What this product is and who it is for
This is a decorative MDF moulding profile with an ovolo (rounded) edge design. It is suitable for builders, joiners, furniture makers, and experienced DIY customers who need to finish edges, create trim details, or add decorative elements to interior projects. The moisture-resistant treatment provides added durability compared to standard MDF, making it appropriate for kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas with moderate moisture exposure.

Pre-installation checks and preparation
Before fixing, inspect the length for any damage or warping. Measure and mark your fixing points carefully, accounting for the 58mm width and 18mm thickness when planning layouts. Ensure the surface you are fixing to is clean, dry, and level. Allow the profile to acclimatise to the room environment for 24 hours before installation if it has been stored in a significantly different temperature or humidity. Use appropriate fixings for your substrate—adhesive, screws, or nails depending on whether you are attaching to timber, plasterboard, or other materials.
