Crown & Cornice Moulding Installation Instructions
Tools & Materials Needed
Caulking gun
Sponge or Clean Cloth
Miter Saw
Chalk line box and pencil
Polyurethane construction adhesive [PL Premium® recommended]
Prior to Installation
1. It is recommended to finish moulding before installation. If painting, use
an exterior grade acrylic latex or oil based paint.
2. Place moulding in room 2 to 3 days prior to installation. This allows the
moulding to adjust to the temperature of the room.
3. Clean the installation surface with a sponge or clean cloth.
4. Make sure that the installation surface is dry before proceeding.
Mitering Corners
1. Place moulding in the miter box with the wall side against the side of the
miter box opposite you and the ceiling touching side against the bottom of
the box.
2. Cut miters and but joints prior to installation.
Installation
1. Apply a continuous 1/4" bead of construction adhesive along the top and
back of moulding lengths and butt joints. Adhesive should be used to fill
any gaps. Press moulding into place. Finishing nails should be used to
secure moulding.
2. Apply caulk in remaining gaps and smooth with finger or putty knife.
Caulk can be used to fill in holes left from finishing nails.
3. Touch-up moulding as needed.
