Preparation
Preparing for the installation of hardwood moldings is the same as the preparation for installation of hardwood floor. Sub-floors must be flat and level. “Highspots" should be sanded down and “lowspots" filled with a high compressive strength underlayment patch or self-levelling cement compound developed by a reputable manufacturer.

Standard length for all mouldings is 7’. Select species available in 8' lengths by special order.
