BARE WOOD PICTURE FRAME MOULDING
Solid wood mouldings for picture framing
Raw solid wood mouldings are a versatile, aesthetic and functional solution for picture framing, carpentry and interior decoration projects. Their unfinished surface allows full customization, adapting to different decorative styles and technical requirements. At Intermol you can purchase mouldings made from natural woods selected for their strength, beauty and durability, such as oak, beech, maple, mansonia, smoked oak and ayous.
What is a solid wood moulding and why choose it
A solid wood moulding is made entirely from a single piece of wood, ensuring greater strength and long-lasting durability. Unlike laminated or synthetic mouldings, solid wood mouldings feature a natural texture and a refined finish that improves with age. They also offer excellent workability — for staining, painting or varnishing — making them an ideal choice for decoration and picture framing professionals.
Advantages of choosing bare wood natural mouldings
The main benefit of bare wood mouldings is their ability to integrate freely into any project, as they have no surface treatments. This makes sanding, cutting, assembling and finishing easier according to the client’s specific requirements. In addition, their origin from natural woods ensures stable performance against humidity and temperature changes, especially when the right species is selected.
Types of solid wood mouldings available at Intermol
At Intermol, we work with different species of solid wood, each with unique properties suited to various types of projects:
Oak
One of the most valued woods for its hardness and strength. Its grain is pronounced and elegant, with tones ranging from light brown to golden. Ideal for rustic or classic settings where a warm and robust touch is desired.
Beech
A straight-grained wood with fine texture and a light tone that may show pinkish streaks. Very stable, easy to work, and with a smooth finish, making it perfect for precision mouldings.
Maple
Creamy white with reddish hues, this is a very uniform wood with a smooth touch. Its closed grain allows highly polished finishes, making it an excellent choice for modern and minimalist mouldings.
Mansonia
A tropical wood of medium brown colour with dark veins. Its excellent dimensional stability and natural resistance to external agents make it suitable for demanding environments and designs with character.
Smoked oak
Made from high-quality solid oak, this finish is obtained through an exclusive and innovative smoking process that preserves the wood’s texture and character, highlighting its grain with a deep, warm and natural tone without altering its essence.
Ayous
Our ayous wood, graded FAS quality, is highly valued in the framing sector for its lightness and great versatility. Its natural colour ranges from creamy white to pale yellow, making it an excellent base for staining or lacquering, easily adapting to any decorative style.
It is a soft and easy-to-work wood, mainly recommended for indoor use, where its clean and uniform finish can be fully appreciated.
Professional applications of bare solid wood mouldings
