In the parks and leisure sector, appearance is, of course, essential. You want occupants to feel a sense of comfort and satisfaction when they walk into their accommodation for the first time. Achieving this is all about attention to detail – from the light fixtures down to the floorboards, and everything in between. Fully finished MDF skirting boards, architraves, door framing and stops, wall panelling, and ceiling coving, for example, give an interior a high-quality finishing touch. They also boast long-lasting good looks, ease of installation, durability and reliability. Let’s talk about these benefits in more detail.
Save time with fully finished MDF mouldings
One of the top advantages of using fully finished MDF mouldings is that they save time and, therefore, money. Mark Kirkpatrick, technical director at SAM explains: “Unfinished mouldings typically have a low up-front cost that can be tempting. But any savings disappear quickly when you add on-site labour costs. Especially the prep work that’s needed for a high-quality finish.”
Mark points out that with unfinished mouldings, installers must cut, sand, prime, paint and repaint them, all before they enter the building. “The cost of all that work adds up fast,” he says.
“With fully finished MDF mouldings such as skirting boards, architrave, door framing and stops, wall panelling, and ceiling coving, they arrive on-site with a factory-applied finish that looks smooth and professional. They are ready to be cut and installed. We can even cut mouldings to size, saving even more time and money.”
Mark also adds that with SAM’s tailored delivery service, items are delivered to your manufacturing plant exactly when needed: “This means you don’t have to worry about on-site storage, freeing up a lot of space to hold stock, as well as reducing waste and other associated costs.”
Other benefits
As well as the time savings that fully finished MDF mouldings bring to a project, they benefit park and leisure home projects in other ways:
- Durability: Fully finished MDF mouldings are highly durable and can easily withstand temperature fluctuations. Here at SAM, all our fully finished MDF mouldings are made of moisture-resistant MDF, making them a reliable option for all rooms, including kitchens and bathrooms.
- Reliable availability: SAM’s most popular profiles are kept in consistently high stock, so products are always available when needed.
- Less waste: Natural softwood products often have knots and other defects that must be removed before installation, but fully finished MDF mouldings have a consistent structure. This means the entire product can be used, and there will be minimal waste to account for in the budget.
What types of fully finished MDF mouldings are available?
Fully finished MDF mouldings are available in a variety of finishes. In turn, providing design flexibility and making it easy to find the right product for your project. The SAM range includes:
- Fully finished MDF mouldings – SAM Zero mouldings are finished with two coats of primer and an acrylic topcoat for an attractive sheen. These are specified as white RAL9003.
- Wrapped mouldings– SAM Wrap MDF mouldings are covered with wood veneer or PVC for a consistent, high-quality appearance. PVC is the most popular option for park and leisure homes because it is highly durable, resistant to chipping and doesn’t show minor scuffs and scratches.
Also available, SAM Mouldings are an alternative to fully finished MDF mouldings. They are provided with two coats of water-based primer. Additionally, they only require only a quick sanding before being finished with your choice of coating
