumps and
kicks that can happen as people and objects move about a room.
Base mould should be secured to the wall high enough to allow
the wood floorcovering to expand and contract beneath it.

Finish
-
Machine finished in our facility
-
The finish has added UV inhibitors to reduce the
effects of ambering.
-
Moulding Solutions uses only environmentally friendly, VOC
compliant finishes. Our high solids, high build finishes are
machine applied and quick cured through various methods
including chemical reaction and energy based methods. The
result is an even coat along the entire length of the
product. Our finishes have an added UV absorber to prolong
the life of the finish and resist ambering, or
"yellowing"
of the product from age. The resulting product will last
for years to come.
Installation
-
Proper
installation is detailed in the image at the
top of this page
-
Do not secure
the base mould to the floorcovering, secure the base mould
to the wall
-
The
floorcovering should be able to freely move underneath the
base mould to allow for expansion and contraction movements
during different heating and cooling cycles
-
When using
finish nails to attach the base mould, be sure to set the
depth of the fastener shallow enough to avoid penetrating
concealed water pipes and wiring in the wall
