3. Oppsett og forberedelse
3.1 Nødvendig verktøy og materialer
Målebånd
Blyant
Miter saw or fine-tooth saw
Adhesive (construction adhesive recommended)
Finishing nails or screws (optional, for added security)
Caulk gun and paintable caulk
Sanding block or fine-grit sandpaper
Paint or faux finish (as desired)
Vernebriller og hansker
3.2 Overflateforberedelse
Ensure the installation surface (wall, ceiling, etc.) is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose paint. For best adhesion, lightly sand glossy surfaces.
3.3 Cutting the Moulding
Measure the desired length for each piece of moulding. Use a miter saw or a fine-tooth saw to cut the urethane material. The material is designed to be easily cut without splintering. For corners, cut at appropriate angles (e.g., 45 degrees for 90-degree corners) to create seamless joints.

4. Installasjonsretningslinjer
Tørr passform: Before applying adhesive, dry fit all cut pieces to ensure they align correctly and form the desired pattern.
Påfør lim: Apply a continuous bead of high-quality construction adhesive to the back of the moulding where it will contact the surface.
Posisjon og trykk: Carefully position the moulding piece onto the marked area on the wall or ceiling. Press firmly along the entire length to ensure good contact with the adhesive.
Sikker (valgfritt): For added security, especially on ceilings or heavy pieces, use finishing nails or screws. Countersink the fasteners and fill the holes with paintable caulk or wood filler.
Join Pieces: When joining multiple pieces, apply a small amount of adhesive to the mitered ends before pressing them together. Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately.
Fuging: Once all pieces are installed and the adhesive has set (refer to adhesive manufacturer's instructions for curing time), apply paintable caulk along all seams and edges where the moulding meets the wall/ceiling. This creates a smooth, finished look and seals any gaps.
Etterbehandling: After the caulk is dry, the moulding is ready for painting or faux finishing. Since it is factory-primed, it provides an excellent base for your chosen finish.

5. Vedlikehold
Ekena Millwork urethane mouldings are low-maintenance. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is sufficient to remove dust and dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the finish or the urethane material. If the painted finish becomes worn or damaged over time, simply clean the surface and apply a fresh coat of paint.
6. Feilsøking
6.1 Adhesion Issues
If the moulding does not adhere properly, ensure the surface was clean and dry before application. Re-apply adhesive and use temporary support (e.g., painter's tape, clamps) until the adhesive cures. For persistent issues, consider using additional mechanical fasteners like finishing nails.
6.2 Gaps at Joints
Small gaps at mitered joints are common. These can be filled with paintable caulk before painting. For larger gaps, ensure cuts are precise and consider using a small amount of urethane-compatible filler before caulking.
6.3 Paint Finish Problems
If the paint finish is uneven or peeling, ensure the moulding surface was clean and properly prepared (lightly sanded if necessary) before painting. Use a high-quality primer if applying a significantly different color or type of paint, even though the moulding is factory-primed.
