Decorative mouldings have been significant features of residential and monumental construction dating back to the times of the Greeks and Romans.

Moulding historically served the utilitarian purpose of tying two surfaces together such as a wall and a ceiling, to cover up unsightly cracks and keeping the wind out. Greek and Roman temples often featured carved marble mouldings in half-rounds and double half-rounds where marble surfaces joined.

In modern residential architecture, decorative mouldings have become an essential part of a home's interior design, and the creative use of mouldings can provide a stunning enhancement to a home's interior décor.

Pactrim ™ Mouldings from Pacific MDF in the Project House

In the Project House, we wanted crown, base, door and window mouldings that would be of a uniform grade and consistency with no unsightly defects. Because of the unlimited profile options and overall excellent workability of Medium Density Fiberboard, we chose PACTRIM ™ mouldings from Pacific MDF.

The MDF used in the PACTRIM mouldings is made by Willamette Industries, who also provided most of the engineered wood products used elsewhere in the Project House.

Last season, Michael Holigan's Your New House taped a "Did You Know?" segment at the Pacific MDF moulding factory where the PACTRIM™ mouldings for the Project House are manufactured, so when it came time to choose MDF mouldings for this season's house, we knew firsthand of the commitment to quality and excellence by the people at Pacific MDF.
