Wall Base Molding Installation Video105

Welcome to our factory, where we specialize in producing high-quality furniture edge banding strips. We're excited to present this comprehensive video guide on how to install wall base molding, an essential component for enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of your home.

Step 1: Preparation

Before starting the installation, gather all necessary tools and materials: a measuring tape, pencil, miter saw, nail gun, nails or adhesive, caulk gun, and caulk. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of any obstacles.

Step 2: Measuring and Cutting

Measure the length of the wall where you plan to install the molding. Cut the molding to the measured length using a miter saw. For corners, cut the molding at a 45-degree angle to create a miter joint. Practice cutting on scrap pieces to ensure accuracy.

Step 3: Installing the Molding

Apply a thin layer of adhesive or nails to the back of the molding. Align the molding with the wall and press firmly into place. Use a nail gun to secure the molding to the wall studs. Space the nails approximately 12 inches apart.

Step 4: Joining Corners

For inside corners, miter the ends of the molding and join them together. Alternatively, use a corner block to create a clean corner joint. For outside corners, overlap the molding pieces and nail them securely.

Step 5: Caulking and Finishing

Apply a thin bead of caulk along the seam where the molding meets the wall. Use a damp sponge to smooth the caulk and create a seamless finish. Once the caulk is dry, touch up any visible nail holes with wood filler.

Tips for a Flawless Installation

- Use a sharp miter saw blade to ensure clean and precise cuts.
- Test fit the molding before applying adhesive or nails.
- Countersink the nails slightly below the surface of the molding to avoid unsightly nail heads.
- Allow the caulk to dry completely before painting or staining the molding.

Benefits of Wall Base Molding
