Key Installation Steps: How to Handle Corner Molding with Precision

Installing Corner Molding is a task that tests precision and craftsmanship. Due to the excellent structural stability of glulam, strips produced by Nantong Wellhouse Architectural Technology Co., Ltd. show superior resistance to deformation during installation.

Precise Measurement and Angle Calculation

Most wall corners in buildings are not a perfect 90 degrees. Before installing Corner Molding, a digital angle finder must be used to measure the actual degree of each corner.

• Inside Corners: The molding is concave; typically handled with a 45-degree miter or coping.
• Outside Corners: The molding is convex; a precise 45-degree miter joint must be performed to ensure the continuity of the Corner Molding texture.

Cutting Techniques: Miter and Compound Cuts

Consistent with the precision mindset of Nantong Wellhouse Architectural Technology Co., Ltd., we recommend using a miter saw with laser guidance on site.

• Miter Cut: Setting the blade at 45 degrees, suitable for most standard Corner Molding.
• Compound Cut: For Crown Molding, both the miter angle and the bevel angle must be adjusted simultaneously.

Fixing and Bonding: Structural Security

To prevent gaps caused by thermal expansion and contraction, Nantong Wellhouse Architectural Technology Co., Ltd. recommends a Glue + Nail dual-fixation method.
