SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure to use the correct tools recommended.
Wear safety goggles.
Follow adhesive, power tools, and paint manufacturers’ instructions and users manuals.
Use common sense and follow good construction practices.
1. It may be helpful to layout the components on the floor in front of the
installation wall exactly how you want it to look.
2. Establish a level line for the top of the moulding. Measure up from the floor
and make a mark. Use a level as a straight edge or chalk line and lightly draw
a line around the room. As you install the moulding pieces, make sure its top
is even with the level line. Mark vertical lines with a pencil for desired spacing
of stiles (if applicable).
3. If your room already has baseboard remove it rst. Install the 6” S4S trim-
board just like you would any baseboard. If the kit includes 5/8” quarter round
install where the floor meets the baseboard.
4. Install the stiles next by butting them up flush against the baseboard. Start at
your corners and work your way in for even spacing. Mark the stile positions
with a pencil. Apply construction adhesive to the back of the moulding and
set it in place. Hold the stile in place and secure with nails.
5. Apply caulk in any gaps between stile and wall and smooth with nger or
putty knife. Use caulk or lightweight spackle to ll in holes left from nishing
nails.
6. To install the chair rail start by nailing at one end and working your way to the
other corner. If there is a gap between the wall and the moulding, ll in the
7. gaps with caulk. Fasten the 4” S4S chair rail to the wall on top of the installed
stiles.
8. If your kit includes a top cap and top rail apply adhesive to the back and top
of your top cap, sit it flush against the top edge of your chair rail and secure
with nails. Lay the 2” top rail ontop of the top cap moulding piece with adhe-
sive and toenail the top rail into the wall and cap.
9. Fill in the nail holes and any remaining gaps with paintable caulk. Paint using
high quality latex paint.
