How will my Pro-Flex™ Flexible Moulding be Bent?
Straight Pieces: No pre-bending required:
Straight lengths of flexible molding are used when the profile is to be bent against it’s thinner measurement as with a baseboard, a chair rail or an inside window jam or door liner.
For these applications, bending of the flexible molding profile may be done on-site.
Curved Molding: pre-bent to a required radius:
For round top window casing, door casings or crown molding applications the flexible molding must be prebent to conform to your required measurements.
Since the molding is flexible, it will allow for some adjustments on site; but it is necessary that we recieve these measurements to assure a perfect and convenient fit.
There are two basic types of curves to choose from as shown below:
Eliptical or Oval Applications:
An elliptical or oval application has a number of different radius measurements throughout the curve. Unlike the eyebrow or the half circle, an elliptical profile is not part of a full circle. As it is impossible to know where each different curve of the molding would begin and end, we always require a template to be sent to be sure that the correct shape and curved of molding is achieved.
A template can be made of cardboard or even paper.
