Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is MDF, and why is it a great choice for molding?
MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down wood residuals into fibers, which are then combined with wax and resin binders. It’s an excellent choice for molding because it is dimensionally stable (less likely to warp or crack than solid wood), has no knots or grain patterns for a perfectly smooth finish, and is very easy to paint.

How many total linear feet of molding are included in one package?
Each package contains 6 pieces that are 16 feet long. This provides you with a total of 96 linear feet (6 pcs x 16 ft), which is typically enough to cover multiple standard-sized rooms.

What is the best way to install this base molding?
Installation can be done using standard carpentry tools. Measure and cut the pieces to length, using miter cuts for clean inside and outside corners. Secure the molding to the wall studs using a brad nailer or finish nails and a hammer. For the most secure bond, you can also apply a bead of construction adhesive to the back before nailing.

What kind of paint should I use?
The pre-primed surface is ready for any high-quality interior latex paint. We recommend applying two finish coats to achieve the best coverage, durability, and a rich, professional look.

Can I use this molding in a bathroom or kitchen?
While MDF is very stable, it can be susceptible to moisture damage if not properly sealed. To use it in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms or kitchens, it is essential to seal all surfaces of the molding—including the back and any cut ends—with a high-quality primer and paint to protect it from humidity and water exposure.
