How does Polyurethane Molding and Millwork compare in price to wood moulding alternatives?
A basic rule when pricing out Polyurethane Moldings and Millwork is that the larger or more complex the profile is, the more you will save with Polyurethane moldings. Having said this, any application where dampness is a factor, Polyurethane moldings are best, as they do not rot, nor will they require painting as often as wood moldings do. If pricing is a concern and all that you want is a very simple profile for a dry area of the house, then you may be better off shopping at a local dealer for your profiles; however, if you want something more extravagant then give polyurethane moldings a try. There is also a huge saving if you are doing a built up profile. Take our 170ED for example. Once installed, this profile will look as though you went around the room three times to install your moldings: once for the top piece of flat stock, once for the bottom piece of flat stock and again for the crown molding in the middle. Since all of these pieces are joined as one, you only pay to install
