Affiliate & Commercial Disclosure
1. Our Philosophy on Affiliate Compensation
Operating a hands-on home renovation website requires ongoing investments in physical materials, adhesive testing rigs, photography equipment, web hosting, and editorial research. Rather than cluttering our pages with intrusive pop-up banners, auto-playing video ads, or paid corporate advertorials, we fund our operations through affiliate partnerships.
When you read our guides and decide to purchase a recommended flexible molding roll, installation tool, or finishing adhesive through our links, the merchant pays us a modest referral fee. This compensation comes entirely out of the retailer’s marketing budget—you pay the exact same retail price (or lower with promotional coupons) as you would by going directly to the site.
2. Amazon Associates Program Disclosure
peelandstickmolding.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for website owners to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
3. Direct Brand Partnerships & Performance Commissions
In addition to the Amazon Associates Program, Peel & Stick Molding Guide occasionally partners directly with select specialty manufacturers of architectural trims and home decor brands. Under these arrangements, we may earn a performance-based commission on gross sales generated through dedicated affiliate tracking links or exclusive reader discount codes.
4. Our Editorial Independence Guarantee
We take our credibility and reader trust with utmost seriousness. Our commercial partnerships never dictate our editorial verdict:
- Honest Pros and Cons: We explicitly point out product shortcomings—such as trims that require supplemental construction adhesive on textured walls, or finishes that necessitate priming before painting.
- No Paid Positive Reviews: We do not accept payment in exchange for guaranteeing favorable coverage or inflating star ratings.
- Equal Opportunity Testing: If a budget product outperforms a premium high-cost kit in our flexibility and adhesion tests, we recommend the budget product every single time.
