HD 1x6 3/4 in. x 5-1/2 in. x 96 in. Polyurethane Flexible Flat Stock S4S Moulding

A:  Hi John, Regarding your question, the profile name is HD1 x 6 and the net dimensions of the profile are 3/4" x 5-1/2". A couple other comments: 1) If you are bending the piece against the thinner (3/4) dimension, bending like base on a curved wall, a straight piece will work fine. 2) If you are bending in the other direction against the wider (5-1/2" dimension), like an arch over a doorway, we normally need to "pre-bend" the piece to the correct radius. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any further questions. Best regards, Greg Carter - Flex Trim (greg@carterflex.com, direct 336-242-1766)

A:  Hi Daniel, I hope you are doing well. Regarding your question, you mentioned that the product would bend approximately 120 degrees but I am honestly not sure what that means since the radius of a curve is specified in inches and not degrees. With that being said: 1) It might be helpful if you could send me a picture of your wall just so we are on the same page - and so I make sure to give you the correct response. 2) If you are bending a piece against the thinner dimension (like wrapping a best around your waist/base on a curved wall), a straight piece will generally work fine unless it is a super tight radius application like a "bullnose corner", very small column, etc. 3) If you are bending the piece against the wider dimension (like an arch/rainbow, half round, etc.), a straight piece would typically not work and we normally need to "pre-bend" those pieces to the correct radius. Hopefully the above is clear but please let me know any questions/comments. Best regards, Greg Carter - Flex Trim (greg@carterflex.com, direct - 336-242-1766)

A:  Hi Clay, Hope all is well. Regarding your question: 1) If you are bending the piece like a belt - i.e. against the thin dimension, straight pieces should work fine and the pieces don't need to be pre-bent. 2) If you are bending like a rainbow - i.e. against the wide dimension, the pieces would normally need to be "pre-bent" by us to the correct radius since this is a wide profile. If the application is an arch, we just need to know the width of the opening/window and the center rise. If the the application is a half circle/half round, we would need to know the diameter of the half circle. If the radius was not uniform all the way around the piece (like an oval or an elliptical), we would need a template. Please let me know any questions/comments.

A:  Hi - hope you are doing well. Regarding your question, any piece that we make can theoretically be painted or stained but if you were staining the piece, you would want it to have a "wood grain". The item that is sold on HD's website is a "paint grade" item (it has no "grain" in the piece) but we do have 1x6 profiles that have a wood grain (poplar, pine, oak, etc.). Our product is used all the time for applications that are being stained but i would really need for you to contact me outside of this portal so that i can provide additional information (there is a limited amount of information/characters that I can include here and it would be better if i could send you a more detailed e-mail, including some attachments/other details).
