Do I need to climatize my mouldings?
It is advisable that you “climatize” you mouldings prior to installation. Mouldings that are made of natural materials including MDF and other manufactured products can absorb moisture from many sources, such as a damp garage floor. The result of this can be that your mouldings can shrink after installation, leaving gaps that need to be dealt with. A good solution to this is to “climatize” your mouldings by stacking them in the room environment which they are going to be installed for at least 48 hours prior to installation. Ideally the mouldings should be separated to allow air to circulate.
