Studio Polymer & Flexible Polymer Material Guide

For Interior Decorative Mouldings

A refined, lightweight material designed for crisp detailing, easy installation and versatile interior applications - including curved walls, bay windows and unique architectural features.

The Studio range offers two complementary material types:

  • Studio Polymer – a high-quality, lightweight interior polymer ideal for most decorative moulding installations
  • Studio Flexible Polymer – a bendable version of the same material, engineered specifically for curves, arches and non-linear surfaces

Together, they provide a complete solution for modern and traditional UK interiors.

What Is Studio Polymer?

Studio Polymer is a lightweight, interior-grade polymer designed for clean architectural lines and easy installation.

It delivers the look of a plaster finish with the practicality of a modern composite — perfect for transforming walls, ceilings, media walls and joinery projects.

Key Benefits

  • Lightweight and easy to handle
  • Smooth, pre-primed surface ready for paint
  • Great for straight walls, ceilings, and furniture projects
  • Moisture-resistant once painted
  • Cuts cleanly with a fine-tooth saw
  • Durable enough for everyday spaces

What Is Studio Flexible Polymer?

Studio Flexible Polymer is the bendable counterpart to Studio Polymer — created for spaces where walls or ceilings curve or where radius details are required.

It shares the same surface finish and installs seamlessly alongside standard Studio Polymer mouldings.

Key Benefits

  • Bends smoothly around curved walls, bay windows, arches and columns
  • Matches Studio Polymer profiles perfectly once installed
  • Lightweight and easy to shape by hand
  • Ideal for period homes with rounded features
  • Pre-primed and ready for paint
  • Designed for both subtle and tight-radius curves

How the Two Materials Work Together

Both versions share the same:

  • Profile design
  • Primer coating
  • Paintability
  • Installation method
  • Surface finish

This ensures a consistent look, whether your room has straight walls, gentle curves, or dramatic architectural features.

Many customers use Studio Polymer for the main room and Studio Flexible Polymer for the curved sections — achieving a continuous moulding line around the entire space.

Best Uses in UK Homes

Studio Polymer is ideal for:

  • Straight walls and ceilings
  • Media walls and cabinetry
  • Picture rails, dado rails and skirting
  • Decorative wall panelling

Studio Flexible Polymer is ideal for:

  • Bay windows
  • Curved stairwells
  • Rounded corners in period homes
  • Arched openings and alcoves
  • Radius features in bespoke joinery

Environmental Considerations

The Studio Polymer and Studio Flexible Polymer ranges are produced using responsible, low-waste manufacturing methods powered by 100% green electricity, including on-site solar generation.

All profiles achieve an A+ VOC rating, supporting excellent indoor air quality in UK homes and commercial spaces.

The material is fully recyclable at end of life, offering a durable, lightweight alternative to heavier materials such as plaster, with reduced transport impact and long-term maintenance benefits.

  • Both materials are lightweight, reducing transport emissions
  • Manufactured with low-waste production processes
  • Durable and long-lasting once installed
  • Safe for indoor environments and low-maintenance

Installation Overview

Both materials share the same simple installation method:

  • Fix with high-grab adhesive
  • Cut using a fine-tooth saw
  • Fill joints with lightweight filler
  • Paint with water-based paints, emulsions, satin or eggshell

Flexible Polymer requires only gentle shaping by hand before fixing into place.

Yes, it is designed to flex around both gentle and tighter curves. If your radius is particularly small, feel free to contact us for guidance.

Will the Flexible version look different once installed?

No. Once painted, the Flexible and standard Polymer profiles look identical.

Can these materials be used in bathrooms?

Yes, provided they are painted with an appropriate interior paint. The materials are moisture resistant once finished.

Do the mouldings work on uneven UK walls?

Yes, adhesive installation and lightweight design allow for easy adjustment during fitting.

Can I mix Polymer and Flexible versions in the same room?

Absolutely. They are designed to work together seamlessly.

Are these mouldings suitable for media walls and cabinetry?

Yes, both materials perform well on joinery, media builds and bespoke furniture.

Can they be painted to match existing décor?

Yes. The pre-primed surface accepts most interior paints.

Are these materials safe for children’s rooms?

Yes - once installed and painted, they are safe, stable and low-maintenance.

Can I cut Flexible Polymer with the same tools?
