Molding Stack Information
To add Molding Stacks in your 2020 Design, locate them in the Drag ‘N Drop list under:
Moldings>Top Moldings>Pre-Stacked Moldings. To view the PDFs, right-click on a specific stack and go to specs.
Installation Tips:
• Cover countertops and work area to ensure a clean, free from damage work situation.
• Use a nail gun with a 23 gauge pin for trim. Standard is typically 18 gauge, however the 23 gauge micro pin makes smallest holes to minimize fill
work.
• Expect to lose up to 4”- 7” per cut when planning molding requirements.
• Apply finish material to the cut edges using a Touch Up Pen prior to joining the pieces together. is step will help conceal raw edges if the joint is
slightly off.
• Start from either the right or left side when setting the top molding in place. Determine the desired overhang to wall cabinetry and door overlay
type. Molding is typically pulled so the bottom edge is flush with the door face, however, the final overhang can be set to the customer’s preference.
Use the same process for under cabinet molding installation.
• Using Starter Molding is recommended, although, scrap material may be used as mounting blocks as long as they are
not
exposed after installation is
complete. Use construction adhesive.
• Side return moldings: Cabinets with decorative end panels applied should have the same overhang as the face. For cabinets that have flush end
panels, an overhang of 1/4” is recommended.
• Brad nail and pin length will be determined by the molding thickness (1/2” to 2” should suffice). Starter Molding or mounting blocks can be screwed
into place instead of using nails or pins (
Note
: Drilling pilot holes is required when using screws. Be sure to use the proper screw length–based on
material thickness). Using wood glue at the joints is recommended.
• After installation is complete, use a fill stick and touch up pen to fill nail holes, fine-tune miter joints and repair other blemishes that may have
occurred during the installation process. Wipe clean using a soft cotton cloth.
