Description
Quarter round is used to
cover the expansion gap left between the wall and the wood
floorcovering. Quarter round provides a rounded transition
when installed properly and is generally either painted to match
the baseboard / base mould or stained to match the wood
floorcovering. It can also be installed flush with 3/4"
flooring to create a rounded transition in place of a reducer.
Quarter round can also be found picture framing fireplaces to
hide the edge of the raised hearth. In the new home
construction industry, this gap is commonly found when 3/8"
floorcovering is installed flush to the heart.
Quarter round is slightly
different than base shoe or shoe mould but sometimes the terms
are used interchangeably.

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 quarter round to the floorcovering, secure the quarter
round to the wall or baseboard
-
The
floorcovering should be able to freely move underneath the
quarter round to allow for expansion and contraction
movements during different heating and cooling cycles
-
When using
finish nails to attach the quarter round, be sure to set the
depth of the fastener shallow enough to avoid penetrating
concealed water pipes and wiring in the wall
