Polure's Molding collection offers a contemporary way to infuse architectural character and aesthetic depth into any space. Ideal for professionals and homeowners seeking to transform walls and ceilings with an artistic touch in interior design, these products are crafted from high-density polyurethane. Distinguished by superior properties compared to traditional decorative elements, Polure Molding promises lasting prestige and functionality for your interiors.
The unique advantages of polyurethane material make Polure moldings indispensable for interior applications. Produced with a density of 200-300 kg/m³, these moldings are surprisingly lightweight yet possess impact resistance comparable to marble. This lightness simplifies installation, especially for ceiling and high-wall applications, without adding extra load to the structure. Its complete resistance to water and moisture entirely eliminates issues like cracking, crumbling, rotting, or insect infestation commonly associated with materials such as gypsum and wood. Polure Molding maintains its form and aesthetics for years, even in humid environments like bathrooms and kitchens.
Design Versatility: Patterned and Smooth Options
Polure offers a wide range of moldings to suit every design aesthetic:
- Patterned Moldings for Classic and Detail-Oriented Designs: Our patterned molding models are ideal for those wishing to create grand and sophisticated spaces. They are perfect for boiserie applications on walls in styles such as Neoclassical, Baroque, or Art Deco. For instance, elegant models like P82009 or P82052 (38x88 mm) with more pronounced lines lend a noble framed appearance to walls. Delicately patterned options such as P82010, P82012, and P82017 bring the aesthetics of the past into contemporary living spaces, transforming walls into works of art.
- Smooth Moldings for Modern and Minimalist Approaches: Smooth molding options are prominent for architects and homeowners who prefer contemporary and clean lines. Minimalist designs like P85002 are used to create clean divisions on walls, provide a modern finish at ceiling edges, or add refined elegance to spaces. These models offer a modern aesthetic without disrupting the overall ambiance of the space. All Polure Moldings are produced with millimeter precision in CNC-machined molds, guaranteeing the flawless quality of each product.
Functional Use in Architectural Projects
Molding applications are powerful tools that go beyond mere decorative elements, transforming the perception and functionality of a space:
- Enhancing Spatial Proportions: Molding panels applied vertically in rooms with low ceilings can make the ceiling appear higher, creating a more spacious atmosphere.
- Creating Focal Points: Frames created with medium-width molding models like P82019 or P82024 on large walls provide an elegant backdrop for paintings, mirrors, or different textured wallpapers.
- Concealing Surface Imperfections: Minor imperfections or joints on walls can be aesthetically covered with molding applications, giving the space a smoother, more finished appearance.
- Easy Paintability: Polure Moldings, which come factory-primed in white, can be painted directly to the desired color after installation. This feature offers designers the freedom to work with a broad color palette.
Polure offers cost-effective solutions by minimizing waste in projects with its standard 240 cm lengths. Thanks to their UV-resistant structure, they retain their form for years in both interior and exterior applications, adding value to architectural projects.

Installation
Installing Polure Molding products requires specific steps and precision to achieve a professional finish. With the right equipment and careful application, long-lasting and aesthetic results can be achieved.<br/><br/><strong>1. Surface Preparation:</strong> Before starting installation, ensure the wall or ceiling surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Damp or dusty surfaces can negatively affect adhesion performance.<br/><strong>2. Measurement and Marking:</strong> Using a laser level or spirit level, clearly mark the lines where the moldings will be applied on the wall or ceiling. This step is critical for a symmetrical and aligned application.<br/><strong>3. Cutting Process:</strong> To ensure a perfect fit at corner joints, moldings must be cut at 45-degree angles. Using a manual or electric miter saw is highly recommended to perform this process flawlessly. Clean and smooth cuts enhance the quality of the final appearance.<br/><strong>4. Adhesion Stage:</strong> Apply an even amount of Polifix polyurethane-based adhesive, recommended by Polure for its high bonding strength, to the back of the cut molding pieces. Considering the adhesive's full curing time, press the molding onto the marked line and hold it firmly for a short period. Excess adhesive squeezed out from the edges should be immediately wiped clean with a damp cloth before it dries.<br/><strong>5. Joint Filling and Finishing Touches:</strong> Fill gaps at molding joints and where they meet the wall using an acrylic-based joint filler or caulk. After the filler dries, gently smooth the surface with fine-grit sandpaper. Finally, the pre-primed moldings are painted with the desired color and type of water-based paint to complete the application.
Care Information
Polure Molding products require minimal maintenance to preserve their long-lasting aesthetic appearance. Thanks to the natural durability of polyurethane material, they require no special care beyond routine cleaning.<br/><br/><strong>Daily Cleaning:</strong> To clean dust and dirt from the molding surfaces, a damp, soft cloth is sufficient. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or harsh brushes, as these can damage the surface.<br/><strong>Water and Moisture Resistance:</strong> Thanks to polyurethane's closed-cell structure, issues like water absorption or moisture damage do not occur. This feature ensures that moldings retain their original form without swelling, rotting, or molding, even in humid environments like bathrooms and kitchens.<br/><strong>Longevity and Durability:</strong> Polure Moldings are highly resistant to minor impacts from daily use, thanks to their high impact resistance. Under normal conditions, they offer a service life of over 20 years.<br/><strong>Color Change and Renovation:</strong> If you wish to change the decoration of your space over time, you can apply a new layer of water-based paint directly onto the primed surfaces of the moldings without any need for sanding. Any minor dents or scratches can be easily filled with acrylic putty and retouched.
