Install Applied Molding Pieces

What happens here

Carefully position the first pre-cut molding piece at the bottom of the designated installation area, ensuring its straight end aligns with the vertical guide line and its angled end fits precisely against the diagonal guide line. Use the spacing template (e.g., a small block of wood) to establish the desired gap for the next piece. Securely fasten the molding piece using a nail gun, driving fasteners at appropriate intervals to ensure a strong hold. The video clearly shows the worker doing this with a nail gun, moving methodically from bottom to top. Repeat this process for each subsequent molding piece, consistently using the spacing template to maintain uniform gaps and ensuring each piece is level and plumb before fastening. This methodical approach, aided by the spacing template, guarantees the visually appealing, consistent slatted effect seen in the finished product.

Goal: Begin installing the pre-cut molding pieces starting from the bottom of the column, working upwards. Use the spacing template to ensure uniform gaps between each piece and securely fasten them to the substrate using a nail gun or appropriate fasteners.
