FAQs
Can this moulding be used outdoors?
Yes, provided the timber is correctly sealed or painted to withstand exterior weather conditions.
Is this moulding pre-finished?
The moulding comes in a natural brown hardwood finish and is typically intended to be stained, varnished, or painted by the user.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a miter saw, a drill with a thin bit for pilot holes, and a hammer or pneumatic pin nailer.
Can I paint this moulding?
Yes, it accepts wood stains, varnishes, and paints well after a light sanding.
Is this suitable for large glass mirrors?
It is designed specifically for smaller glass panels; for large, heavy mirrors, additional mechanical support may be required.
Troubleshooting
Moulding splits during nailing
Always pre-drill small pilot holes before driving finishing nails or pins into the hardwood.
Joints do not sit flush
Check your miter saw calibration and ensure you are using a sharp, high-tooth-count blade for hardwood cutting.
Glass rattles after installation
Ensure that a layer of glazing tape or silicone was applied to the rebate before seating the glass and installing the bead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the wood is acclimatized to your room temperature for 24 hours before installation. Use a fine-tooth saw to achieve clean miter joints and always pre-drill pilot holes for your pins or finishing nails to prevent the hardwood from splitting. To maintain the appearance, the moulding should be sealed, stained, or painted shortly after installation to protect the timber from moisture and humidity changes. Regularly inspect the pins to ensure they remain flush with the surface.
