Instant Architecture!
 Add
architectural interest to your home with Architectural or
Finishing Moulding. Applying moulding is a great Do-it-yourself
project that can create the illusion of height or depth, give
definition to plain spaces and make inexpensive furniture
look like unique collectors’ pieces!
Add interest to a hallway by applying mouldings
in the shape of rectangular panels along the walls. Finish
a kitchen or dining room with a chair rail moulding placed
halfway up the wall. Or, why not surround your dining room
chandelier with a beautiful circular ceiling panel that looks
like plaster? You’ll be surprised at the endless options
available.
 Architectural
Moulding used on walls, ceilings and around doors are particularly
impressive. Finishing Moulding can be used to embellish furniture,
camouflage joints and highlight display areas or decorative
elements.
Moulding offers a variety of painting and
staining choices. If you prefer a natural wood look, choose
wood moulding. You’ll need to prepare it properly after
installing by filling nail holes with Dyna Patch and sanding
with 220 grit Dynamic Sandpaper. Remove sanding residue with
a Dynamic tack cloth and apply stain with a good quality Dynamic
natural bristle brush.
 If
you prefer the look of painted moulding, choose MDF, a wood
fibre product that is pre-prepped and ready for paint. You
can paint moulding to match the trim throughout your home,
or choose a contrasting colour to the walls of the room. Ensure
that the colour is complementary to ensure the contrast is
not too stark. For example, a soft tan room would look wonderful
with trim painted in a deeper shade of the same tan.
After installing the moulding, fill nail
holes with Dynamic’s Dynapatch compound and sand smooth
with 220 grit paper. Wipe with a tack cloth and you’re
ready to get painting!
