Product Usage Instructions
- Tools needed to get started:
- Hand Saw / Chop Saw
- Hammer
- Finishing Nails #6 or #8 (1-3/4 long)
- Silicone Caulk
- Caulk Gun with Clear Silicone II
- Nail Putty
- Nail Punch
- When adding quarter round moulding to a four-cornered room:
- All cuts will be at a 45-degree angle, except for returns at doorways or openings.
- Use a miter box and saw to make the 45-degree angle cut.
- Measure for total length and add the next 45-degree angle at the end of the quarter round.
- Apply a bead of 100% silicone at each 45-degree joint to prevent water penetration.
- Make return joints where the baseboard meets the door trim:
- When the quarter round comes up to the door frame, run the moulding to the frame with a 45-degree angle back cut at the frame.
- Ensure the return joint is at a perfect 90 degrees.
- Cut a small return piece and apply a bead of silicone.
- If wrapping the moulding around abutments in the wall using a miter joint:
- Cut the angles in the exact opposite way as in Step 1, starting from the corner/curve in the wood and running into the center of the moulding at a 45-degree angle.
- Remember to apply a bead of silicone at all joints.
- Note: Some angles may be different, such as 21.5-degree and 33.5-degree.
- Splice together any pieces of moulding with two 45-degree cuts that run in different directions.
- Nail the moulding to the baseboard at an angle using #6 or #8 bright-finish nails and set each nail with a small nail set. Nail every 8 inches.
- Fill each nail hole with wood putty. If necessary, fill wood joints with putty, although a clean and careful cutting job should eliminate the need for this step.
We are glad you have chosen to finish off your flooring installation with Project Source quarter round. In a few simple steps, we will have you installing it like a pro.
Tools needed to get started
Instructions
- When adding quarter round moulding to a four-cornered room, all cuts will be at a 45-degree angle except for any returns at doorways or openings. Using a miter box and saw, make your 45-degree angle cut then measure for total length, adding the next 45-degree angle at the end of the quarter round. When installing, at each 45-degree joint, add a bead of 100% silicone to keep water from penetrating the joint.
- Make return joints where the baseboard meets the door trim. Every room has at least one door opening, when the quarter round comesup to the door frame, run the moulding to the frame with a 45-degree angle back cut at the frame. Just make sure the return joint is at a perfect 90 degrees. Now cut your small return piece and apply a bead of silicone.
- If you must wrap the moulding around any abutments in the wall using a miter joint, you will cut the angles in the exact opposite way that you did in Step 1. That means the angle begins at the corner/ curve in the wood and runs into the center of the piece of moulding at a 45-degree angle. Remember some angles may be different, some other common angles are 21.5-degree and 33.5-degree. Remember at all joints to apply a bead of silicone.
- Splice together any pieces of moulding with two 45-degree cuts that run in different directions. These cuts should fit together tightly and most likely will not be noticed if they are correctly done.
- Nail the moulding to the baseboard at an angle using #6 or #8 bright-finish nails and set each nail with a small nail set. Nail every 8″.
- Fill each nail hole with wood putty. If necessary, you can fill the wood joints with putty, but a clean and careful cutting job should eliminate the need for this step.
