After Renu Multifamily Services earned the contract to fully renovate 60 apartments in Spring Valley, Calif., they encountered a problem. Asbestos in the drywall meant they could not disturb the baseboard mouldings. The solution? Go over the existing mouldings with CoverTrim.
“Every room in each apartment needed new base moulding to help upgrade the units,” says Pete Foster, project manager with Renu Multifamily Services. “We’re fortunate that our estimators and purchasing people were able to find CoverTrim. Instead of ripping out and replacing the old baseboards, we simply slid the CoverTrim over the top of the older baseboards. Then we nailed it in place and kept on going. It was exactly what we needed for this job.”
Made of durable medium-density fiberboard (MDF), CoverTrim from Ornamental Decorative Millwork comes primed and ready to paint. Available transition blocks and spacers make it easy to quickly gain new mouldings throughout a home, multi-family or commercial project.
