RPS moulding profiles
RPS mouldings (Recycled PolyStyrene) are available in the following profiles:
• Crowns
• Bases
• Quarter Round
• Half Rounds
• Panels
• Friezes
• Chair Rails
• Angle
• Caps
• Astragals
• Coves
• Waiscoting planks
• Shoe
• Door stop
• Drip
Adhesives
RPS mouldings can be applied with any PL Premium Polyurethane Construction Adheisve,
Lock Tite Power Grab can be used as well. Lock Tite Power Grab is an adhesive caulk, so when you
press the molding firmly to the wall and ceiling the excess caulk gets squeezed out. Wipe off the
excess caulk and the job is done.
Cutting
RPS mouldings can be cut just like wood. We recommend using a blade with 60 teeth or better.
Make sure to cut quickly for a clean cut. Quick strokes will avoid melting the material.
Nailing
RPS mouldings can be nailed as well. Use a #3 or #4 Bright finish nail. If using a Nail gun set the
machine between 70 and 90 PSI. Use a 16 or 18 gauge finishing brads.
Painting
RPS mouldings can be painted with any high quality acrylic latex paint. Light sanding is required
and make sure surface is dust free before applying paint. We strongly suggest testing a piece
prior to painting all of the mouldings.
