    What is Architectural Polyurethane?

Product Description

Quick Facts

  • Made from dense durable Polyurethane
  • Lasts a lifetime
  • Mold and mildew resistant
  • Flexible yet strong
  • Lightweight and easy to install
  • Sandable
  • Safe to install indoors or out

The FM-5538 Flat Molding is a plain molding typically used for chair rail & casing or door & window trim. The molding is 3-1/2" tall and protrudes out 1".

uDecor molding is manufactured with a dense architectural polyurethane compound (not Styrofoam). Polyurethane is durable and 100% waterproof. The material can be sanded to shape just like wood.

A major advantage of polyurethane is that it will not expand, contract or warp over time with changes in humidity. It's safe to install in rooms with the presence of moisture like bathrooms and kitchens. This product will not encourage the growth of mold or mildew.

This molding is delivered pre-primed for most paints. Always test your paint on a small section to make sure there are no compatibility issues with the paint and primer. Most home latex paints work great on our molding.

Pro-Tip-
When planning for chair rail or other molding, inspect the walls and/or ceiling to see if any vents or other objects are within the footprint of the moldings.

Painting-
It is easier to paint the molding before installation. Working at waist level is always better than working over your head. Paint your molding before you start the installation process. Then touch up the imperfections after you are done with the install. ALWAYS test a section with your paint of choice before committing to painting all of your molding. Paint formulations change all the time and you want to be sure there is no adverse interaction between your paint and the primer on the molding.

Joining Pieces-
Always use an appropriate amount of adhesive on the end of any of the molding being joined end to end. This prevents the molding from separating as the house walls expand and contract from temperature changes.

Last Piece on a Wall-
For a tight fit and seams, cut the last piece that is going to be on a wall just a little long. 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch is usually enough to allow you to snap that piece in place making sure all your joints stay nice and tight.

Lining Up The Pieces-
When two pieces of molding are being joined together in a run (end to end) leave the last two feet of the open end of the installed molding loose so you can have some alignment room when you join the next piece.

Finishing The Job-
Use Spackle to fill in nail holes and painters caulk on the edges between the molding and the wall and ceiling. Touch up these areas with paint.

25 Year Limited Warranty

Warranty Conditions and Limitations

This warranty covers material defects in our polyurethane products when used in standard applications where temperatures do not exceed 150°F. It does not cover labor, consequential or incidental damages. This warranty is not transferable and applies to the original purchaser only.

  • Polyurethane products are for decorative uses only.
  • Polyurethane products need a finish coat of paint during installation; it is the purchaser's responsibility to make sure their paint works well with the product (test and let dry on a small piece first).
  • Before installation, allow your polyurethane product to acclimate to room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • All polyurethane moldings must be installed with tight fitting joints (see installation instructions) as well as adhesive between the joints to prevent seams from expanding during changes in season.

Huge improvement

I have had my challenges since I am not a carpenter . The more corners and joints I had to do the better I became at it . The product I really nice to work with , it's super light , easy to take down if you need to. No issues with cutting it. I have an 8' ceiling and am not finished yet since I am doing other molding projects on the wall . Very happy with the purchase , Also shipping is very quick .

Awesome Product

We have been using uDecor molding products for two basement finishing projects and found the moldings to be an excellent choice. The material is light weight and easy to cut and paint. It has a rich finish to it, better than any box store product you can by. Family and friends say it looks great.
