Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Softwood pine |
| Profile | Double astragal (twin-bead) |
| Nominal Size | 12mm x 34mm |
| Length | 2400mm |
| Finish | Prepared (ready to paint or stain) |
What it's used for
- Adding a twin-bead decorative detail to skirting boards and architraves in period or traditional interiors
- Applying a raised moulding strip to cabinet doors and drawer fronts for a classic furniture finish
- Creating panel effects on walls, dado rails, and wainscoting
- Finishing joinery details on fitted wardrobes, bookcases, and alcove units
Fitting and handling
Before fixing, leave the moulding in the room where it will be installed for at least 24 to 48 hours so it can acclimatise to the ambient temperature and humidity, reducing the risk of movement after fitting. Cut to length using a mitre saw for clean, accurate joints at corners, then fix with a suitable wood adhesive, panel pins, or both for a secure hold. Once fitted, the pine surface takes paint and stain finishes well; apply a suitable primer or wood conditioner before your chosen topcoat to achieve an even result.
FAQ
What is the difference between a single and double astragal moulding?
A single astragal has one raised bead running along its length, while a double astragal has two parallel beads side by side. The double profile creates a more pronounced decorative effect, making it better suited to bolder joinery details and larger panels where a single bead might look too subtle.
Can this moulding be painted or stained?
Yes. The prepared pine surface accepts both paint and wood stain. For the best finish, lightly sand the surface, apply a primer or pre-stain conditioner, and then finish with your chosen topcoat. The straight grain of the pine takes colour evenly with minimal preparation.
How do I fix pine astragal moulding to a wall or cabinet?
The most common methods are panel pins, wood adhesive, or a combination of both. For walls, ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying adhesive. Panel pins can be punched below the surface and filled before painting. For cabinet doors, adhesive alone is usually sufficient for the lighter loads involved.
