Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Softwood pine |
| Profile | Double astragal (twin bead) |
| Nominal Size | 9mm x 21mm |
| Length | 2400mm |
| Finish | Unfinished, ready to paint or stain |
What it's used for
- Framing and decorating wall panels or dado panelling schemes
- Adding a beaded trim detail to furniture carcasses, cabinet doors and shelving
- Accenting skirting boards, architraves and picture rails for a co-ordinated look
- Creating glazing bead effects on internal joinery and fitted wardrobes
Fitting and handling
Allow the moulding to acclimatise indoors for at least 24 to 48 hours before fixing, particularly in rooms with underfloor heating or varying humidity. Fix with a suitable wood adhesive, panel pins or both for a secure bond, and fill any pin holes before painting or staining. Store flat and off the ground in dry conditions to prevent bowing or distortion prior to installation.
FAQ
What is the difference between a single and double astragal moulding?
A single astragal has one rounded bead running along its length, whereas a double astragal features two parallel beads side by side. The double profile gives a slightly wider decorative band, making it well suited to panel moulding schemes and furniture trim where a more defined detail is needed.
Can pine astragal moulding be painted or stained?
Yes. Being unfinished softwood pine, this moulding accepts paint, primer, varnish and wood stain without any special preparation beyond a light sand with fine-grit paper. For the best painted result, apply a wood primer or knotting solution to any visible knots before top-coating.
How do I cut double astragal moulding for mitred corners?
Use a mitre saw or mitre box set to 45 degrees for internal and external corners. Take care to align the bead profiles so they meet neatly at the joint. A small amount of wood filler or decorator's caulk can tidy any minor gaps once the moulding is fixed in place.
