All Trimfinity Moulding is best stored inside and placed in a horizontal flat position. Allow moulding to acclimate to area of installation for 24 hours at room temperature. Our product does NOT need to be protected from water.

Door Frames can easily be constructed using Trimfinity® Door Jambs. Measure and cut hinge, header and strike jambs to length. Make jambs level and plumb. Clamp the jambs and mockup the door to the Hinge jamb and trace hinge locations and trace the latch plate on the strike jamb. Router the Depth into both jambs for the hinges and latch plate using mortise jig kit. Shim Jambs then use 2-1/2” long  6D or 16ga Finish Nails to attach to Studs.

All Trimfinity® Moulding can easily be cut with a quick chop stroke or quick push thru motion from a powered saw minimizing the cutting surface area.  For smaller jobs a Backsaw and Miterbox will suffice.

​

Miter Joints: formed by cutting two pieces of material at an angle, usually 45 degrees to form a 90 degree corner for window and door casing. The cut is typically on the face of the moulding lying on the table

Bevel Joints: Involves cutting the edges of two pieces usually at a 45 degree angle to form a 90 degree corner for baseboard, shoe and chair rail moulding . The cut typically starts with the Baseboard standing against the saw fence cutting the edge of the pieces on a 45 degree angle. Scarf Joints use same technique as bevel

Crown Moulding: Place and cut moulding so ceiling side will be flat against the bottom of table and wall side flat against the fence for inside and outside corner.

Rip-Cut: Use table saw or circular saw with a *No-Melt blade for best results.

Coping: For inside corners a coped joint is cut to provide a precise fit where the walls are not square.

Our products is prefinished to provide an ultra pure white, satin finish so painting is an option.  If painting, recommend at a minimum; Paint & Primer all-in-one interior 100% acrylic latex paint. Although scuff sanding is not needed, light sanding of the surface with fine sandpaper will remove dirt and debris blemishes.

It is recommended the product to be clean, dry, free of dirt, grease and/or other surface contaminates before painting  Our product can be stained by application per manufactures instructions.

Use soap and water or 50/50 Solution water/IPA alcohol to clean the surfaces of the moulding. Avoid long term exposure of solvents such as Acetone and mineral spirits that can affect the finish.

It is best to use a power nail gun, generally setting the PSI on a scrap piece by adjusting so the nail head sits slightly below flush into the material. Suggest 16 ga finish nails for Jambs and 18ga for all other decorative moulding. For manual nailing, suggest 6D finish nail for jambs and stools and 4D brad nails for decorative moulding along with a hammer and nail set. Fasten moulding to framing members when possible.

Using a power drill, pre-drilled pilot holes are recommended for maximum holding capacity using 85%    of root diameter of the screw. Don’t overtighten the screw to prevent stripping.
 

Adhesives such as Liquid Nails will secure our product to many other materials such as drywall and block wall where fasteners may be difficult to use.

Caulk joints using a paintable, acrylic latex caulk for best results. Holes can be filled using a light weight spackle, plastic wood filler or putty stick. Recommend to fill, then clean excess with damp sponge to eliminate sanding. Color matching fillers may be required using our Wood Finish moulding for best concealment.
