Trim Installation Instructions

Tools and Supplies Needed

• Sharp fine-toothedsaw or a power miter saw

• Miter box

• Back saw

• Hammer

• One inch finishing nails or power finishing nailer

• Nail set

• Paneling adhesive

• Tape measure or ruler

• Level

• Combination

• Square

• Plane

• Protective goggles (to be used when nailing and hammering or when using a saw)

• Caulk

• Stain and/or paint

• Appropriate paint/stain application tools

Conditioning and Prefinishing: Open all packages and expose boards to the room

environment in which they will be used for a minimum of 48 hours. Removing the trim pieces

from the package and separating and exposing them to the room environment will accomplish

effective acclimatization. Finish/seal the trim face prior to installation. Pine trim may be left

unfinished for a natural look or finished using a clear, penetrating sealer, penetrating oil or

semi-transparent stain. A sealer or a clear, polyurethane is recommended for areas of high

traffic or high moisture content. All primed wood composite (MDF) trim should be painted prior

to installation for best results.

Wall Preparation: If walls are in good condition, glue and/or nail trim directly onto the

drywall or plywood. On uneven, cracked, or rough walls, trim should be nailed to a framework

of 1 x 3 or 1 x 4 furring strips of any specie that have been kiln dried. It is not recommended

that trim or plank paneling be applied directly to studs. In rooms that have high moisture

conditions, it is recommended that a vapor barrier is in place between the studs and the

drywall or subwall.

Step 1: Base Trim (sold separately from planks)

Mark position of studs if applying to drywall. Cut base to measured length and apply adhesive

to the back. Place base onto wall bottom with groove for planks facing up. Level base to ensure

it is horizontal. Nail base into studs. If floor is not level, you may need to add a piece of quarter

round or shoe moulding to cover any gaps between the base trim and the floor. If joining two
