Cutting to openings

Measure the widest point of the opening or door frame, and cut the bar 3mm less than this width for clearance. Position the fixing strip A, and fix into position (as described below). Locate the moulding B onto the fixing strip A, and commencing from one end, gently tap the moulding down into its locked position, using a soft faced mallet or a striking block and hammer. Ensure that your striking block is softer than the hardwood moulding and that it is large enough to protect your hardwood moulding.

Concealed Fixing

Drill the plastic fixing strip, for clearance of number 4 screws. Using the hardwood flooring anclliary, position the plastic fixing strip along the centre of the doorway or opening. Align the plastic strip to ensure it is parallel with the required position. Then screw into position using number 4 screws.

NOTE: ensure there are no pipes or electrical cables likely to be punctured. As an alternative you may prefer to fix our mouldings using adhesive. A useful tip for this method is to apply the adhesive to the hardwood moulding, leaving small areas free at 250mm centres. In these areas apply hot melt adhesive. Position the moulding correctly and press into position, hold until the hot melt takes effect, (this will hold the moulding in position while the primary fixing adhesive cures).
