Compatibility and fixing
This moulding is compatible with standard wood screws, nails, and adhesives suitable for MDF. For shelving applications, ensure adequate support brackets or internal framing beneath the profile. The 18mm thickness provides good screw-holding capability. Always pre-drill screw holes in MDF to prevent splitting, particularly near edges. For wall-mounted applications, use appropriate wall anchors or fix directly into timber studs.

Pre-installation checks
Inspect the length for any damage or warping before fixing. Allow the profile to acclimatise to your workshop or installation environment for 24 to 48 hours, particularly if moving from a cold store. Check that your wall or support structure is level and secure. Confirm all fixings and brackets are rated for the intended load, especially for shelving installations.
