Scalloped, Piped & Crenelated
These are the profiles people specify when the joinery is the feature. They are also the hardest to coat, because there is almost no flat surface to work with.
- Machined MDF · Primed MDF · Solid timber
- Satin · Gloss · Whites and light colours · Darker colours · Black
A scalloped or fluted front is a continuous curve. There is no place for the coating to sit flat, so it wants to run on the outside of the curve and starve on the inside.
Piping and crenelation add hard shadow lines that the eye reads instantly. Any unevenness in the film shows up in those shadows before you notice it anywhere else.
This is the top rate on the price list because it is the most passes, the slowest passes and the most inspection.

Questions we actually get
- Why is this the most expensive profile rate?
- Because there is barely any flat surface on it. Coating wants to run on the outside of a curve and starve on the inside, so it goes on in more passes, slower, with more inspection. The price list reflects the time rather than the material.
