How to Install Base Moulding & Blocks

To install base moulding and blocks you will need a power drill and a 3/32-inch drill bit, hammer and 2-inch finishing

nails, a hand and/or power saw, putty or wood filler, counter sinker, measuring tape, pencil and safety glasses.

(A) If possible install base moulding first when trimming a room with Fara moulding. After the base is installed, you

will have a convenient starting place when you trim the doorways.

(B) Paint or stain the moulding and blocks before installing them. This will save time and ensure a “professional”

looking job.

First drill three 3/32” holes in the outside corner block.

(D) Position block on corner of wall (see #1 in illustration at top of page). The groove in the back of the block

automatically positions it correctly on the wall. Nail in place with 2” finish nails.
