Specifics and Warnings: 

MDF moldings are sensitive to humidity and temperature fluctuations. Unless a coat of paint is applied on all four sides of the molding it is not recommended to use them in the basement or in the bathroom. Seal the top and bottom of the molding with a suitable product after installation.

MDF is directly affected by ambient temperature and relative humidity. This material may contract or expand depending on these factors. 48 to 72 hours before installation allow the MDF to acclimate to air and ambient heat. Do not store it for long term in the basement or in an unheated garage.
