FAQs
Can I use this moulding outdoors?
This moulding is intended for interior use. If used outdoors, it must be thoroughly treated with exterior-grade primer and paint or high-quality wood preservative.
How many pieces are in the pack?
The pack contains 15 individual lengths of moulding.
What is the exact length of each piece?
Each strip measures 2400mm in length.
Is the wood already stained?
No, the timber is supplied in a raw, natural state, allowing you to stain or paint it to match your specific interior design.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a mitre box, a fine-tooth handsaw, a hammer with small finishing nails (or a brad nailer), and wood glue or sealant.
Can this be used for double-paned glass?
It is generally designed for single-pane glazing. Check the depth of your frame to ensure the 8mm thickness provides enough clearance for your specific glass unit.
Troubleshooting
Moulding is splitting during nailing
Pre-drill small pilot holes before driving nails to reduce internal stress on the wood grain.
Difficult to achieve a tight mitre corner
Ensure your mitre box is set precisely to 45 degrees and use a sharp, fine-tooth saw for cleaner cuts.
Wood is showing gaps in cold weather
Allow the timber to acclimatize in the room where it will be installed for 48 hours before installation to minimize expansion and contraction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, measure your frame perimeter accurately and cut the moulding at 45-degree angles for clean mitred corners. Secure the bead using small headless nails or wood-specific adhesive, taking care not to strike the glass surface. Since this is natural timber, it is essential to seal the wood on all sides, including cut ends, to prevent warping due to humidity fluctuations. Regular dusting with a dry cloth is usually sufficient for maintenance. If the moulding is installed in a high-traffic area, apply a durable clear coat or high-quality wood stain to protect the timber fibers from impacts and environmental wear.
