Wood moldings
are usually installed to create an attractive finished
look or to hide flaws in the joints of where walls meet
floors, ceilings, windows and doors. Wood moldings
also act as a barrier to direct water away from the
window top and to stop the door swinging in the door
frame.

Tools
you will need to install your wood moldings
|
|
If
you are just installing a couple of wood moldings, you
will probably get away with just using a miter box,
a fine tooth cross cut saw (for the general cuts), a
coping saw (if you need to cut scribed ends), your trusty
measuring tape, some caulk to match up the sawn ends,
hammer and nails to install the wood moldings and probably
some sandpaper to tidy up the sawn ends for a neat finish.
A nail punch is also essential in the installation
stage if you don't want to leave dent marks on the molding
as you hammer the nails in. If you are dealing
with a whole lot of wood moldings to install, then a
power miter saw is a real godsend.

Tips
when installing wood moldings
|
- If
you are going to install wood moldings that you
intend to stain or paint, you will need to do that
BEFORE you install them. Then all you
need to do is to tidy up the edges with a paint
brush.
- Find
out where the studs are on the wall (if installing
wall wood moldings) and mark them out so you know
where to nail the wood moldings. A stud finder
is a boon in these instances.
- When
nailing, do not try to nail flush with the wood
molding, you will inevitably dent the molding. Hammer
till the nails are slightly protruding and then
use a nail punch to finish off.
|
- Your
wood moldings will define all the corners
and add that finishing touch to a job
well done.
