Installation Guide
Overview
Each package of
New England Classic products comes complete with an installation
guide. Here are the highlights of the installation process.
1. After
installing the base rail, begin slipping in your stiles
and panels. Apply a few dabs of adhesive on the back of
the panels just to hold them in place as you move along.
2. Slip the
panels into the groove at the top of the bottom rail.
3. At an "outside"
corner, the stiles overlap to form a neat, rounded- over
edge.
4. Frame a
baseboard heater with 3/4"-thick wood and notch the
panels and stiles to fit around it.
5. Cut a hole
in the panel for an electrical outlet. Arrange the panel
layout or move the outlet so it falls in the flat portion
of a panel. You may also be able to place the outlet in
the base rail.
6. Beneath
a window, turn panels on their side.
7. Trim
a stile and fit it above the horizontal panel. Wide
filler-stiles are used on either side of the window.
8. The top
rail will hold all the panels and stiles to the wall.
If nailing by hand, use a nail set to drive the nail head
into the nailing groove.
9. Now you're
ready to install the cap, mitering at the corners.
10. Pre-drill
if nailing by hand. If you use an air-nailer, this is
unnecessary.
11. Finally,
install the shoe to fit against the floor and you're ready
to stain or paint.
