Plaster molding afraid of moisture and water. It will become moldy and deformed during the raining season and humid weather.

  1. Performance

PU moulding: ★★★★★  plaster moulding: ★★★

PU molding is detailed surface, good three-dimensional sense, and has many types. It is flexible, can be bent to different shape for curving design.

Plaster molding is rough surface and fuzzy texture. If you want to use it for curving design, you need to make a new mold. It is also fragile. The product will break easily when careless shipping or construction.

These are the pros and cons of PU molding and plaster molding. I believe you can see the PU molding is better. PU molding becomes the first choice for decoration. When you need to decorate your home, you should choose the Goodware’s PU molding!
