Molding Options
When it comes to the finishing details for your new Inception floor, Metroflor has you covered with coordinating waterproof moldings. Inception waterproof moldings are wrapped with the same decorative film as our flooring and, just as in nature, there may be shading and pattern variations from piece to pieces. Because of this, it is recommended to pre-match the flooring pieces which will be installed next to the moldings and set these aside prior to beginning.
