FAQs

What tools do I need to install this moulding?

You will need a measuring tape, saw (hand saw or miter saw), construction adhesive or nails, a hammer (if using nails), and possibly clamps.

Can I paint this moulding?

Yes, the unfinished surface is designed to be painted or stained. Be sure to prime it before painting.

What type of adhesive should I use?

Use construction adhesive suitable for wood. Ensure the adhesive is appropriate for the surfaces you are attaching the moulding to.

How do I cut the moulding to the correct length?

Measure the space accurately and use a saw (hand saw or miter saw) to cut the moulding at the correct angle and length. A miter saw is recommended for angled cuts.

How do I care for the finished moulding?

Clean with a damp cloth. Protect it with a sealant or varnish, especially in high-traffic areas.

Is this moulding suitable for outdoor use?

Troubleshooting

Moulding doesn't adhere properly.

Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before applying adhesive. Use a high-quality construction adhesive and clamp the moulding in place until it sets.

Moulding doesn't match the existing decor.

Apply stain or paint that matches your existing decor, and seal the moulding with a clear finish.

Gaps are visible after installation.

Ensure the moulding is cut accurately and fits snugly. Use caulk to fill any small gaps.
