The Finishing Touch range of house mouldings have been named appropriately, as the lightweight mouldings beautify and adorn houses and buildings, adding a superb finishing touch.  Recently Finishing Touch decorative mouldings have been commissioned for a house being built in a post modern design located  in Hall St, McKinnon.  The exterior mouldings for this build include:

• Eave moulds
• Window architraves
• Window sill mouldings
• Stringer mouldings

The sixty square, double storey building has slightly more floor space in the downstairs area than upstairs. The project is currently in progress and will be completed shortly.

Another double storey home, moderately sized at forty five squares, will be further enhanced with a number of decorative mouldings. The house in Kiewa St, Ashwood will be highly decorative, with mouldings for:

• Parapets
• Stringers
• Window Architraves
• Picture frame windows on all four sides

The quoinings for this home will have a half cap at the top.  This is achieved with a square column that has a column capital atop, this look is known as a capital dressing.

A project currently under development in Mizpah-Settlement Rd, Buln Buln East (near Warrigal) is a smaller home, thirty to thirty five squares.  The home will be greatly enhanced with the addition of Finishing Touch house mouldings for-

• Arches
• Quoinings
• Window Architraves
• Window Sills

A home in Francesca St, Mont Albert North that was previously under development is now  proceeding.  Decorative mouldings for the first level of the house will be completed in three weeks’ time with all mouldings manufactured and installed, creating a stunning finish to this home, within two months.

Finishing Touch Lightweight Mouldings and New Product Range

Bendigo House Decorative Mouldings
The finishing Touch have recently manufactured and installed house mouldings to a home in Aitkens Rise, Golden Square in Bendigo. This double storey house of approximately 40 squares is of a post modern design with French Provincial influences. The decorative mouldings create a superb exterior finish to the home.  The mouldings were used for arches and keystones as well as stringers around the columning under the arches. Windows have been heavily decorated with French provincial style window architraves, window sills and stringers around the windows and window sills.

Durable, strong and lightweight these new products offer an aesthetically pleasing alternative to our existing product range which demonstrates slightly coarser sandstone/concrete type finish.  The mouldings in the new product range has a finish that resembles a finer grading sandstone or polished concrete look.  The new product range includes high quality corbels, clasps, bosses, vents and other architectural decorative mouldings to match the existing range.  More details on this range will be coming soon to our website.

Lightweight Mouldings
Mouldings have been used for centuries to decorate homes and buildings. Originally made from stone, stucco became a popular material and then terracotta. In more recent times render and concrete/cement materials were used.  Interior mouldings were made of plaster and before the Victorian era decorative mouldings were made on site by using fingers on the wet plaster. The latest development in decorative mouldings are a lightweight mould made from high grade EPS polystyrene. The Finishing Touch range is manufactured from this lightweight material, which is then triple coated with a multi-part compound and further reinforced with a triple coating of sand for maximum strength and durability. Guaranteed not to warp, shrink or bend this style of moulding can be easily installed,  free from the difficulties of traditional rendering and heavy concrete mouldings.

Post Modern Homes Transformed by the Addition of House Mouldings

A post modern single storey home being constructed in Studley Road, East Brighton has prominent exterior mouldings applied to the front of the house to create a stunning first impression.  The three arches alone make a grand statement.  Add to that eave moulds, parapet moulds, stringer moulds, window architraves, quoinings, key stones and under gutter moulds that hide the guttering and you have one very handsome exterior.  The builders of this forty square home have used Finishing Touch house mouldings extensively through the building.

Another post modern house, this one a fifty squares double storey home has made great use of Finishing Touch mouldings.  The parapet mouldings, window architraves, window sills and stringer moulds have added character and style to the construction.
