INSTALLATION
taped, using a lowadhesion tape, to base or shoe moldings. Avoid taping to nished ooring. When taping paper or sheets
together, tape them to each other, not to the oor.
Moldings Help You Make Easy Transitions
T-Moldings: Used to create a transition between oor coverings of similar heights or to cover an expansion gap.
Stair Nosing: Used in conjunction with ooring installed on steps or provide a nished edge. Secure by gluing and nailing/ screwing down into place.
Predrill holes to avoid splitting.
Reducer Strips: Used to transition oor coverings of differing heights- wood oor to vinyl, vinyl composition tile, or low-pile carpet. Can also be used to
border a replace.
Thresholds: Used to transition oor coverings or to create a break between oor coverings – wood to carpet, can be used as a trim molding around
replaces or sliding glass doors.
Shoe Base Moldings: Used to cover the expansion space between the oor and vertical surfaces. Can be used as a substitute for Quarter Round
moldings when space is a limitation.
Quarter Round Moldings: Used to cover the expansion space between the Wall Base and your hardwood oor. You can also use them to make smooth
transitions between the oor and cabinetry.
Wall Base Moldings: Can be stained and nished to the color of the ooring to be used an alternative to painted baseboards.
