Fibrous Plaster Mouldings
A fibrous plaster moulding is a decorative plaster element most often used on indoor walls and ceilings. Some fibrous mouldings feature very intricate designs and are also known for their fire-resistance, versatility, durability and their light weight. Fibrous plaster mouldings are typically found in grand historical buildings, theatres and majestic homes.
What Makes Fibrous Plaster Mouldings Fibrous?
Fibrous plaster mouldings are fibrous because they incorporate organic fibres such as jute (sometimes called hessian scrim) or milled grass into the plaster mix. These fibres reinforce the plaster and prevent the plaster mouldings from cracking or breaking. By mixing these fibres into the plaster, we are also able to create very intricate shapes and designs.
Where Fibrous Plaster Mouldings Will Typically be Found
Fibrous plaster mouldings can often be found in theatres and music halls, where they are used to enhance the spectacle of the place, in public buildings such as museums and libraries, in historic buildings both public and private and in stately homes. They may be used equally effectively in building renovation or redesign projects or in new builds.
