Why Architectural 2000?

  • This is a REVOLUTIONARY ALTERNATIVE to traditional plaster and wood and is the way of the future for the Modern Home. Architectural 2000 is so much simpler and easier to use than its counterparts. Why use them?
  • It has many ADVANTAGES over other comparable materials which are used for architectural products.
  • It looks like plaster but in fact it is much tougher because it is produced from Extruded Polystyrene. While plaster, if dropped will crack, the Architectural 2000 will not as it will literally "lightly bounce" on from the floor. There will also be no need to employ anyone after fixing to repair any damages which normally occurs with plaster or wood, so saving time and money.
  • Meantime it has all the BENEFITS of wood but none of the disadvantages such as splitting, rotting or cracking!
  • A beautiful feature of Architectural 2000 is that it is READY TO PAINT and does not require any preparation. Other architectural products have to be prepared first before being painted.
  • In fact, we have saved you the trouble as some of our mouldings are ALREADY foiled with a FINISHED painted effect leaving you with nothing to do. Now that's unique!
  • We have even gone further. Some of our Skirting, Architrave, Scotia and Quadrants have been finished exactly the same so that they can all be used together and will match. Just choose the finish; whether it is beech, mahogany, oak or white and then you can have the same finish fixed to the wall. All done for you by us, without having to employ someone to paint them for you. These popular colours have been chosen so that they can blend in with other finishes in the room such as floors etc.
  • Being plastic, it is FLEXIBLE and so will fit tightly even on those imperfect walls. Once glued, simply push hard into position on the wall as it will bend around most uneven surfaces in a straight wall. Plaster and wood cannot bend and so the walls will have to be plastered first in order to make them flat. With Architectural 2000, this is an unnecessary task, so saving lots of time and money.
  • Architectural 2000 is MOISTURE RESISTANT and can be used in areas of high humidity without having to be treated first.
  • Being DURABLE and LIGHTWEIGHT, it's so easy for:-
    1. TRANSPORT. This is not possible with plaster which would crack, but ours will not and will cost much to ship because it’s so light
    2. STORAGE. This is now not a problem for the distributor or builder as it will not damage. If all the stock is not used on a specific job, now, you are safe to store it and use on a future one.
    3. HANDLING. Normally plaster and wood being heavy requires one builder at each end of the length to hold and then fix. Not so for Architectural 2000, one man can now do the job of two.
    4. APPLY. Just one man can fix it to the wall.
  • NAILING IS NOT NECESSARY. It's so easy to glue with a 'no nails' adhesive. Then, simply place into position to fix. We offer our own brand of glue called "Emabond" (code: 9991013). However, you can still screw and nail Architectural 2000 into position if you wish.
  • These features mean the Architectural 2000 range provides high QUALITY mouldings with a CONSISTENT finish and still COMPETITIVELY priced.
  • Because we are the manufacturers, our whole range is kept in STOCK and is available for immediate delivery.
