white moldings

[newbee]

Hello

I wonder if anyone knows where to buy white moldings? I don't want any antique white moldings that look yellowish white.

A builders' merchant? Bauhaus, Byggmax, Bejjer, XL-Bygg.....

The moldings are not white at, for example, byggmax. They are so-called antique white, which means they look yellow next to a white wall. For that reason, I always used to buy moldings at Silvan before, but that chain no longer exists in Sweden. Does anyone know where you can buy white moldings that also look white against a white wall?

Isn't all common material Stockholm white (S0502-Y)? If you want another color, you paint it yourself or special order.

Didn't Beijer take over Silvan? Maybe they continue with them...

Thank you for the tip! I'll check with Beijer and see what they say. The other option is to paint the moldings myself, but it's not particularly appealing considering it's moldings for an entire floor of 100 m2.

Hmmm...the pre-painted moldings I bought at Bauhaus look blue compared to the ceiling, but that doesn't matter to me as I apply ceiling paint on the moldings (and the latex I had to use....)

One might be able to repaint the already painted moldings with raw white woodwork paint from flügger, which would minimize the number of coats. The question is whether they need to be primed first?

You might be able to repaint the already finished moldings with raw white carpentry paint from Flügger to minimize the number of coats. The question is whether they need a primer first?

No, the original paint was enough of a primer for my part, of course, you shouldn't skimp on your own paint when applying it...

But the best is if you can buy "white" moldings, which also look white against a white wall.

It depends on what kind of white you have on the walls. If it's the ceiling moldings, it will look best to paint them the same white as the ceiling, and if it's baseboards and door frames, I usually go with regular white carpenter's paint.

Searched a bit on the forum and found the following on the same topic:

Apparently, more people don't like it when it looks "nicotine-stained".

 

[Glufsglufs]

Nah....agree

Contact a carpentry shop; they often have painting booths and can get the white color you want and paint the moldings for you, slightly more expensive than buying pre-painted ones in the store, assuming they can also sell you the molding.

Thank you most humbly for all the tips that have been received.
