Banding & Dado Moulds

Banding and dado mouldings are horizontal architectural features used to create definition across exterior walls and façades. They can separate different wall finishes, break up large areas and introduce shadow lines, proportion and visual interest.

Thermatech manufactures lightweight banding and dado profiles in a range of flat, stepped and decorative designs. Profiles can also be customised to suit specific dimensions, architectural styles and project requirements.

Design Options for Banding and Dado Mouldings

Banding and dado mouldings can be manufactured in flat, stepped or decorative profiles to complement contemporary, Hamptons, Art Deco and traditional façades. Their dimensions and placement can be tailored to suit the scale and proportions of the building.

Profiles may be used to separate different wall finishes, emphasise floor levels, continue architectural lines around corners or create shadow lines across otherwise plain elevations. Thermatech can also customise profiles to suit project drawings, specific dimensions and existing façade details.

Benefits of Lightweight Polystyrene Banding and Dado Mouldings

  • Lightweight Construction: EPS profiles are significantly lighter than comparable concrete or masonry features, making them easier to transport, handle and position while placing considerably less additional load on the building. Final suitability and fixing requirements should always be confirmed for each project.
  • Durable Exterior Finish: When correctly installed, sealed and painted, Thermatech mouldings are designed for exterior applications and provide a durable, low-maintenance decorative finish.
  • Flexible Design Options: Profiles can be custom-cut to complement a wide range of architectural styles, from simple contemporary bands to more detailed traditional profiles.
  • Consistent Architectural Detailing: Custom manufacturing allows banding and dado features to be sized and repeated consistently across building elevations.

Straightforward Installation for Experienced Trades

Compared with heavy masonry features, lightweight EPS mouldings are generally easier to transport, position and install. Installation should be completed by suitably experienced tradespeople using appropriate access equipment, approved adhesives and good building practices.

  1. Lightweight Handling: Long profiles can be positioned more easily than comparable solid masonry components.
  2. Accurate Cutting: Profiles can be cut and adjusted on site using suitable trade tools, allowing accurate joints, mitred corners and project-specific lengths.
  3. Adhesive Fixing: Mouldings are fixed to suitable prepared surfaces using approved construction adhesives and appropriate installation methods.
  4. Ready for Painting: Once installed and properly jointed, the finished profiles can be coated with a suitable exterior acrylic paint intended for masonry surfaces.
