Acanthus Leaf Molding
Polure acanthus leaf molding captures classic Greco-Roman relief work, bringing deeply sculpted botanical foliage and architectural elegance to interior cornices, ceilings, and wall panels. Manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), this ornate trim delivers wood-like mechanical durability while remaining ultra-lightweight to prevent ceiling or wall sag. Featuring closed-cell waterproofing with less than 1% water absorption, it will not rot, warp, swell, or foster mold in humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens. Operating within temperature ranges of -100 °C / +80 °C and rated B2 for fire safety, every length comes factory-primed with a white acrylic technical primer. Installation requires precise 45° miter cuts, continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive on all back surfaces, and countersunk mechanical screws. Fill joints and screw heads with acrylic putty, sand with 180-220 grit, and finish with paint.
