QUICK AND EASY

Trim EZ mouldings take less than 20 minutes to install.

How to install Trim eZ products

Store the moulding at room temperature on a flat surface prior to installation. To prevent splitting, make sure the material is not bend too tightly. 24 hours before installation, place moulding in the room in which it will be installed. This will prevent the material from expanding or contracting after installation and will give the moulding optional flexibility, making it easy to handle.

Pre-determine placement and layout of moulding prior to fastening moulding into place. We recommend construction adhesive, in addition to nails or screws, to accommodate the flexible nature of the material.

With these precautions in mind, when installing polymer moulding, treat it just as if it were wood. Pieces can be cut, drilled, and screwed just like wood. We recommend the use of trim head drywall screws as fasteners. Do not drive nails into the edge of the material, but rather, approximately in the center.

Trim eZ can be installed indoors or outdoors. All moulds come of white color.

FINISHING

Several factors affect how and when to apply finishing to your mouldings.

It is best to apply finish after the mouldings are installed. Painting flexible moulding prior to installation is not recommended.

STAINING OR PAINTING

Prior to staining or painting, clean the material with solvent or soap and water if needed. You also may wish to use a scrap piece of moulding to see how the moulding will look after installation by applying a coating of your finish. Priming is usually not required. Just apply finish according to package directions.

Staining will work best if you wipe off any excess finish, especially in all deep grooves on the moulding surface.

FINISHING TIPS

During our last project, we found lacquer primer and vinyl sealer worked very well…”

“We trimmed our Sun Room and used Bin primer (alcohol base) and acrylic paint and it bonded to the moulding wonderfully…”

“In all the rooms we trimmed, we used Trim eZ mouldings and used the same paint for the house that we used for the casing. We always used acrylic primer and latex (water based) paint. We were very satisfied…’
