IMPORTANT INFO
• It is highly recommended that you paint or nish pilaster before you install it.
• Once installed, you can apply any necessary touch‐up paint or nish. Note: A high quality exterior
grade latex paint is recommended.
• ‐Place pilaster in room 2 to 3 days prior to installation. This allows the moulding to adjust to the
temperature of the room.
• ‐Clean installation surface and back of pilaster of all dirt and dust with a clean cloth or sponge. Make
