Decorative Mouldings Add Character To a Home, Helping To Create The Style You Desire

Decorative mouldings add style and character to a home. The lightweight mouldings supplied by the Finishing Touch make it easier to add decorative house mouldings to a build or home renovation. The decorative architectural mouldings are manufactured from computer cut high grade EPS polystyrene, triple coated with a multi-part compound then reinforced with a triple coating of sand for maximum strength and durability, producing a moulding that will not crack, shrink, expand or bend. This process takes about five days from order and installation is very simple and quick.

Several properties are currently under development and the Finishing Touch are busy getting ready to begin manufacture. The first property is in Bentleigh East and is a 50 square home in the French Provincial style. The house will have a dorma window (oval window on the roof), keystones, seven arches, window architraves, window sills and parapet mouldings, all helping to create the unique French Provincial look that has become so popular.

The next is a post-modern, two storey building making up two units that are fifty squares in total. This property will use eave mouldings, French Provincial window arches, window sills and a large French Provincial parapet with a French Provincial stringer to suit. Five arches in each unit above the windows will add a highly decorative finish to the build.

And a single storey, post-modern, thirty five squares home in Yarrambat will be beautifully finished with decorative mouldings. This build will be enhanced by French Provincial parapets, a large keystone above the entrance, stringer mouldings, window architraves and window sills.

Decorative mouldings make it easy to create the French Provincial look, which is a popular style for houses built in Australia. This highly desirable style was recently achieved on a two storey, fifty square home at Sidgewick Street, Atwood. The house was superbly finished with decorative mouldings supplied by The Finishing Touch. They manufactured and installed parapets for upper and lower storeys with quoinings, a decorative arch over the balcony entrance and window architraves with a flatband extending around the circumference of the house.

Another house is styled in the French Provincial look in Nicholson Avenue, Mount Waverley.  Decorative mouldings have helped to create a stunning finish to this double storey, sixty square house. The Finishing Touch supplied the mouldings, including a large eave parapet 300mm x 300mm, decorative keystones above the windows, five arches over the windows along with window architraves, a French Provincial style parapet moulding separating the first floor and ground floor, garage mouldings and architraves around the entrance.

Decorative mouldings can be used for many other styles also, such as Georgian, Mediterranean, Art Deco and Post-modern. A two storey, sixty square home In Stafford Court, Wendouree has been built in a post-modern design.  The decorative mouldings have helped to create a nicely stylised finish, with parapet mouldings between the top and ground floors, window architraves, window sills and quoinings.  The Finishing Touch supply many styles of homes with suitable, long lasting, high quality decorative mouldings with a fast turnaround from time of ordering to installation.
