External house mouldings refer to the decorative arts that are used to cover the transitions between the surfaces of your home in visually pleasing ways. They will help you transform the exterior façade of your home, adding a unique element of design that will make your home the envy of the neighbourhood! Traditionally, external house mouldings were found on columns and entablatures where they were made from carved marble or stone. Today, mouldings appear in a variety of forms between almost every edge and surface of a home’s exterior, such as door and window trims, beams, mounting blocks for lights, doorbells, and letter boxes and more. What’s more, thanks to modern technology, these external house mouldings can be now be created using light-weight materials such as expanded polystyrene (otherwise known as EPS) as an alternative to the materials traditionally used such as stone, marble, or timber.
Why are external house mouldings beneficial?
Wondering how to personalise the finishing touches of your house? Mouldings go a long way in establishing the overall style of your home and distinguishing it from the often tedious and bland exteriors of your neighbours’ houses. Implementing small changes to the mouldings of your house can create dramatic differences and greatly boost curb side appeal as well as property value. Furthermore, refurbishing your home’s exterior with mouldings offers an opportunity to embrace your creativity and present your ideal home to onlookers and passer-by’s. Doing this, also offers the benefit of increasing the value of your overall property so if you think of it, its an investment that really pays for itself!
Why pick polystyrene for your external house moulding?
Don’t be scared to stray away from timber. Although a classic option, its growing scarcity means that it hits the wallet hard and honestly it can be a pain in terms of upkeep and maintenance. Opting for a polystyrene based moulding material can truly enhance and enliven the exterior of your home in so many ways. This material is renowned for its strength, durability and tendency to outlast its timber counterpart, rendering it the more economically friendly option. Their solid exterior coating acts as a great protector from the outdoor elements whilst maintaining a reasonably lightweight feel. Using a polystyrene material for your external house moulding offers the opportunity to introduce a splash of colour or a feature design to the outside of your home. Whether you prefer your finish neutral and monochrome or bright and bold, external house mouldings made from EPS will guarantee the perfect finish.
