The P85408 decorative profile is a premium architectural element designed for both interior wall paneling and exterior horizontal accents. Offering perfect proportions for architects and homeowners looking to establish an aesthetic order on wall surfaces, this product adds depth and structural character to any space. With its clean and balanced lines, it seamlessly complements traditional, classic, or transitional decor styles.
Crafted from high-density rigid polyurethane, this profile features a density of 150-220 kg/m³, providing a surface durability comparable to hardwood while remaining lightweight. Measuring 2400 mm in length, 97 mm in height, and 28 mm in depth, its closed-cell structure makes it highly resistant to moisture and water. With a water absorption rate under 1%, it maintains its structural integrity without swelling, shrinking, or cracking in wet areas like bathrooms or under harsh outdoor conditions.
Visually, the profile features elegant stepped transitions and a flat central channel. This custom cross-section design enhances the play of light and shadow, bringing movement to otherwise monotonous wall surfaces. Delivered factory-primed, the surface provides an excellent base for topcoat adhesion. For exterior applications, applying a protective exterior paint is required to ensure resistance against UV rays.
Its application possibilities are highly versatile. Indoors, it serves beautifully as a chair rail separating two different wallpapers or paint colors. It is ideal for capping wainscoting in living rooms or horizontally dividing corridor walls to create a sense of scale. Externally, it is preferred as a mid-floor molding (belt course) for horizontal building division or as decorative framing around windows.
Offering a modern alternative to fragile plaster and moisture-sensitive wood, this profile boasts high impact resistance. During installation, it is secured to the surface using Polure Polfix adhesive and mechanically reinforced with screws. Once joints are filled and sanded, a final coat of paint delivers a seamless, flawless finish.
- Thanks to its versatile design, this decorative border profile is widely used in both interior and exterior applications
- Indoors, it creates an elegant boundary line dividing two-tone paint or wallpaper transitions in living rooms, entryways, hotel lobbies, and restaurants
- It can also be used as a top cap for wainscoting or as a decorative cornice at wall-ceiling junctions
- Outdoors, it is applied as a belt course (horizontal mid-floor band) on villa and residential facades, or as a decorative accent under windows
- Assess water and moisture exposure using the product technical data, surface finish and installation details
- After identifying a clean and dry surface for installation, the profile is miter-cut at 45-degree angles for corners
- Only Polure Polfix adhesive must be used for bonding; silicone-based adhesives should be avoided
- Once the adhesive is applied, mechanical fastening with screws is mandatory to ensure the profile sits perfectly flat on the surface
- Screw heads and joints are filled with a high-quality filler, and once dry, sanded smooth with 180-220 grit sandpaper
- The product comes factory-primed; applying an additional primer coat is optional and depends on the customer's preference in accordance with the paint manufacturer's warranty terms
- Finally, apply at least two coats of water-based or synthetic paint
- For exterior applications, using UV-resistant paint is mandatory
- Cleaning the polyurethane border is highly practical; dust and stains can easily be wiped away with a damp cloth
- Avoid using abrasive chemicals or stiff brushes that could damage the surface
- For exterior applications, the painted surface should be inspected periodically and repainted if necessary to extend the lifespan of the coating
- Any deep scratches or impact damage occurring during use can easily be repaired with filler, light sanding, and local touch-up painting
Can the P85408 border profile be used on exterior facades?
Yes, it can. The product is manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³) with a water absorption rate under 1%, making it resistant to rain, snow, and moisture. For exterior installation, it is mandatory to seal the joints with exterior-grade filler and paint the surface with UV-resistant exterior paint.
Which adhesive should be used during installation?
Only Polure Polfix polyurethane adhesive should be used for installation. Silicone or similar flexible adhesives are not recommended as they may stretch over time. In addition to the adhesive, mechanically securing the profile to the wall or facade with screws is mandatory for a secure installation.
Is it necessary to apply an additional primer before painting?
Our products are shipped factory-primed, making the surface ready for painting. However, since paint manufacturers do not guarantee applications done without their own primers, applying an additional primer coat is optional and left to the customer's preference. Polure does not provide a paint warranty.
What advantages does it offer compared to plaster or wood borders?
Compared to plaster, it is extremely lightweight and will not crack or crumble during transport and installation. Compared to wood, it is highly resistant to moisture and water, meaning it is less likely to rot, attract insects, or warp over time. It also offers much sharper detail quality and a longer lifespan.
Is the product impact-resistant, and can it be used as a skirting board?
With its high-density structure of 150-220 kg/m³, the product is highly impact-resistant. However, with a depth of 28 mm and a height of 97 mm, it is structurally designed as a wall border, chair rail, or belt course. For floor-level skirting needs, we recommend choosing one of our specially manufactured baseboard models.
