Gently remove the corner clip from the corner moulding mate by sliding it
down through the open end of the channel. Holding the large at side of
the corner clip tight to the ceiling and rmly against the wall, screw it into
the wall through the center of the slots (see gure 1). Repeat at all corners.
Do not install the crown or corner moulding mates yet.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
GENERAL Paint (optional) your crown moulding and the decorative accessories PRIOR to installation using a
high quality latex or oil based paint. DO NOT use lacquer. After installation, caulk along the ceiling and in the
joints as needed to ll any gaps.
TOOLS NEEDED safety glasses, cordless drill; hand or table saw; tape measure; painters tape; step ladder;
caulk and caulk gun (recommended).
1.
Moulding Mates
TM
are designed to snap OVER the crown. Tap the
decorative corners onto the corner clips installed in step 1 and the
connectors to the clips installed in steps 2 & 3 (see gure 5). If the
Moulding Mates
TM
do not t tightly over the moulding at rst, sand or le
the back of the Moulding Mates
TM
at the interference point until it ts
evenly at all points of contact.

Start the moulding installation approximately 1/4” from the corner clip
installed in step one. Begin by placing the bottom bedding edge of the
crown at to the wall slightly below the clips (see gure 4), with the top
angled slightly toward you. Slide the crown upward until the bottom
groove on the moulding back engages the bottom of the clip. This may
require a couple of attempts. You may gently tap the moulding at each clip
location beginning at the end closest to the corner clip and working your
way toward the end of the piece, to fully engage both the top and bottom
moulding grooves. Proceed around the room securing the crown to the
clips as described above.
pro tip: Use the included “test” piece to get a feel for securing the crown to the clips, prior to using
your nished mouldings. Also, you may not hear “click” with each clip/groove engagement.
6.
Install the next Quick Clip
TM
approximately 8” from the corner component
installed in step 1. (see gure 2)
3.
Repeat this process approximately every 10” to 12” until all the clips are
installed. You do not need to measure precisely for each clip. It is sucient
to “eyeball” 10” to 12” which makes the installation process quick. You may
end up with extra clips.
pro tip: Use a piece of painter’s tape a few inches below each clip to
mark its location – this will help during step 6!
4.
Measure from each corner to locate the mid-point of each wall (or on a
longer wall to locate all of the points at which the moulding will join with
a connector piece). Mark each location with a pencil, and install a
Quick Clip
TM
: hold the clip tight to the ceiling and screw it to the wall (being careful not to over tighten)
through the pilot hole with provided drywall screw.
Do not install the connector pieces yet - Moulding Mates
TM
to be installed in step 7.
pro tip: If your drill has a clutch, use setting number 3.

Measure from the edge of the corner component tab installed in step 1
(see gure 1) to the closest edge of the Quick Clip
TM
mounted in the center,
or where your moulding will join on a wall (step 2), and subtract 1/2” from
this measurement to determine the length of the crown (see gure 3a).
Measure each wall as variation is likely.
pro tip: If you are using the Dentil prole adjust your cut lines on
both ends of the crown to give you the maximum distance possible
from the edge of the moulding to the closest “tooth” (see gure 3b)
