Our appliques and onlays are the perfect accent pieces to cabinetry, furniture, fireplace mantels, ceilings, and more. Each pattern is carefully crafted after traditional and historical designs. Each polyurethane piece is easily installed, just like wood pieces, with simple glues and finish nails. Another benefit of polyurethane is it will not rot or crack, or warp. It comes to you factory primed and ready for your paint, faux finish, gel stain, marbleizing and more.
I purchased a pair of these for a window header and had never worked with this material before. It was very easy to work with, the only drawback I would say was the thickness of the item. I knew it's size when I purchased it, but I think I didn't fully comprehend that until it arrived...I think in my mind I anticipated it would like a wood imposture, well it isn't, so get that out of your mind right now! If you want it to look like wood, use wood. I think in the future I wouldn't use this material again, not because it didn't apply beautifully, and paint up perfectly, but simply because I wanted it to look like wood, and it just doesn't. For reference, I applied wood glue to the back, then used a few strategically placed brads to hold it in place while it dried. I used white wood filler to fill the brad holes, sanded that, then caulked around the inside and outside edges very, very carefully so it had a seamless look, spray primed it with Zinsser 123, and painted it with Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel.
