FIRST STEP: MEASURE
First, measure the total length of the room’s walls and calculate how much moulding you need. Always purchase a little extra to allow for mitred joints and possible mistakes — typically 5–10% is sufficient.
STEP TWO: CUT
Cut the moulding to the correct angle using a hand saw and mitre box, or alternatively a mitre saw with a suitable blade. Sand the cut edges with sandpaper (max. grit 150) and remove any sawdust with a damp sponge.
STEP THREE: INSTALL
Apply a generous amount of installation adhesive to both bonding surfaces and along the joints, then install the mouldings immediately by pressing them gently into place.
Ensure the joints are aligned evenly for a clean finish.
STEP FOUR: FINISH
Finish the joints by removing any excess adhesive and allow to dry for at least six hours. If necessary, lightly sand the joints once dry, then fill all seams and joints with joint compound.
Wait a minimum of six hours before painting the mouldings in your chosen colour using a roller or brush.
STEP FIVE: RECYCLE
You can return any leftover mouldings from your interior design project to us. It doesn't matter if the pieces are cut or painted, we will reuse and recycle them for you.
You can bring your surplus pieces to our showroom in Kamppi, send them to us (we will pay the shipping costs), or we can pick them up from the Helsinki city center area. You can also pick up pieces of products you have purchased from our warehouse at no additional cost if the moulding you installed is damaged within two years of your order. The product intended for repair is either recycled or new, depending on availability.
Please email us at info@wallark.com and we will provide you with instructions for shipping or picking up your leftover pieces.
THANK YOU FOR RECYCLING WITH US!
